Default kananaskis Lakes

Looking to spend maybe saturday with my family at kananaskis lakes...but I haven't been there before (New Calgarian). Of course fly fishing is in the "to do" list....Someone know what the conditions are now either the upper or lower? is good to go fishing? what's the best one? upper? lower?....I hope the ice fishing season is done there.

Go to the interlakes and there should be open water, big streamers for bullies, leaches and or chromis under indicators for cutties.

Yes the area where water comes from the upper to the lower through the turbines is called the interlakes since 1955 when they built the Interlakes Powergeneration plant.
