I was born here and am jealous of anyone from Ont because of the amount of lakes and rivers there.

Unfortunately there is no bass fishery here. Likewise for musky. What is different here that prevents these fish? I am leaning toward cooler water temperatures during summer or is the water too hard. Ph levels? I am leaning toward water hardness myself.
Thanks Kokanee

Don't be jealous Alberta has an awesome fishery and is well worth protecting.
There is not to many other places you can float on your tube in the shadows of glacier mountain ranges. I thing the issue with the bass and musky is due to the extreme cold for such a long period of time. Both species are a high oxygen needing fish. Looking forward to try my hand at flyfishing from what i've read on here there are some very knowable flyfishers here.
