small brown jig or worm on a bare jig head always seems to work for me out there. Havent fished it in a month or two though. Cant remember the last time i went and got skunked in a day. Usually pretty good

If you have a boat, troll with yellow wardens rooster tail spinners. Yellow flatfish work good too. Best times to troll are in the evening. Garlic marshmellows/worms work good on pickerel rigs if you bait fish from shore. Also if you are using just spinning equipment try a casting bubble with a mosquito/random brown dry fly and cast and retrieve from shore when they are surfacing.

I think Mulestalker nailed it, its pretty damn close to an hour and 10 mins from Drum. Heading there myself this weekend. Hopefully the fishing will be good. Bring the fly rod and the ultra lite, hopefully figure out what they are after.

You bet, let me know how you do. Gonna be fishing at Blood Indian and Carolside.

If your fishing from shore! South end on the rocks its deep. Use Green giant corn! and a bobber or sinker.

If trolling Wedding band and worm.

I caught a 4 lb rainbow there 1 month ago. Btw the lake Turns on at 5:30am and Turns off at 9am. The nothing then 7 PM the fish come up till about 10 pm.

Good luck.

we did really well in the a.m as well as the p.m, all together i caught about 30 fish ....we float trolled the whole lake once on a pontoon boat but only snagged 1 doing that. all in all it was a great time even tho we were catching just little guys, thanks for all the info and tips everyone i considered it to be a successful trip. how was carolside Chris? i have yet to make it out anywhere pike fishing around here but love catching them

Carolside was slow. It was the slowest I had ever seen there. Water levels were down and this whole year the water has had terrible visiblity. We did not too bad at Blood Indian, was surprised that the spin cast out did the fly fishing.

Glad to hear you did well there, its a nice place and the fishing isn't too bad. I'll be going back there again.

Chris

yeah hope you have better luck next time at carolside ive heard great stories but every body of water has its slow days no way around it haha....where are you from Chris. have you ever fished the rd river when its muddy? I had a great time last fall when it was nice and clear but was skunked 3 times this year because of merk im thinkin. Hope theres a way around this for next year!

Chris84 · #15 09-08-2011, 06:58 AM

Im from Calgary, but I fish Carolside often. I haven't tried the Red Deer this year. In fact all Ive ever tried out there was at the Morrin Bridge and caught Goldeye. It is very muddy this year, so is Carolside. This past weekend you couldn't see deeper than 18", it was brutal.
