Added a new species to my list, closed out the 2012/2013
fishing season and didn’t fall into the water. Life for this fisherman
doesn’t get much better than that...at this time of year. Hit the Fairford
River about 10:00 with fishing partner Robert Burton but couldn’t spot anything
in the shallows. Several spin/bait fisher people beside us hadn’t caught a thing after a
few hours and left. Eventually a small group of lake ciscos moved into the shallows and
a size 12, green bead headed nymph finally brought one in. Robert caught a few
and a couple of other fly fishermen caught a number more. All in all a good day spent on the water considering
the thick blanket of snow still covering the bulk of Manitoba.
