I lived in Calgary for more that twenty years, from 1979 to 2001. I loved being able to walk down to the river(s) with my fishing pole and catch trout and whitefish. Even caught a pike once. Anyway. One February, when the weather was warm and chinooky, I watched my buddy pull a really dark rainbow trout - maybe 15" long - out of the water on the south end of town. He was using a small Panther Martin, retrieving it very slowly....No reason that you couldn't do the same with, say, a zonker. Give it a try! Don't fall in.
