Got a date, and a canoe plus gear, now what

[Trey]

So this girl I know has been buggin me for quite awhile to take her fishing with me. And she's probably about an 8 outta 10, so I kinda want to impress a little. But I've been in manitoba all summer and haven't fished Alberta really at all this year. So what's a good spot that's happening right now? I don't care what kind of fish just as long as we get some, and I got a canoe so a lake that's not super windy on average would have to almost be a must with girls on board. oh and did I mention she wants to go TOMORROW, help me out here guys, I was thinking pine coulee but I got skunked there last time I went and, it's not very senic.

It would sure help if you had pics.

If you're in Calgary now, why don't you try spray lakes or something south of Canmore. Pretty easy to catch fish and doesn't get that windy. Pretty nice scenery too so you will probably slay after the fishing.

[rammer]

You ever use little mepps spinners, seem to do the trick there

are you kidding? spray is one of the worst lakes for wind. every afternoon. its good in the morning and every afternoon the wind will kick up especially on the middle section of the lake.

I can see how a little bit of wind bothers you...probably messes up your hair so you don't look as pretty for your boyfriend. The lake is so small that you're never bouncing around in waves or anything. If a little wind does bother you, drive 5 minutes north and fish a smaller body of water protected from the wind.

I am shocked that no one has said anything about her ONLY being an 8/10....if she ever reads this your butt will have skid marks on it from being kicked to the curb ! All women we date are 10`s .....aint that the truth?

lol nice. but my ex can attest that we have had 2 days where we were almost capsized in those waves. spray lakes is narrow but it runs the same direction as the wind blows on that lake and with the length, by the time it hits the bend it can make some pretty nasty swells. remember he is in a canoe not a 18 footer like you probably fish from. But nice try to make me look like a girl. speaks alot for your character and maturity. A true keyboard warrior.

Ps I did recommend a lake and even offered him a map of some protected waters that he can fish from if winds are blowin. spray can be calm but more often than not winds pick up and most people who ice fishes spray can attest that the winds at spray if there is any are more than just "a little bit of wind"

I figure she gets an extra two points for wanting to get out fishing . . . that makes her a 10 and they aren't easy to come by!

How about a nice little trout lake? In the mountains (kinda), not too far from Calgary, scenic and nice to paddle around in? Beaver Lake by Caroline sounds like a great date to this girl. It might be a bit of work to entice them at this time of year, but the overall experience would be much more enjoyable than PCR.
