Wedge pond kananaskis
Has anyone here fish wedge pond in Kananaskis? Was wondering if it would be worth a trip to catch a few grayling through the ice.
Thanks for any replies.

Go to Quarry Lake you'll probably have better luck there!

How's access into Quarry? Truck needed? Any other recommendations? Wife is dying to catch a grayling.

Access is good. Its Pretty much in Canmore. Paved road that is maintained right to the parking lot. You shouldn't have a problem with a car.

Do guys actually catch fish at wedge pond in the winter? I haven't heard of much success being had there? I think there are bigger ones in quarry too.

I was at wedge in September, didn't see a single fish rise. Only thing I saw were a few dead 1-2" minnows around shore.

Everyone's definition of enjoyable is different. For your description as, " far more enjoyable," thought you'd have more to say then that. I'm not often in the area so I'll pass for now.

Haha. If you're not familiar then your opinion doesn't have much merit.
Quarry is like icefishing the southland dog park. Completely landscaped setting, and too many expert tourists covered in GoPros.
Wedge is a beautiful spot nestled in the trees.

Lovely. But the question is fish, not scenery. Your opinion apparently doesn't have much merit in this discussion either. Brandon offered a useful opinion based on experience. Take a pill.

I didn't have an oppinion on wedge since I've never been, I had a question regarding fishing at wedge. You ascertained my assumption that some people like yourself find more enjoyment in the environment surrounding the lake. Where as some of us would fish in a puddle in the landfill if we knew there were ten pound trout there.
I've had several successful outings to quarry and I'm no hermit, so I actually enjoy talking to people passing by and giving them a little fishing education.
To each his own. I'm glad you enjoy wedge!
The original poster can fish where ever he wants it really doesn't matter to me.

Wedge is worth fishing. Wasn't the easiest bite for me this summer but they were in there.
Never been to quarry, easy enough to go fish both if you want to.

Thanks for the responses fellas, I didn’t think when I started this thread it would start an argument.
I do agree that wedge is a nicer setting to spend a day than quarry, I have flyfished both in the summer months in years past but it has been awhile since being to wedge.
I was looking to see if anyone on the board has had any success ice fishing wedge and whether it would be worth the effort.
Thanks for the info on quarry and great videos Brandon.

not about my experience, it's about you putting others down and telling them their opinion doesn't matter. Get down off your high horse. All you've offered is that it's pretty. That's nice, but it doesn't invalidate anyone else's comments about how it or any other body of water fishes. YOu can both be right. Quarry can fish better and Wedge can be prettier. There.

Bear is obviously the better of the three in the summer months but it’s not really an ice fishing destination.
Does anyone know if they still stock Quarry and Wedge? I tried looking it up and the only info I could find was dated back in 2013. If that was the last time that these water bodies were stocked then that could explain the slow bite at wedge that most speak of.
