I had a great weekend in Jasper.. fishing! 

 

It was a Joe in Jasper trip with our winners David Robinson and Bob Boychuk. The master and apprentice at Boychuk's Roofing.  I won't say which one is which, although the name of the company may be a tip off!!  A couple of great guys that made the trip even better. 

 

We arrived to Jasper Park Lodge on Thursday night.  If you've never stayed there you should check it out.  Each time I go out I find new things, this time it was the beach at Lake Annette.  We didn't fish there, just enjoyed the sandy beach!  http://www.fairmont.com/jasper

 

We fished on Friday and Saturday and caught some great fish with the help of Rocky Mountain Fishing Adventures with Shane and Matthew Swanson, our guides. I had never fished with a guide before, it was amazing.  Great tips, a fish fry on shore and lots of great stories.  It was my first time fly fishing and it was great!  Excuse the pun, but I think I'm hooked.  Okay I actually did hook myself a couple of times; I guess I still need a little practice. You should check out what Shane has to offer at www.catchfish.ca.

 

When David and Bob got home they had a gift card from The Fishin' Hole waiting for them.  I think they might be picking up some fly fishing gear.  They really enjoyed it too.  The Fishin' Hole is a great one stop place for anything fishing! http://www.thefishinhole.com/

 

It was a great weekend but I'll spare you the stories of the one that got away. I will say this, David and Bob came away with the catch limit!  Now that's good fishing!!!
