White Fish NSR
Does anyone know when the whitefish are swimming in large schools and biting well? I would like to try it this year.

I suspect Sage is refering to Rocky Mountain Whitefish. If so (and perhaps regardless), the fellows are all correct. Normally they start to fish better in late August & really start to collect in schools in deep runs in September. Usually by late September or early/mid October, fishing for them starts to taper off. Of course there are always exceptions & variations that make a fibber out of a fellow, but that time frame has been my experience. They are usually quite easy to catch, and can be a lot of fun. They are a fairly oily/fatty fish, but smoke up quite nicely. Catch & release is a lot of fun!

Your best bet for whitefish on the North Sask is upstream of Rocky Mountain House. I have done quite well in late August/September below the Bighorn Dam.
