Willey
I'd like to start by saying I can't remember if I introduced myself and can't figure out how to read my old posts.
Hi, I'm Ed and I'm a fishoholic. As is my wife. We moved here back in November. And Albertas fishing regulation book drives us both nuts.
Today we burned up darn near a tank of gas, trying to find (in vain) a little fishing hole close to home (Lodgepole). First and obvious choice was was the reservoir and canal. No dice. The roads was blocked as we approached the end of powerhouse and same thing when we drove out and around. So I wet a line under the bridge, various lures/depths. Nothing.
Broke out the handy backroad map book and found ourselves heading to Alder flats, to fish a little creek or 2 that opened (I hope) April 1st. We toured that area. Hard. Spent hours on the back roads. Everything was chocolate milk and I'm not sure why we didn't stop the hunt, but we didn't.
Fast forward to an hour ago, we find ourselves shore fishing the N.S.R. At Willey West Campground. Not even a sniff, but I'm alright with that. That's fishing.
I'm hoping someone knows, and out of the kindness of their heart, will tell me, what can I expect to possibly catch while shore fishing the N.S.R. at Willey West.
Side note - the wife needs the vehicle for work tomorrow, but I can get a lift to wherever you're launching, should you need an experienced net man.
Thanks for reading!
