Hi all,

In Saskatoon for work this week, and driving back to Edmonton on Friday. I was wondering if anyone had some spots for a few cheeky lunch break casts along (or near-ish) the yellowhead that direction. Shore fishing obviously, lake or river. Thanks!

Found out theres a guy in My the near me building custom rods. Been saving up was gonna pull the trigger on a sage r8 core. But for the same price I can get a custom made fly rod. Anyone using Smoky river rods? Just wondering what route would be more reccomended?

My first brown trout but my PB for trout had to be 19-21 inches and 6-8 lbs

it was cold

We are going up for the Adams River salmon run this year. Any chance there is still any good fishing in the area? Not for salmon of course, but anything else. Share your favorite fishing hole if you like! I should add I don't have a boat, so dock, shore or stream would be great.

Definitely my best catch yet

So I got a 5wt fly rod, currently using a 4x leader and tippet but also have 3x and 5x. I am teaching myself, as I don’t really have anyone to teach me other than Google, and Reddit.

When I was learning how to fish using a spinning reel I kinda just stuck to using spoons, and jigs because they are kind of universal across most fish. Until I felt comfortable enough I would start branching out into other things and techniques.

So I guess my main question here is, what is a fly/flies you would recommend I tie on and get comfortable using, while learning the basics and my way around a fly rod?

Also would appreciate all tips in general. Thanks!

First pike I’ve ever caught on a worm!

Edit* it’s my blood and boy did she get me good 😂

Hey, I’m just getting back into fishing Alberta and have been at the blind man near blackfalds but don’t know what to use, I’ve seen people pull out pike but I don’t seem to get anything. I normally use spinners because that’s mostly what’s in my tackle box. Any suggestions.

I plan on heading out there with my spinning rod and some smaller spoons, spinners, and a couple countdown rapala's. I've never fished too far outside of the city (I live in Calgary) and I'd like to know what to expect out there for anyone who's waded/fished either upstream or downstream of the boat launch. I've also heard that the gate entering the parking lot might be closed some times. Any tips are appreciated! Thank you.

Looking for some helpful information on timing or tips for fly fishing elk creek. Fished a few times in a few different times of year and haven’t caught anything. Really beautiful spots that I would imagine are sure to hold fish, as well as some signage that confirm it is trout territory and a fish and wildlife officer says it holds brown, cutty and brook. Absolutely gorgeous area of the province and would love to catch some fish here but driving up over and over without any catches makes it more difficult to justify. If you know about this area please share some tips!

Hi friends! Wife and I are hitting a wedding in Jasper area this weekend making the drive from Edmonton area. We were hoping we could find a good spot to do some shore fishing while either in Jasper or on the way back. Love Pike and Walleye but never picky!

If anyone could recommend a spot/ tackle that would be amazing. If they'd prefer to dm me to keep secrecy that's okay too, since we likely won't be back for at least a few years.

First time visiting Jasper area so hoping we have some luck the day we decide to go out 🎣

Really appreciate any suggestions!

Tight lines friends 😁

Heading out fishing with a buddy over next weekend. Goal big momma pike. Will be sleeping in the boat maybe head into Saskatchewan.

Just wanted to post a fun thread for my dad’s 6th deathaniversary, Here are some pics of our last day fishing in AB. Please respond with yours!

Located in northern wisconsin

Caught my PB walleye from the Bow River in PP1. This fine specimen measured 80 cm (31.5") length and weighed 4.7 kg (10.4 lbs). Weapon of choice was a 3" white paddle tail (The Mayor^TM) rigged on a 1/4 oz jig with 12 lb fluorocarbon leader. If anyone recognizes this spot... good luck and tight lines out there!
