Default “Warm water” Fishing and Camping

Hello everyone,

Looking to go shore fishing and camping except instead of heading to the mountains to chase trout, would like to try for goldeye, mooneye, walleye, carp (like in Manitoba). NSR and Red Deer Rivers?

Is that possible here and does anyone have some suggestions for campgrounds?

Thanks in advance.

Trenville, Mckenzie crossing, Tolman bridge are all on the red deer river. Should keep pretty busy with goldeneye at of those places.
Or canoe from one down to the next.

Default Carp

The only carp in Alberta are the Prussians and they dont get very big. you will catch some huge suckers that fight almost as well though. I wish they hit 30 plus pounds like the common carp. those you will have to catch in BC or Sask

I thought there are pockets of grass carp in Southern Alberta where they were introduced by the government as far back as the 80's...

Edit - Found it. Check this PDF out.
