Anybody ever fish Big Hill Springs Creek (runs through Cochrane)? From what I've seen that people fish where it meets the bow but has anybody ever fished the creek itself/is it worth trying? I have seen fish in it from time to time.

I’m new to fishing and I’m looking for a good fishing spot near red deer. I also visit Calgary quite a lot and wouldn’t mind suggestions from that area as well. Preferably looking to fish to keep and eat

I’m just being extra careful. Is the NSR open throughout the year (Before May 15) in Edmonton? I’ve seen people fish driving to and from work but not sure. Regulations seem foggy to me. Thanks

So.... i fished in a lake...

Got a fish bigger than the limit (has to be smaller)

However, the hook damaged the gill (bleeding alot)

I panicked and tried to revive it asap inside water for 15 mins and its still floating upside down!

I in the end threw it back into the water as i cant help it anymore.

Did i do the right thing?

I just checked the regs, it says u have to release it no matter what. Just to make sure.

I felt bad cuz it such a waste of food :/

I’m currently working in Edmonton area and looking to get some river fishing done. My only experience is northern Alberta Lake Walleye and Pike fishing. Looking to tackle the NSR. Any tips/locations accessible by car and some hiking not a problem. Thanks

Any lakes / ponds near Calgsry where i can catch trout and keep ? Preferably open in May ?

Hi all. Recently gotten back into fishing in central Alberta. I’m a red head so the sun likes to melt my face. Looking for wide brim hat suggestions. I like the look of western hats but am pretty sure that I’d look pretty dumb fishing with a cowboy hat on as I’m not a cowboy looking person. (Big guy living in suburbia driving a Subaru lol) Any suggestions?

I'm looking for a spot to take my son tomorrow and I can't decide what lake to go that has good fishing right now? I'd be willing to go as far as Vulcan if someone has a better recommendation? Any help is appreciated and I'm slowly getting back into fishing now that my son seems really interested in it and is old enough to learn properly.

Hello Reddit, I grew up in Ontario and moved to Edmonton at the age of 25, in Ontario we went fishing every weekend pickerel and perch for eating and pike and bass for fun. I’m 42 now and would like to get back into the hobby again. I live in sherwood park now and saw a few ponds around, Fort Saskatchewan, Beaumont, Cardiff and a few others within an hour or so. I guess I’m just looking for some advice like what are these trout biting? Someone told me to use a pickerel rig with those Berkeley power bait little worm things. What’s a good pond to visit? My wife would want to tag along to sit in the sun and read a book. I would be trying to catch to eat these fish as we normally eat fish a few nights a week. Thanks in advance, any info would be fantastic!

Hey I’m planning on trying beaver river this summer anyone know what’s actually in there, I’ve been told pike and walleye, to trout. Does anyone know what’s actually in ther

Hey y’all do you know any good trout fishing on the fly or spin rod near cold lake,maybe max 2hrs away 1hr is preferred. Thanks

I’m based out of Edmonton and have been fishing the north sask for like 1-2 years. I have mainly fished places like goldbar and out and around fort sask. I’m mainly just looking for a new and easily accessible spot where I can go and enjoy the river, I would appreciate any suggestions and or help.

Anyone know if the ice is off yet?

Thanks

Hello Anglers, im wondering if anyone sees the condition of Spray Lake and McLean Pond? Are they thawed yet?

Thank You

just wondering if anyone else has been out and about yet to some local ponds. i checked out cardiff a few days ago and it was still mostly frozen. are the rest similar?

Is wabamun lake still frozen??

Does anyone know of any good fishing places that rent out boats? I’m located in Calgary, and me and the hubs usually go to Buck Lake. Unfortunately, it sounds like Bob sold the store and only has an online store.

Thanks!

Anyone have info on how thick ice is in recent warm days we have had minus winter number 5 and hat came this week 😂

I wanna go fishing for the first time with my friends (everyone's first time) I am from Calgary and want to go some where near Banff or Canmore that doesn't feel like I'm fishing next to a highway or in someone's backyard, are there any cool places you can recommend?

What is a good length, Baitcaster or not, single handle or double handle. What should be my next upgrade, I am using a Fenwick combo 6’6 rod to catch pike cause it’s the best rod I have but I want to upgrade this summer any suggestions

P.S would like to be able to get from cabelas or some other store near southern Alberta but can do online stores

Hiya! Last summer I had invested in a fly set up and had switched lots between the fly rod and my spinner quite a lot. This year I’m planning on using the fly more, and I’ve been doing a lot of research on techniques. What I don’t quite get is what to do when the hook is in the water. Just let it sit? Hike it back upstream sometimes? Jig it? Haven’t found very much resources that tell a fella what to do there… What’re y’all opinions?

I was looking at some fishing boats recently mostly from Lund and I want some multi species (pike and walleye), and a lot of the boats that I liked were 20foot plus like the pro v is that to big for alberta lake’s specially southern Alberta lakes

Checking if either of these lakes still have ice, looking to kayak fish.

Appreciated.

Just wondering if anyone has been out to reesor Lake recently to see if there is any ice left? Just wondering if it’s possible to fish from shore or boat right now
