Yeah you could do Chester-slough. Its fairly good for Pike. Its better in the spring though. Glenmore is good too, I fished it and did well for Jack there as well. Try the Clackin Rap by Rapala, you will clean up. Go perch pattern !!!!!

Hey Taya, im not too sure why they named it after something that sounds creepy, but I do know that it once was an awesome fishery back in the “Good ol’ Days”

Hey Stacey, I would suggest fishing Mcgregor Lake for Walleye. It’s south on Highway 2 then left towards the town of Milo.

Lake Newell is also a good bet this time of year, its very near the town of Bassano.

You could also try Travers as there are some monsters in that Reservoir.

Hope that helps you plan your trip,

~Mike.

Hello Dave, welcome to Calgary! Sorry it has taken me so long to respond to your question, I have been very busy as of late.

I figure the river will be fish-able in late June, I watch the river to see how clear the water is looking. If it looks like chocolate milk it’s not fish-able, if it looks fairly clean than you can try your luck. Just keep an eye on it Dave.

Thanks for your comment and hopefully you get to fish soon. If you want to float this summer see my “Guided Fishing Trips” Page on the blog for more info and rates.

Hope to see your comments and questions again,

~Mike.

Thanks for the comment Blair, sounds like you had some good action. I am glad to hear you hooked your first Bow River trout. Plugs work awesome for me when I fish the Bow.

We will have to hook up and do some fishing this summer as spring is almost gone.
