I was actually did a little scouting trip along that portion of the trunk road yesterday.
Clearwater River and Prairie Creek are wide open and fishable
Elk Creek was fishable close to the mouth, further upstream was still iced/snowed over
Brown Creek where the trunk road crosses is was open water but ice around the edges, would be hard to fish unless you wade. Crystal clear water though.
the rest of the creeks I checked out were iced over/not open to fishing until June 16 (ie Blackstone, North/South ram and tribs).
I would wait a couple of days at least though, on my drive through that portion of the trunk road yesterday it was absolutely blizzarding for about a 20km stretch. Good 3 inches of snow on the road and below zero temps. I already put my summer tires on my jeep and I was a little scared haha. Decided not to turn back and it got better closer to Nordegg, road was wet but snow free.
