Here is some likely habitat! Will come back with a flyrod next spring!

Last of the Old Man Rivers from this trip: Racehorse Creek. A gem of a river, with a picture perfect campground. And lots of eagar cutthroat!

The Livingston River in the Oldman River Watershed…beautiful hiking and plenty of fish!

Back to the deep green, cold, clear waters of the Livingston!

Found a sweet spot on the famed Livingston River, a tributary of the Oldman River in southern Alberta - a waterfall into a small pool holding - dozens of actively feeding 16” cutthroat. Flyfishing at its best!

So many elk passed us en route to Bull River, BC. 100 easy! Traffic was stopped for 20 minutes!

Love when a Rocky Mountain Big Horn Sheep saunters in front of you car on a backwoods fishing adventure!

Return to the wild!

Part of the allure of angling is close encounters with these amazing creatures. This aligns with my past research focus of making “making the unseen in Nature seen”….

Cutthroat recovering on release. I love how the coloring matches the rocks, including the black spots. This fish mobilized back to an undercut bank shortly after the video.

Ok, here’s a beautiful cutthroat, from the famed Michel Creek, near Sparwood, BC!

Haven’t posted for a while, so am continuing the thread of BC … playing a cutthroat…1
