Well I hit Barrier yesterday without any luck,maybe I am fishing the wrong part of the lake.Imostly was trolling the south end by the boat launch.So I have went mor south about where the river flows in? Anyhow I actually caught 5 brookies in the Kananaskis River.Headed back tomorrow and Sat. hike up to Elbow Lake for the day.CHEERS JODY

How was the boat launch at Barrier? Has the water come up?

Boat launch is find,water is high everyone was using it yesterday.Have you fished Barrier before? Is the fishing better where the river flows in to the lake?

Lots of fish rising at Lillian and Lower Galatea yesterday. Didn't have a rod but they sure looked eager! Saw a couple good sized cutties still on a redd in Lillian...that was pretty cool.

I had to hide behind a tree to bait my hook there last time , pretty decent hike in though

Ya, it's not too bad...about 5kms to Lilian and another 1.5 to Lower Galatea. Lower Galatea definitely sees a lot less pressure though and is far more fly fishing friendly.
