Im planning on doing some Fishing and canoeing on the NSR between Rocky and Drayton this Spring/Summer Im just wondering what type of fish i should concentrate on is there many Walleye this far Upstream or should i Bring the Fly Gear and go after some trout?

We fish this section of the river often. Lots of Walleye, Browns, and Rockies. Definately take your spinning gear.

Lots of Gold Eye through there as well.

If you use fast sinking line and a long leader with a lead head streamer of some kind in the deep holes there are huge bull trout. We've caught dozens of bullies close to ten pounds out of there. Thats upstream from rocky though.

Since there is a Bait ban there whats the best bet for catching some walleye out of there? just spoons and Crankbaits?

We use spoons and jigs for the walleye. Last year my wife caught two nice walleye and a nice brown in the same hole on the same Len Tompson yellow/red 5 of diamonds in about 6 casts. The rockies like a bead head nymph along the bottom
