Good day: I'm going to be in the edson area for Thanksgiving and I'm wondering about taking a small inflatable boat is there any in the area,I know of Miller's any info on others will help.

Thanks

For pike, walleye, perch etc: Bear lake is small enough for an inflatable.

For trout: Kinky/Wildhhorse west of Hinton and Obed (Obed has big browns but are very picky)

Thanks for the info.

there's also Dandurand. It's a small pond on the North side of the hwy just before you get to the hill at the Millers turn off. In the summer you usually see rv's parked around the lake.

Never been there myself.

Before I moved away from Alberta I used to fish Miller, it was awesome and I was catching 5+ lbs rainbows it was so much! Caught one big Brown there too.

I have not been there since I returned but I heard that there was a big winter kills a few years ago.

Does anyone know if it's worth taking the drive to fish there now? Thanks

Yes Millers did winterkill a few years ago but they re-stocked it and changed the aerator. I saw some nice rainbows come out of there last ice season but I had no luck myself. Did not fish it open water this season.

Thank you for the info beerhonky.

I have perfected a killer system that the big ones can not refuse! It was taught to me by a local and I can honestly say that whenever I used to go there I catch the big guys when other are not.

If you would like to discuss that shoot me a message and I will be happy to share my system. Maybe next spring we can meet there and do it together.

Staying close to shore in front of the weed beds...Fickle lake for walleye, pike and whites. if there is wind it could blow you around and maybe cause a concern but you don't have to go far to catch fish.

At Millers I had great catches with a 2 inch trout pattern countdown rapala. That was before the winterkill though.
