Ice-fishing near Calgary?
I was wondering if anybody could give me some tips on good places to go ice-fishing near Calgary? I live in the far south of Calgary and looking for good places within 1 hour drive or less. I am new to the area so don't really know where to go.
I'm not too picky on the kind of fish. Wouldn't mind a place where the fishing is reasonably good, as I would like to take my kid.
Any help anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated!
Boba.

- Pine Coulee(W of Stavely)- pike, walleye, ling
- MacGregor (W and S of Milo)- pike, walleye, ling, whitefish
- Travers(E of Champion)- pike, walleye, ling, whitefish, perch
- Badger(E of Lomond)- pike, whitefish, have also seen a few walleye, perch, etc
- Chain Lakes (S of Longview, W of Nanton)- stocked rainbows, suckers
- Crawling Valley (NW of Bassano)- pike, walleye, whitefish, ling, perch
- Twin Valley (W of Champion OR NE of Stavely)- pike, not sure of other species...
- Plus many more...
Probably missing a species or two on a couple of the reservoirs, but they pretty much all hold the same kinds of fish. Just check the regs and it usually gives you a good idea of what each lake holds. And grab your self a bathymetric map from the SRD website and away you go!

Good luck!
