Hank Peters Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 Driving my daughter to Canmore for a course she's taking on Friday and am wondering if anybody will be in the area, fishing? I'll be there from about 9:00-6:00. If not I would appreciate any input on some good rivers or streams in the area that would be relatively easy to get to. The Bow would be obvious but I'm not familiar with the area as to productive spots and how to get to them. Any info would be appreciated. Hank Quote
SilverHilton Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 Hank, I would probably start with Wedge Pond for some Greyling in the morning, then move to the Upper Bow in the afternoon for some Whitefish and Trout. Don't worry about the 'productive spots' on the Bow. There is plenty of access and finding fishy water is not that difficult up there. Also, you could call the guys at Fish Tales in Calgary ... they might have some small stream info for you. Kind regards, Robin Quote
Hank Peters Posted September 20, 2006 Author Posted September 20, 2006 Thanks,Robin By the way, I'm not taking a tube, so can Wedge Pond be shore fished? Hank Quote
BlaenBlack Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 Just outside Canmore on Highway 1A heading towards Exshaw there’s a small stocked lake called Grotto Mountain Pond. Drive into the parking lot fish from shore on either side of the parking lot i.e. off the highway or opposite shore. The lake is generally shallow but drops off sharply at both sides. Fishing is usually very good in the summer months. http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=Gro...2,0.048065&om=1 Quote
Mad Fisher Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 Wedge pond is pretty small so you can get away without using a tube or anything. I have always had fun fishing there. In the summer I just bobber fish with a prince or other nymph on the end and sit and enjoy the scenery. I haven't been there for a couple of years so I do not what it is like now..... Aaron Quote
pacres Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 Wedge is a nice spot. I went earlier this year. The grayling in there are nice and big. I was using chironomids, and it worked well. Quote
SilverHilton Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 So Hank, Where did you go and how did you make out? Kind regards, Robin Quote
