Fall pike
 

Looking for some help on fall pike. I live right on the bc broader and only fish trout mostly, I fished pike in the spring a few times and had a blast and was thinking of doing some fall pike fishing on the fly, I live a few hrs from any pike lakes and was wondering if it would be worth the drive to try some fall fishing for them, I catch and release everything and just want some action
Thanx again for the help

what end of the border are you?

Southern, 2hrs from Lethbridge

Waterton Reservoir, park at the campground and walk the shore towards the rockwall but don't fish from the rocks but parallel, so about 40' from the wall. Can get muddy so be careful. Smelts work but I find that a four inch Mr Twister on a good jighead with a three inch fluoro leader or stainless steel leader works great. they also like the good ol Len Thompson Red and White. Good chance for a big brown or lake trout. If you go with the jighead method, cast and let sink for about 3 Mississippi's . If smelting, make sure to move your bait by bringing in some line every so often, about two turns of your reel.

copy paste to google maps, it will mark the spot;

49.329095, -113.679505

Awesome thanx for the info Crankbait, I only
Own a fly rod and was just running streamers in st Mary's reservoir in the spring and caught a ton, nothing big 4-6lb range, I'm not really looking for the 20lber, would be nice tho, im looking for numbers and the fight, I fish enough trout and looking for some pike action
Thanx again for the info much appreciated

pending wind direction you could flyfish at that spot no problem. there are some larger gals in there but I find the smaller ones there scrappy as heck and like to jump. they taste phenomenal too.

Ya I'm not to worried about the size just a bit of a change from trout, I have a 12ft tinner I'll bring out with me and I know those reservoirs can get crazy windy without warning I'll be sticking close to shore anyways catching all my last pike in 3-15ft of water so we'll see how it goes weather pending
Thanx again

it's really deep so make sure the chute isn't flowing and you could troll the rockwall with a big bucktail or work the west shoreline. it can be a bugger to launch a boat if the water is really low and by low, I mean by twenty or so feet vertical never mind down ramp.

if you can lake something like this about 6 inches in length and troll from your flyrod (8 weight) would be a ton o'fun. If you have more beige brown colouring for the bucktail portion and a more brassy blade this would be good, jig tail optional but I would go with white.

Yup I have a bunch of streamers I use for bull trout and bass I can try out

Cochrane and Romeril are good as well.

Thanx wildbill, I'll have to do some googling

Is a person able to get a small aluminum on there? Doesn't look very big, I see there's perch in there also, I've had many of good times fly fishing for perch
