Definitely made up for last season's opening trips. Got skunk five times last year.
This year, two trips = 12 fish, 9 over 20".

Yes, we all get skunked from time to time, but we keep coming back for days like you just experienced. By the way the photos are great, what kind of camera are you using?Definitely made up for last season's opening trips. Got skunk five times last year.

Whoa!!
That pretty much says it all. Those are hard to beat no matter where you call home!

Yea. Started the year pretty good.
I'm using the Olympus Tough 8000. Love it. Only bummer is it sucks in low light. But it can take a beating and is fully waterproof.

Do you think it would help me to get a trout tattoo like yours?

Didgeridoo: Thanks, it certainly takes much better pictures than my old Canon. I've been wanting a fully waterproof camera for fishing.

Fishing McHugh and Tokaryk Lakes in Manitoba, Canada. There's many more world class stillwater trout fisheries in the province but I haven't yet been able to get to them. Next weekend I should be healed up enough to get out. :stretcher

Great looking fish. Are these lakes in Parkland? I'm thinking of taking a trip to that area in Manotiba this summer as I've yet to catch a tiger trout. Seems our biologists here have a preference to get away from stocking species that are not native to Alberta. The Biologists in Parkland got the right idea for sure, wish we could use your biologists as broodstock for our bio's at A.S.R.D.:wink:

One of the lakes is near the Parklands. It's east of the rest of the trout lakes.
Tigers are a blast and definitely worth coming for. As Phil Rowley says, "They're sterile fish and pretty pissed off about it." These fish absolutely crush flies. They can be moody but typically if they're not biting....upsize. =)
In the east side of the province in McHugh (almost near Ontario) they have Sparr, which is a Speckled Trout x Arctic Char. Very pretty fish and have a lot of spunk in cold water! Fall time gives them some of the most incredible colours you can imagine!
