End of Part 1

On Sunday, after a cool night we were up to a damp fly, but thankfully no ice. We had a relaxed breakfast then took down the wet camp and loaded everything into the truck. It was still a cool morning, but we continued off on the road. Cataract Creek looked a little different in the heavier clouds.

We went back to the Highwood River in under the bridge at Highwood Junction to try out the couple of pools that were good the last time we were there. Things looked a little darker and were much cooler this time.

The first pool didn't have anything happening in it, so we moved along to the second, where Mike had caught the largest fish of the trip.

Things were cold and it was starting to rain. Mike did manage to get one fish to rise up to his fly, in the same spot he caught the big fish the last time, but it was once, after many, many casts.

I had no luck at all, so it was time to retreat back to the truck, to the heated seats, and call it a trip. When the next time happens, we will start from Highwood Junction and work north, through Kananaskis Country and up the Smith Dorrien Trail to Canmore, before continuing on the Trunk Road off Hwy 1A.
