Hello,
I have next to no fishing experience, but have been hunting for the past six years. I would really like to be able to take my son and daughter to a SW Alberta lake this summer, catch and cook a fish on the shore. (This may stem from one too many hunting videos where the host stops at a high elevation lake, catches a fish and cooks supper...seems like an amazing experience!)
Could you please provide advice on:
1) What is the most prolific or easiest fish to catch from shore in mountain lakes?
2) Recommend a lightweight / simple spin cast rod setup that can collapse into a backpack as i'll mainly be backpack camping (but may also take the rod while hunting).
3) Recommend any specific lures for the fish in item #1? There are SO many - it's really confusing.
4) I'm in Calgary, so had planned on talking to the people at Cabelas, but if there are any other shops nearby that people recommend, it would be appreciated!
Thank you very much.
