looking for a good place to fish near edmonton

hi, i am buying a seamax hd 330, i will only be rowing it for now. i was wondering what are some good spots i could try it out at and do some fishing around edmonton, leduc, beaumont area. i will be heading out sunday morning. any help would be muchly appreciated.

Head out to muir lake. Nice rainbows and easy to row around the lake. Just make sure you read the regulations before fishing there.

The NSR is a great fishery. Other that that, there is coal, close to you. If you dont mind the drive there is jackfish,spring, chicacoo. Your best bet would be to pick up a "Barry Michles" guide. It has a listing of most fishable waters. And well worth the ten bucks. Good luck this season.

the nsr would be awesome to fish but im just not sure about going in there with a row boat

[fishfofun]

i've also been looking and most lakes still look like there closed untill the 14

i was also wondering if hermitage park would be big enought to throw the boat in, i've never been down there, but i do alot of reading on it and it seems that people are catching decent fishing in there

I would not recommend hitting the NSR in a row boat.
You might end up in fort Saskatchewan.

does hermitage park have pike in it? could i put my boat in there?

Start in Devon, end up in Edmonton. A good time in a canoe, so why not a row boat. It makes me feel a little under gunned when I see those guys from the Edmonton rowing club rip by, and my little boat has trouble beating the current.

I don't think there is a public launch at hermitage.
At least not the last time I was down there.
Nearest to that is 50th street launch.

well that just sucks, maybe i wont be fishing from my boat untill next weekend.

If I had alittle row boat I would go to Half moon lake just north of Bonacord for pike and perch.
For trout I would go to Sardine lake its just one hr west of leduc.
They don't allow boats at Hermatage
