Boating and fishing in Jasper
Reading on the websites, it is very unclear, but from what I could, it says that some lakes you are alowed gas powered boats. None of which are listed.
Can anyone name the lake that have decent fishing and are allowed motor boats?
If there are no good options I will be taking a trip to banff, to fish minnewanka.

Mystery Trout
Hi guys
A few years ago I was on vacation in Alberta. I am from Ontario. Between Banff and Jasper, I stopped on the side of the road and grabbed my fishing rod and walked up beside a little stream a few hundred yards from the road and caught a couple of small trout.
The one trout I caught was silver with a bright red mark that went across the throat. I just assumed it was a Cut Throat Trout because I had never seen one before as we don't have those in Ontario. After looking at pictures of Cut-throats it was a totally different fish.
Does anyone know what I caught??

Probably still a cutty. Trout from different areas all tend to look different, sometimes ALOT different.

In regards to the topic all waterbodies in Jasper national park are electric motors only. Last time there was gas powered boats allowed was in the 90's. Although parks Canada(wardens) and maligne boat tours(grandfathered lease agreement) will still use gas powered boats. Not sure about banff, last I heard only minnewanka allowed the usage of gas powered boats.

Did the fish look like the top fish in the picture posted below? If so, that's probably a cutbow(rainbow cuthroat trout hybrid). I caught that trout out of Kootney lake BC.

Yeah, for the big trout they were really deep and I didn't have a heavy enough rod for the weight required to get the lure down and I didn't have a downrigger on my 12ft truck topper boat either. I also didn't know what to use for them at the time. I talked to a guide as well that ran the campground I was staying at. He had 5 solid years of experience and he said he even had a hard time getting the big ones to bite.

Hope you had your parks fishing license. Not to say that you didn't, but just pointing it out for the purposes of this thread that people need to obtain their national parks fishing license before fishing in Jasper, Banff, Kootenay and Yoho national parks. I think they can be purchased at the gates, otherwise check out this webpage for more info:

Picked up my Jasper license about two hours ago.They no longer sell them at the gate but you can get them at Online sports in town...They didn't have the regs in yet so I'll have to go back later to get them.

They won't have the new regs until middle of May at the earliest based on the last 30 years of when parks annual regs have come out.
