looking for a spot on friday??

[sirk]

hey guys

i need to get to calgary by friday night and am currently in edmonton. I would love to do some fly fishing for trout on the way down as i have all day friday to kill. What spots would you recomend? Red Deer River? I know the bow is shut down inside of calgary but what would you guys do? where would you go? Thanks for any and all replies

id go to some stocked ponds of pigeon for some eyes on the fly.

RDR is pretty murky and fast from what i seen today. I'd head too Burbank. 10km Outside of Red Deer.

so no one recomends the bow or RDR? i got a bunch of streamers and have fished fast water before. i just need a decent spot to start. im really a river/stream guy when it comes down to it. thank you for the responses so far.

from red deer take a right and go to nordegg, plenty of streams there to fish but just make sure yhou check your regs is see if they are open yet, shunda river, and many trout ponds by the highway 11, and nordegg trout ponds dont winterkill has some 5 pounders in the east and west pond, and the nsr south of nordegg has awsome fishing, gluck

Burbank makes a great spot then since it's where the Blindman River meets the RDR. You can either fish the calm and clear Blindman or try the RDR. I see people flyfish there all the time.

thanks guys! i am very familiar with the nordegg area, shunda and forrestry trunk road. I have never fished it this early in the year. Do you have any recommendations on the flies to use? i normally hit the shunda, ram and blackstone in july or august. thanks alot again.
