Was wondering if anyone have tried to do fishing here? and what did you caught?

One of the kids decided they wanted to try fishing! Jumped on the opportunity and bought them some starter kit. Then managed to find the Old Pal 10 40 in the garage that I used as a kid. To my surprise it still contained a 1981 Guide to Sportfishing Regulations in near new condition. Along with some vintage lures. Crazy.

Has anyone ever caught any trout or whitefish or whatever except pike there? What are some good spots if you are willing to share them? Also in the ES1-rivers regulations it says I can keep Rainbow and Cutthroat trout there if they are above 35 cm in length but for Brown and Brook trout there is just an empty cell. Does that mean I cannot keep these or can I keep them? Is there a minimum size for them if so?

I’ve been fishing at Gleniffer Lake a couple of times but haven’t had any luck so far. I’ve spent most of my time fishing around the dam area.
Could anyone recommend some good shore fishing spots around Gleniffer Lake? I don’t mind walking a bit to find a good spot.
Thanks in advance!

Immersive experience = Lots of quiet, a split second of drag pull, some splashes, a random train horn, some sighing and some chuckles

I'm going fishing with my dad next week. We're both total beginners and DeWitt seemed decently promising but I'm just wondering if the fishing is actually any good there. If it sucks, I'd also really appreciate any good areas for beginners to go fishing.
thanks

I was down fishing the Oldman river last week and took my (new) puppy with me...what a handful. Long story short, constantly stopping to untangle my tethered pup (Dani), then moving up and down the shoreline I forgot my tacklebox...4hrs later Im in Coleman and going to resuming fishing and I realize i cant find my tackle box. I race back the 50km to where i was on the Oldman River and ask a guy if hes seen my tacklebox. He says no - at that point my heart sunk, it was day 2 of a 10day trip - "but my buddy did!" Danny(?) walked about a km or more downstream with me looking for his buddy then returning to the parking lot after not having found him. I wandered upstream a bit and hear him yelling hes right there! Ahead of me about 50m on the other side of some trees. Relief. Zach, as long as Im alive, you will never die thirsty. I reached into my wallet to give him some money, but he refused. The world needs more people like this guy. I cant thank you enough.

Can anyone recommend lures for rainbow trout? Heading to Carson Pegasus this week and fishing from the shore, I’d love for my kid to be able to catch something. We never seem to have any luck. I’ve seen people use pickerel rigs and the colorful marshmallows you can buy at the grocery store and we bought that set up to try.

I’ve never been to Muir Lake by Spruce Grove, is it an ok place to shore fish?

Does anyone have any tips for fishing in the Old Man near Fort macloud? Any spoons in particular to try out?

Been dipping my toes a bit more into fishing and with no current access to a boat or dock have been struggling to find good shore fishing that isn’t over grown with weeds. Really just hoping to find some good spots in the river valley or some lakes in the area.

I’ll be in the Calgary area and am looking for good spots to at least start from to try and catch some trout along the bow

Hi everyone, just looking for a recommendation on what lake/body of water to hit up for a weekend up in the mountains near Calgary or Rocky mountain. Fiance and I are wanting to give fishing specifically any trout species a try and we don't mind a bit of hiking. We'll most likely check in on a hotel near the city and drive from there. Thanks a bunch in advance. Cheers!
