Anyone go to a spot near the west end/devon that seems to have some luck?
I like to go walking for a few Kms down the shore, then set up a chair and just relax..but catching a few would be nice too!!
Good fishing all!!

Devon is my last choice to fish the NSR, unless im after suckers, burbot, and (further upstream of devon) sturgeon. dont get me wrong, there is fish all over the river, but alot of places are far better than others, and some are only good at certain times of the year.
if im after walletyes and goldeyes, plus saugers for good measure, in in my home town downstream of edmonton, if im after sturgies its around genesee, or between, fort sask and sherwood park. Pike are all over, some big pike in the area by that golf course along the river of some golf course near tewilliger (spl?) nice deep hole there, youd think sturgies when you seen the depth, but heh, a rare find. No word of a lie, this same area has been known to puke out Rockies for some reason. and not to long ago a friend of a friend was flyfishing for rising goldeye so he thought.....out by fort sask...... but caught a rocky mountain whitefish.
