Default Rock Lake(near jasper)

Hey guys and gals, just was wondering if anyone had any updates on the lake....I've never been there and was going to plan a trip next weekend and just wondering if anyone had any tips or tricks for the lake. I'm not asking for anyone's honey hole just some info on the lake.

Syclops spoons in silver! I'd recommend C&R the lakers in there, they're slow growing for sure, and all the bows there are C&R because they're athabows. Having said that, there are really nice pike and whites in that lake! And if you catch a brookie... Mmmm if you're a fly fisherman, full sink line and some streamers will get the job done.

Dove up there two years back. Had the lake to my self.
Lots of fish in the sonar coming up to my spoons on the down riggers then going back down.Just not bitting that day. No bait allowed . Lake is Crystal clear as you can see the mountain walls go deep into the water. Its breath taking for sure !
Free fire wood back then .

Enjoy and let use know how you made out

Streamers like 4-1/0. Doesn't need to be massive for lakers, but for pike go big as you can.

Don't buy the weight. Likely only 16.75 lbs.



Just kidding. Nice feast there.
