What is the best fishing around Little Bow Provincial Park
We want to catch large pike and walleye. We were thinking of Keho or Travers.. Is there any better ones around there or are those the best around that area?

It wasn't as hot as usual, but we all still got limits.
Once you find that deep hole in the middle of the lake it is game on!

Should I take the hip waders or will rubber boots suffice?
I hear the perch action is insane

We just launch my yellow canoe in the reeds and paddle out. The good spot in the middle drops off from a few feet to 20'+ real fast.
You find that spot and you won't want to go home!
There are so many fish schooled up there that we use our worst lures as a joke, just so we can say we've caught some awesome fish on them.

Was that you guys in the yellow boat? I saw you guys constantly reeling them in. I was in the red boat. I haven't been out there since the floods, but the launch was fine. We did good also, throwing them back in, and only started keeping fish later in the day and still managed to limit out. I thought 15lb test would have been sufficient, but a couple managed to break it during the course of the day.

honestly, you are already at a great spot, if nothing else, walk to the end of the dock, you have as much chance at a 30 pound pike or 10 pound walleye from there as anywhere else in the province. without even having to put on shoes!

Really guys?
As Corb Lund says, "Not very neighbourly, Not very neighbourly".
Fishmanbrady,
It isn't a very good etiquette to ask people where to catch the biggest fish. What do you think most every fisherman is trying to do? We would expect you to become a contributing member to the discussions and show that you put in some significant effort before we offer up location advice. Would you?
Otherwise, welcome to AO. Do some searching around the forum and I think you may find what you are looking for. There is lots of fishing sdvice here if you are willing to do a bit of work on your own. There's a hint in that last sentence  .
