Eating fish near Edmonton
Ok I just moved back to Edmonton and love eating fish. Looking for the closest and best eating fish to catch and eat near Edmonton. I know of several lakes and river around Edmonton but none of them seem good for eating fish.
Thanks

Good luck, the closest thing I can find are muddy trout from Sauer... No where close by that you can keep walleye, can't find any perch, hell even finding a pike over 63 cm is difficult...

you cant keep any sturgeon on the n.s.r, and as for trout, sauer lake or chickcacoo lake is great, make a nice curry out of them and they wont taste muddy, or put alot of flavour in em

It is easy enough to catch trout near Edmonton, I don't know that they fall into the good eating category though.

If I wouldn't drink the river or lake-water, I wouldn't eat anything that lived in it. That's why I wouldn't eat any fish caught near Edmonton in the summer. Wait for ice-fishing season, until then, buy your fish from the grocery store.

callings not nearly as bad as pidgeon and wizard . calling would be acceptable quality, the slot size is pretty small so there always tasty.
