Today, less than 10 minutes walk from the spectacular deck of the Wood Restaurant at the end of main street in Canmore another stroll by the river yielded the header shot for this blog, a beautiful big Brown rising to Size 16 March Brown mayfly, also in the shot just over the snout of the trout is a substantial Midge morsel. This Brown was one of a group of 8 fish, holding in less than 3 feet of water within 2 feet of the rivers edge beside the paved walking trail in town.
