Tried Chestermere today

[hillbilly1250]

First time for me on this slab, after a little stumbling around I found some water approaching the 20 foot mark. Saw another guy catch a little pike then shortly after I caught a little one not big enough to keep. Can't believe it but I dangled some preserved minnows down there for about two hours and got nothing on them. I still had worms from Bearspaw yesterday so I gave it a shot and the little bugger was lookin' for worms. Guess I'll try that again next weekend. Lots of ice though. Had to finish the hole on my knees.

Were you on the north or the south part? I was planning on heading there in the afternoon for a few hours but ended up doing repairs on wife's car

At least this week the weather will be mild, might just duck out early on work and get some fresh air.

I was half way down the lake on the side where you can see the power line towers.

You should try by the south canal. Head out to the middle until your lined up with this glass looking house. Had lots of luck there

[slingshotz]

Is there a road you can drive on that follows the south canal from RR283 to the lake? I haven't been down in the south part of the lake in since I was a kid and it was still surrounded by farmlands lol

You should try Dalemead Lake. Its just south of Langdon has pike in there and im sure trout since the irrigation runs in there. Ive never fished it myself but i know there are a bunch in there might have better luck there.

I thought someone said Dalemead was like a marsh now...but then again Chestermere isn't too far off

I wouldnt waist your time at Dalemead. This summer the water level got very low. From the Hwy it looked like you could see dry ground. But who knows!

[Lethalconnection]

Well id listen to those guys cause like i said ive never fished it jsut heard some rumours. Sorry couldnt help

be careful at Bearspaw with worms I don't think you can use them there
