Pictures from 2007 Mountain Streams Trips:
We had a hard time narrowing the pictures down from all our trips to the mountain and foothill trout streams from this season--there were just so many great fish! We stuck with it and managed to get it down to 1-3 pictures from each outing. As you can see, it was a stellar year in the SW Alberta tributaries!

We hope you enjoy the gallery and end up experiencing these small-stream gems with us in 2008! Note that the season for angling on our mountain streams runs from June 16 to Oct 31 inclusive.
