I could be very wrong about this but I think with all the snow we had this winter and the late spring those creeks and streams would be awful high and fast right now.
Never occured to me earlier.

Any fishing done in southern alberta this year in the month of june will be done on lakes, rivers are high and muddy, and there is more rain in the forcast so head to a lake.

Pretty sure these pictures are from last year, there is no hope that they are that clear.

Trunk Road from the hamlet of Waiparous to the Waiparous lookout point is a little loose and has some larger chucks of rocks on the road. From Waiprous look out point to Mountain Air Logde it has yet to be graded (last weekend) so is compact bit has some pot hole and washboarding but not that bad all things considered.
As for the water, the Panther river which is a tributary of the Red Deer has cleared up signifiacantly over the last few weeks but as soon as it gets hot the snow melt will make it dirty again. From the road the Burnt Timber Creek looked good as well as the Ghost Creek closer to Waiparous. The Upper Red Deer is surpirsingly clear as well (by clear I mean not looking like chocolate milk) but will also change with the heat. Hope this helps.

Sweet pics Shawn! I don't think there is any better place and more scenic place to explore than the western Alberta or BC back country. I even like exploring the backcountry of BC and western Alberta much better than going to Florida. I feel very lucky and grateful to live in Canada which I beleive is one of the most scenic countries on the plantet. To the heck with foreign vacationing!..lol.

what's the name of that lake in the waiparous creek area. I have been there a couple of times as a kid, so my memory is vauge. All i remember is riding in there on our dirt bikes and then walking a couple of hundred feet to the lake.
Anyone know what lake I'm talking about?????
