Steven Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I was planning on going fishing this week but not sure wear might be a good place to try . I've been hearing lots of mixed reports on lots of the pot hole trout lakes west of edmonton being winterkilled and don't know what to believe. So if anyone has any knowledge or suggestions it would be much appreciated. Cheers Steven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A buddy of mine has been fishing Mitchell and a couple of others in that neighbourhood for the last week with good success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junior Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Steven, don't believe evrything you hear. Every year some folks ring a bunch of alarm bells that the trout lakes have winterkilled. Then we go fishing and find out they were wrong. A couple dead fish near shore does not constitute a winterkilled lake. I'm getting ready for my wedding, so I haven't had a chance to check it out, but I'm sure that Star, East Pit, and Muir are fine. Even in the worst winterkill years, those lakes have good survival rates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vince Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Junior "I'm getting ready for my wedding so I haven't had a chance to check it out." Where, oh where, are your priorities? When is the big day buddy? Vince Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junior Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 The 22nd, this Sunday. Then off to Haida Gwaii for two weeks. I can't wait to try beach fishing. I've spoken with a couple guides and shop owners out that way, and they say I have chosen a great time and place for sea-run cutties. I still need to tie a bunch of flies on stainless hooks, and I was thinking this would be the perfect chance to really give tube flies a go. Fortunately, I just received a care package from Stu Thompson with a few dozen DDH Leeches tied on stainless, so that's a big help. How's that for honeymoon planning? I think my priorities are lined up okay. I've been getting ready for a wedding. What's your excuse, buddy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave robinson Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 My suggestion for your beach fishing is to tie up some very sparse clousers in chartreuse and white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
