Shore fishing? Athabasca area?

[fisherkarin]

Hello Everyone :D I'm without a boat this year and just wondering if anyone knows if you can shore fish on Cross, Long, Narrow and Baptiste Lakes? I'd even like to try Hope, Amisk & North Buck. Any info would be greatly appreciated! Tight lines all!! :character0175:

Only one I could help you on is Amisk. Lots of good places to shore fish on this lake. Its a very long narrow lake so most of the good fishing is accessible. Try fishing around the docks if your looking for perch or pike. I would use either a slip bobber with a jig head tipped with maggots or a small lindy snag proof bottom bouncer on the main line and a 1.5' secondary line coming off the bottom bouncer with just a hook and your favorite grub. The bottom bouncer will help you get out a little further and the slip bobber would be good for fishing off the docks. Good luck!

With hip or chest waders you should be able to fish almost any lake.... Atleast early in the season until the weeds come up and take over.
