Fernie on the fly

[kissarmygeneral]

A few buddies and I are heading out to Fernie for the weekend, I know the Elk is close to angling right now but I have no idea about anywhere else around there. Any suggestions on where to go or if anything in the area is open?

Really, I thought it was currently open?! Or am I reading the regs wrong... Just says "bait ban" between June 15 - Oct 31, nothing about it being closed?!

Hit Surveyors Lake for bass if its open.

This is the site I found the information, says closed until june 15. It's not the official reg site but I figure these dudes probably know best. :mad0100:

All flowing waters are closed in Region 4 until June 15. It is stated in the region wide regulations.

[ÜberFly]

Righto!

NO FISHING: in any stream in Region
4 from Apr. 1 to June 14 (see tables for
additional closed times or exceptions).

Thanks!
