Default Caroline Stream Fishing?

I'm going to Rocky Mountain House/ Caroline area Fly fishing some of the small lakes on a camping trip for a couple of weeks. I was wondering what streams we could try fishing in the area? I know there is the Raven and Stauffer which sound difficult to fish... We mostly fish lakes but would like to try stream fishing as a new experience. We have the Alberta Backroads map on my GPS. Any recommendations, advice, etc would be helpful and welcome. Stay away from bears with cubs yes... carry bear spray yes...

I enjoy fishing the red deer river between Sundre and Glennifer lake. Bulls, browns and brookies. Where other rivers enter the Red Deer river is usually good. Where the James river or the Raven enter the red deer are only a 10 or so minute walk from where you can park.

I will give that spot a try. From the Google map it looks like there's a spot to park right at the turn off to Alford Lake.Thanks

Is the James good fishing from the Cowboy Trail to the Red Deer?

It seems most of the land is private from the 22 bridge down to the Red Deer river. I usually park at the end of TWP road 342 and walk the short distance.

If you are going to try the Clearwater, I park at the Cheddarville rec area and fish that area.

The Snakehead rec area of the Red Deer river requires some walking but can have a few good holes too.
