Barry mitchels guide and a central Alberta backroads MacBook are essential imo, as far as specific bodies of water up there, there’s lots you can fish up there, that is the way I’d did years ago before the internet was what is today, I find the pike hammer a lot harder up north compared to down south here where I’m at, gonna go to Keho right now, don’t expect many to spill the beans on particular bodies of water though.
Hope that helps
