Does anyone know where to fish near Edmonton or Sherwood Park?
Moved from calgary and have no idea where to fish near Edmonton. Any info would be very appreciated.
I do not have a boat and use a spin cast rod. I made a list of lakes near me. Are any of them worth trying? Ashland lake Brodick Lake Cardiff park Chickakoo lake Coal lake South East pit lake Jack Fish lake Lac St. Anne Lamont pond Muir wabbmin Wizard Lake Thanks |
First of all, make sure you pick up a fishing license and regs book. lots of those lakes don't open until may 20th.
As far as which are worth fishing, I would say all of them are a worth a shot. It really depends on what species and size of fish you want. |
Lamont pond is very hard to fish. Rather mature deep pond with lots of natural food its pretty hard to entice one of those rainbows.

I see you are in sherwood park and are willing t drive across edmonton foe your fishing needs.a couple of closer suggestions would be the river or even hermitage park just north of the yellowhead off of victoria trail. you can actually park at hermitage and fish the pond and the river from there . i think it winterkilled ,but when it is stocked it is pretty good. beaumont pond i hear is good as well. when you do check out cardiff you may want to stop at the morinville res as well.and if you are in st. alberta you can go to lacombe park for some rainbows and carp (koi) if they survived. if you go to chickakoo ,sauer lake is right there as well and is worthy of getting your line wet. sorry for the lack of capitals and proper paragraphs ,but i am using my phone an have no idea how to use it. east pit is pretty good from what i hear,but it is also a little far out there. if you only have a couple of hours to fish you should be ok at hermitage, beaumont or the river. if you have lots of time try to hit up a few lakes that are close to each other,maybe start at eastpit and work your way back to sauer,chickakoo,muir lacombe morinville,cardiff,hermitage,nsr. i hope that helps you.

I did the oppisite as you came from edmonton to calgary. When i lived up there i went to Jackfish lake alot. But there was no development at the time:angry3:. The river has always been good to me.

Wizard Lake is a lot of fun. Best with a boat or pontoon boat in the shallows though. Tons of smaller Jacks and the odd Ling. Hasse has some decent fishing for Rainbows and Jacks. Chicakoo has tons of tiny trout.

Any of the stocked ponds will be good for 6" trout. Wabamun is always good. If you dont have a boat you can shore fish from the end of the canels just west of town. |

You don't know that has lake has winterkilled just because you catch nothing. At Tfh , they told me that fish and wildlife checked the lake awhile ago and it was fine

I fished Hasse from a boat and nothing marked on the sonar either. Went out by the island where last year 10 fish chased your hook every cast, this year, nothing. There were dead fish around shore too. It may not be 100% dead but I won't be wasting my time there any more. Theres other places to go for pinky length perch. The trout are almost done there as well.
|
I love Hasse though because you can sit on the dock and catch quit a few perch, small but still fun to catch. Its close to me as I live in Spruce Grove. Know any lakes close by that you can catch perch from shore , or one that has a dock?
|
The canals at wab are good shore fishing. Nay not get perch but there are pike there. Once stocked you can get Brook trout at Chickakoo. Star is supposed to be good from shore as well.
Can't think of any good perch shorefishing lakes though. The was Morrinville but rumor has it that it killed as well. |
how do u get to the Canals at Wab?
|
Look up on google maps. They are just west of town off of the main lake drive. There is on on either side of the powerplant. I've seen lots of people catch fish on the one further west. Take the SV of Point Allison turn and park in the open field just after the train tracks. It's a bit of a hike but worth it.
Also, not open until Friday May 20. |
