Default Fly Fishing Near or in Medicine Hat

Hello, I was wondering if there are any fly shops in medicine hat or do they have fly fishing clubs.

One other thing I wanted to touch on was fly fishing the south sask river for goldeye. And if anyone knows any good spots and or flies to use.

Thanks.

Hi Pondfisher, Medicine Hat does have a club, it's the "Medicine Hat Fish
& Game Association". Here's a link http://www.mhfishandgame.com/

As far as fly shops, that's a no go. We have a local store called the Outdoorsman, but their supplies are limited when it comes to fly fishing.

I've never fly fished for goldeye on the SSR, but I've caught them using other methods on just about every accessible point along the river.

You can definitely catch gold eye on a fly rig.

Check out the trout waters in the cypress hills. They should provide you with some decent action. You can also check out bullshead, cavan, and michelle I think is the other one out there. If you are looking for flowing trout waters on the Alberta side out your way, head over to battle creek and check things out. From what I have been told is that it can be hit or miss but the few times I have been there it has been a good time.
