Here's an interesting one from Tracy Conner. She caught this 25" beauty last summer along the forestry trunk road while fishing with her Dad. She swears it's a Brook/Bull cross.

This 6lb, 26.5" Walleye made it a days worth of fishing on Eagle lake, for Les Bodis. He caughi it on a smelt in 15 feet of water. Not bad considering it's his first Walleye caught ice-fishing.
|
This Brown Trout was caught by Maxwell Robinson from Calgary. He caught it on a black and gold Mepps spinner in late September under one of his favorite bridges. The length was 27 inches long, without a pinched tail, and it was the biggest he's ever caught.

Bernice Kreis gives our host a few pointers and caught this Quarry Pond Grayling in October on a Mepps Xtra Deep Spinner in the Rainbow Trout Pattern.

Billy had never been fishing until this summer. Here she shows off her very first Walleye. The fish was caught and released on Crawling Valley Reservoir using a 3" White Exude Twister Tails. Having a first day like this has got Billy hooked on fishing.
|
Not to be out-done, Billy's man Jake shows off another great Walleye caught and released at Crawling Valley.

Nice pike pumpkin! Now pucker-up for a picture. Jake congratulates Billy on landing her first water-wolf. She hooked it, landed it, and released it. Nice job Billy ... have you thought of going on the tournament Trail?

Fishing Alberta Executive Producer, Scott Rawlings had the chance to treat his younger brother and Dad to a day's fishing on Crawling Valley. Once he was able to convince these "easterners" that they were fishing for Walleye, not Pickerel, the day went smoothly. The boys caught and released dozens of fat Walleye, and as this picture shows, several decent Pike.
|
Ross Rawlings shows off a nice 5lb Walleye. By the time the sun was setting and it was time to pack up and head home, Ross was hooked. He could be heard saying "Just one more and we'll go ... that's it, come to papa big Wally!"
|
Out of the office and off the rugby field, Scott's younger brother Kent finally got to see first hand what all the fuss was about. When you spend 10 hours a day in Toronto's concrete jungle it's hard to imagine enjoying a day on a reservoir in bald --s praries. Needless to say the easterner has a new respect for Canada's best Province!

|
This photo was sent in by Craig Graham, it's of Ed Grozic. Ed caught the fish jigging with a spool of 4 lb. test. No rod, just hands because the fishbite is so light there. Craig says he wouldn't have believed it had he not seen it. The fish measured in at 36", and they guessed it's weight was between 12 and 16 pounds.
