Fly Fishing Alberta's Blackstone River

August 14, 2010 By: Marshall Cutchin

Central Alberta lays claim to some of the best cutthroat rivers in North America, among them the Blackstone. Shelley Bindon of the Edmonton Journal writes about wet-wading the Blackstone with caddisflies and stimulators.
“So, the Blackstone is lovely. It’s a foot to three feet deep and ripples along its bendy, rock-bottomed course. It teems with life, as evidenced by hoofprints and scat piles along the banks.”
