Fishing Millers Lake

[Bobby B.]

I've heard this is a great spot for a new fisherman to try. I'll be in a canoe.
Anyone fish this lake? What fish and what size can be expected?

I grew up on that lake. My parents have an acerage out there. It was a good place to fish 20 years ago and apparently, its alot better now. Alberta stillwaters and Docs house of blog has a couple good write ups on Millers.
