Hi Michelle,

We had a great day on the re-designed river.

First of all, the river looked great and exploring was good fun.

We were into fish within sight of the launch and hooked up on both streamers and nymphs.

We caught fish all day long, even in the bright sun and had three double-headers. Most of the fish were big and healthy and fooled on leeches or stones and streamers fished tight to the bank.

Brown with a bit of yellow was the streamer colour that worked well for us.

We were pleased to catch some nice fish below the Highwood as well.

Water clarity was about 3 feet.

We did catch a couple 6 inchers which was encouraging.

I've included a picture of what I believe was a buffalo bone bed and a short video of the Cliffs.
