Pike on the fly.
With limited time these days it's seems like my trips to the southern part of the province chasing trout have dwindled down to a couple trips a year. To fill the void I often float tube around Edmonton areas pot hole lakes for stocked rainbows. Just this past year I started floating some shallow bays, tossing big streamers for pike. I haven't bothered to put the time in to chase anything big as I'm perfectly content with the action the small pike offer this time of year. The typical pencil pike that you drag in on its side with hard tackle are a blast on a fly rod. Anybody else floattube/kayak for northerns in the Edmonton area?
