View Full Version : Got a date, and a canoe plus gear, now what
So this girl I know has been buggin me for quite awhile to take her fishing with me. And she's probably about an 8 outta 10, so I kinda want to impress a little. But I've been in manitoba all summer and haven't fished Alberta really at all this year. So what's a good spot that's happening right now? I don't care what kind of fish just as long as we get some, and I got a canoe so a lake that's not super windy on average would have to almost be a must with girls on board. oh and did I mention she wants to go TOMORROW, help me out here guys, I was thinking pine coulee but I got skunked there last time I went and, it's not very senic.

If you're in Calgary now, why don't you try spray lakes or something south of Canmore. Pretty easy to catch fish and doesn't get that windy. Pretty nice scenery too so you will probably slay after the fishing.
Ya I am in calgs. Spray is a beauty spot but ive never even caught a cold out there Before

definatly head up to k country pick up some little mepps spinners and hit pretty much any of the trout lakes up there. theres nothing like the mountains to get a girl in the out-doors-y mood.
x2 on the peach shnapps.
patron is quicker though,

If you got skunked on pine coulee, your in trouble. :sHa_sarcasticlol:
To be fair I was ice fishing at pine coulee.
what about dickson trout pond? you could paddle to the other side were
no one goes hardly at all.
should be able to get a few bows out of there.

You don't want to get skunked, but I'm not talking about fish. Pick a pretty, scenic place first of all. Then think about somewhere nearby to have a nice romantic dinner at afterwards. I'd lean towards the Banff/Canmore area if I were you. THEN think of a place where she can get a fish, and you can profusely compliment her.
Coulee

Listen to Coulee, I have a lot of experience with 8/10's. Hey, if you can do it it's not bragging. Anyway, take her to Bear Pond in South K-Country for Arctic Grayling. Beautiful drive, gorgeous little lake and exotic fish. Catch them on small spinners, dry flies, steamers and nymphs. She will have to help you carry the canoe up the hill from the parking lot, but you'll find out what she's made of. And hopefully there's a little spice mixed in with all that sugar. Good luck.

are you kidding? spray is one of the worst lakes for wind. every afternoon. its good in the morning and every afternoon the wind will kick up especially on the middle section of the lake.

bear pond winter killed and they were not prepared to stock it this year. I am not sure if that changed and a stocking happened but i definitely hadnt heard that they did. And have heard no fishing reports from bear the entire summer other than the winterkill reports

I think your missing the point here Braun... Is this really about fishing here...??

I think your missing the point here Braun... Is this really about fishing here...??
kind of. he said he wanted to be able to catch a fish. i agree the mountains is definitely the place to go because even if you dont catch a fish you will have lots of fun and amazing scenery. but he did mention he wanted to catch fish as well. Maybe she has never caught one before and wants to share that experience with him. who knows. If i were you I would goto the upper k. If the water is calm the entire lake is accessible. if it is windy, the wind always comes from the same direction and there is a shoreline that shelters part of the lake from the wind even on the windiest days. I have always wanted to try to fish there because i bet the fish stack up on the break of the point and wait for bait to be blown by with the current. see the attached google map

im not trying to be a downer with my comments or anything. ive been in his situation. if i am planning something for someone I am a perfectionist. My ex loved that but at the same time hated me fore it because if one little thing didnt happen I`d be a little irked by it because in my mind if it wasnt perfect, it wasn`t right. I dont like factors other than ones caused by myself to stand in my way. So i try to plan for all possible scenarios.

I can see how a little bit of wind bothers you...probably messes up your hair so you don't look as pretty for your boyfriend. The lake is so small that you're never bouncing around in waves or anything. If a little wind does bother you, drive 5 minutes north and fish a smaller body of water protected from the wind.

It's just his way of saying he's attracted to her and would like this to be a bit more than just "taking a friend fishing".
And his asking here reveals that he's not used to dating 8 out of 10"s. :sHa_shakeshout: LOL Sorry, just couldn't resist.
Piece of advice... think of any girl you are out with as a 10 out of 10.

lol nice. but my ex can attest that we have had 2 days where we were almost capsized in those waves. spray lakes is narrow but it runs the same direction as the wind blows on that lake and with the length, by the time it hits the bend it can make some pretty nasty swells. remember he is in a canoe not a 18 footer like you probably fish from. But nice try to make me look like a girl. speaks alot for your character and maturity. A true keyboard warrior.
Ps I did recommend a lake and even offered him a map of some protected waters that he can fish from if winds are blowin. spray can be calm but more often than not winds pick up and most people who ice fishes spray can attest that the winds at spray if there is any are more than just "a little bit of wind"

I figure she gets an extra two points for wanting to get out fishing . . . that makes her a 10 and they aren't easy to come by!
But I've been in manitoba all summer and haven't fished Alberta really at all this year. So what's a good spot that's happening right now? I don't care what kind of fish just as long as we get some, and I got a canoe so a lake that's not super windy on average would have to almost be a must with girls on board. oh and did I mention she wants to go TOMORROW, help me out here guys, I was thinking pine coulee but I got skunked there last time I went and, it's not very senic.
How about a nice little trout lake? In the mountains (kinda), not too far from Calgary, scenic and nice to paddle around in? Beaver Lake by Caroline sounds like a great date to this girl. :) It might be a bit of work to entice them at this time of year, but the overall experience would be much more enjoyable than PCR.

If so on a good day the bow river is the best trout stream in North America.
With the Boy scouts an me in the canoe we caught 33 between Hwy 22 and policeman's flats in a couple of hours. The water was gin clear and we could eddy out in the middle of the river where the drift boats couldn't stop.
A mepps spinner and the right day is all you need,
Have fun.

Should we be getting worried about him now? An 8 outta 10 single must have something wrong with her. "she has been bugging me to take her fishing" that kind of reminds me of a perv saying wanna come to my van and see my puppies!
My guess is she cut em up and used him for bait.
Ok guys, we went to kananskis lakes, lots of scenery and wildelife and ****, and the top one was pretty windy, so we hit the bottom one, and we paddled all around that one for a while, and I tried every damn thing in my box and not even a bite, never even seen one fish rise to the surface either, then it got windy so we paddled back, and right when we got close to where we put it the wind died, so we stayed out a while longer
Then we hit wedge pond, and we atleast seen fish there, and the minnows would swarm whatever you were using when it was in the shallows, but still no bites, so now I have to take her out again somewhere where there is fish that are actually Hungary,
Thanks for all your help, some of you are pretty helpful and some of you guys are pretty funny. no I never let her see my phone, or told her about this site, and I definantly don't drive a raper van. We had a pretty good time, Oh and the best part of the day was when she got too hot and took of her pants and put these little booty shorts on
