The river is closed but (check the regs to be sure) the stocked ponds are usually open all year round.

There were a bunch of people fishing down there the other day. But that doesn't necessarily mean its open haha

River is closed, the pond at the dog park is open year round its not listed in the regs.

i was told the same thing about red deer f&w they say that bower ponds and three mile bend are both now classified differently now because of the flood in 2005 dumping all the other fish into them and they are no longer stocked with trout.
