I'm still quite new to this so I'm not really sure what else is an option in the smaller lakes. I'm thinking down in the Crowsnest somewhere. Thanks, Naomi Hey Mike,

I take it you are set on some lakes around Calgary so I have a few ideas in mind for you. Thanks for the question, ~Mike.

I would like to go somewhere within 3 hours or so from Calgary where we can pitch a tent by a lake and pontoon around during the day. There's nothing better than a quiet, private lake and some good fishing. Where might you suggest? Thanks, Naomi Hi Mike,

I have kids also and I know how impatient they can be some days. If you want to fish for Walleye and pike I would try Mcgregor lake, great fishery and usually has good action. It also holds lake white fish so if the pike and walleye are slow you can try for whitefish. Eagle lake in Strathmore is also a good place to try, walleye and pike here as well. I have had good luck ice fishing here. Believe it or not another place you could go is Glenmore Reservoir, some monster rainbows have been caught through the ice here. Also has the odd big brown and is usually good for pike fishing as well. If you want to head a little out of town then Spray Lakes is a good bet for Lake Trout, I have personally fished here many times and I usually catch a bunch. Its a deep lake so make sure you have at least 100 yards of line on your reel. You can also head up to Upper Kananaskis Lake to try for rainbows or you may even hook a decent Bull Trout. So there are some options for you to try, keep me posted as to where you went and what you caught. Thanks, ~Mike.

I was exploring the area about 15km under the falls and found great looking water. I fished it all day using a small assortment of wet nymphs as well as my dry stuff and didn't catch anything. Not only that but I didn't see one fish. Wondering where you recommend to fish and what should be used from now until the winter? Hey Mike,

Fishing close to Calgary includes lakes like Newell, Mcgregor Lake, Pine Coulee and many others close to Calgary. A good idea is to get a Barry Mitchell's Alberta Fishing Guide as it lists all lakes close to Calgary to camp and fish. It also lets you know if motors are allowed on specific bodies of water. Hope you find a good spot to fish and camp, Good luck,| ~Mike. May long is always iffy for camping, I don’t like snow when I camp !!!

I just bought a fishing boat and would like to know where's the best place where its not frozen over and where motor boats are allowed, not too far from Calgary. Also any tips on bait or lures used for these places would be great. I would also like to know where I could find a place over the May long weekend.
