As if you need this "off road" truck to get you to these lakes...………….all on pavement
So now that you know the vehicle that’s going to deliver you to your backcountry angling expedition, here are a few Alberta lake destinations to get you started — but mind the catch-and-release restrictions and keep limits:
•Calling Lake is located 200 km north of Edmonton, and its generous waters offer a wealth of big walleye, northern pike, yellow perch, elusive lake whitefish and burbot. Don’t hesitate to move out and fish deep.
•The Kananaskis Lakes are located in Peter Lougheed Provincial Park, with beautiful views of the Rocky Mountains. Catch bull trout, cutthroats and rainbows in both upper and lower lakes —but seasoned anglers say the big ones like to gather in the lower.
•Lake Minnewanka is primarily a catch-and-release lake located east of the town of Banff and 150 km northwest of Calgary. Pull out a monster-sized lake trout or mountain whitefish and then give some other lucky angler a chance to do the same.
•Maligne Lake in Jasper National Park provides a wealth of trout, whitefish and northern pike. Take a boat or cast from shore — anglers find both approaches rewarding.
•An hour’s drive north of Red Deer, Pigeon Lake provides a wide variety of gamefish, from walleye and northern pike to yellow perch, lake whitefish and burbot. Walleye are catch-and-release only without a special harvesting permit, but there are plenty of them!
