I've been thinking of maybe going to Athabasca river around Whitecourt (I know there's some stream north of Whitecourt but I don't remember the name), the freeman river, or maybe the mcLeod around Edson or something like that.
Would I need to go a lot closer to the mountains to have a decent chance of finding any?
Oh yea, just a general question, I'm assuming there's mountain lions around those areas? I'm probably going to wait until I can find someone to go with me if that's the case.

I have caught grayling in the creeks off the highway to Robb from Edson. Not big but fun. I have caught them in the Athabasca river by Fox Creek too. Not bad for size. I have heard you can go north of Swan Hills for them too. Anywhere you go, there may be a bear or a cougar. Just be aware of where you are and remember, creeks and rivers are noisy so they can mask your noise, be louder lol.
