Default Red Deer River.

Hi everyone, I am going to be in Red Deer for a couple of weeks, and am wondering if the fishing right in and around Red Deer is good. I will have my flyrod, and a spinning rod with me. I’ve never fished the river before, but would like to give it a try. Thanks for your help. Have a great long weekend.

I haven't fished right in town but below the glennifer dam for a few miles downstream has good potential for a few browns , rockies, goldeye, pike or even the odd sturgeon. I imagine there must be some good fishing runs and holes right in Red Deer too. take a good look at google maps in satelite view for ideas. Where there are islands midstream makes for two narrow water channels which might be more effectively covered.

Hopefully someone from Red Deer will post or PM you.

Great for goldeye on your fly rod around town. Provided it’s not muddy.
