Hey guys, don't normally do this but I have a good handle of the southern lake around Calgary...one of my fishing buddies took a job in Edmonton so we'd like to fish around Edmonton some weekends as well. The problem is that we know nothing around the area expect for places like Calling, Pigeon, South Buck, Lac La Biche, etc. Those are all huge lakes, so we don't really know what we are doing.
If anyone wants to share some info on where to start, you can do so by PM if you don't want to post here. I promise to keep the info personal.
We hear Calling is good but probably not worth it this time of year because of the access on the lake is near impossible, so we'll try that in the summer. Lac la Biche is maybe too far, so maybe not that so much. I here lots of good things about Pigeon, except you can't keep nothing out of it this time of year and I don't know about the pike fishing there and we're not too keen on it coming from Sask. It's a big lake too and I'm sure only some of you know where the good spots are, and not willing to share (I don't blame you).
We're thinking of trying South Buck Lake...anyone go there? How has the fishing been and where do we get on the lake? We'd like to target Walleye so I hope that narrows it down.
Also open to other places too if it's within 1.5 hours and has decent fishing for Walleye, trout or perch. Thanks to everyone in advance for sharing and remember not looking for exact locations, just general areas. We have lots of fishing experience but it's nice to have a starting point on these big lakes.
Thanks.
