fishing was unreal, in every river stream and small lake you would get a bite every cast with the fly rod, the nordegg trout ponds were not cold at all, very refreshing, but i did take my mask and flippers down the upper pembina and you freeze in 5 seconds literaly, colder then the freezer trust me, but it was cool seeing the bottom of the pembina and all the whitefish that are accually in it
