Welll the water levels have finally dropped to a reasonable level, allowing us to fish the upper portion of Strathcona Park for the first time. Overall the fishing was respectable with numerous chunky SM in the 10-14" range were caught. We even had another muskie encounter.....tried to take a 12" smallie that was being brought in. It didn't hold him for long but did leave a few telltale slashed on the side of the smallie.
