Overall, I'd say this is a pretty finicky fishery from a stand point of the number of bites or fish that you will catch.....but if you are persistent and stay patient you will catch a few like the ones below:

I hate to be the bearer of bad news... or correct me if I'm wrong, but both of those brown trout appear to have been poached. They are well over the 35 cm limit, even if you were fishing with a bud (so you could keep 2).
From the Regs (
http://www.albertaregulations.ca/fishingregs/es1.html):
Bearspaw Reservoir
Open all year – Lake Trout limit 3;
Other Trout limit 1 under 35 cm; Mountain Whitefish limit 5 over 30 cm; Bait, except bait fish, allowed.
Nice lakers, but please make sure you read and understand the Regs before harvesting oversized trout (other than lake trout).
Thanks,
