As mentioned, the Bow is a fantastic fishery. There are a lot of good trout lakes in Kananaskis, and there are lakes going the other direction that have good pike and walleye fishing.

Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on how you look at it, a lot of the fishing opportunities in the area are catch and release only, so if you wanted to catch your dinner, you might be disappointed.

C & R is totally ok for me..Just checked the Ifish website, there are lots of stocking pond but barely a decent lake for wallies, pikes and perch like what around Edmonton. Anyone could give a example about a lk within 100km distance that good wallie fishery? thanks! I love wallie fishing.

Pine Coulee Reservoir.

Non-stop walleye action and pike.
give or take 100km from calgary.

if you increase the range to ~150km there are several better options.

lots of nice trout to be caught chucking tackle and flies in town though......once the water calms down a bit
