Being from Minnesota, I’ve never been a huge trout fisherman. I’ve always been more focused on the warmwater species that are abundant in my area, that I grew up fishing for and that I’ll always enjoy targeting. (Not to say there isn’t any trout fishing around here whatsoever, but as […]

Most of Alberta’s higher elevation lakes are stocked with beautiful cutthroat trout, who thrive in the cold mountain waters. As the ice starts to rot away, the cutthroat begin their transformation into fire belly monsters. […]
