Sandy Beach and area??

Im looking for a hand from those of you who know the area. I am heading from Edmonton to Sandy Beach Sunday to pick up the girl from Brownies camp. I have the two little ones along with me and would like to stop somewhere for two hours of catch and release fishing, maybe for perch.
Is there a lake that I can get access to with all this snow? I have a 4x4. I honestly dont even know what lake Sandy Beach is on or what nearby.
I usually go NE to Bellis, Mons, etc and dont know the area NW of the city.
Any advice would be appreciated. I have the trip to make and wonder if there is somewhere to stop to wet a line.
Thanks.
kidd.

devils lake is 30kms from st. albert, and cloer yet to sandy beach, never fished it though

lakerman, Ive never tried it either. Have to dig out my Alberta fishing guide and check on it. I wonder what morinville reservoir is like? We caught a few little perch there last year. Its on the way too...all I want is the kids to hold a fish or two and let it go.
