James Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Any one fish Wabamun lake this winter for pike? I was thinking of giving it a try for the first time. Also directions to where the water open would also be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratch Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 The lake has really changed this season. Modifications to the outflow by Trans-Alta have drastically changed the outflow parameters, resulting in much higher flows, and turbidity. That said - the water is still fishable - just with reduced likelyhood of hookups. Take the main road into Wab from the highway. At the 4 way stop (with the docks straight ahead, turn right. Exit town to the west, and before you cross the outflow next to the power plant, pull off the road near the green gate. DO NOT BLOCK THE GATE. Hop the fence (at your own risk) cross the tracks (AT YOUR OWN RISK) and follow the fenceline to the water. Good luck!

James Posted February 21, 2007 Author Share Posted February 21, 2007 Anyone "legal ways" of fly fishing there in the winter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratch Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Only if you can walk on water... which isn't recommended. The only open water is at the outflow from the power plant - and there really isn't much way to access it. Transalta tends to turn a blind eye if you are respectful of their fences on the way in. There are plenty of game trails on the way in. /scratch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
