Question Fishing the Muskeg River Ft McMurray

Anyone fish the Muskeg river by the bridge to nowhere? I see that its flat and slow moving at the mouth but the river itself is quite rapid and has a lot of pools the farther upstream you go. Looks like it could be good for RMW, Grayling and Goldeye possibly. Just wondering who has fished it on any section between Albian sands and the Athabasca River.

Thanks,

I haven't been in a few years and the land around it has changed quite a bit. A lot of people used to drive down to waters edge and then throw out pickeral rigs. It used to be pretty good for walleye.

You can also tried right of the barge landing. Same method of fishing with good walleye results.
