Grotto Pond

[FuzzyGrub]

Has anyone ever ice fished Grotto Pond by Canmore? Just wondering if it’s worth it. Will be visiting family over the holidays in Canmore and it’s nice and close 😬 thanks

you could try it. check google maps/earth, there's a big huge hole on the north side. I'd probably try the edge of that.

most stocked put-and-take ponds near calgary get fished out in the summer though, and Grotto isn't stocked in the fall. The shallows of spray lakes can be good for mountain whitefish and it can offer more action than going deep for lakers

Go to Quarry pond for some grayling action, Grotto is usually fished out by winter.

Spray for Rockies and Quarry for Grayling are also great options! I have never caught a Rockie or a Grayling.

People fish it early season just to get out on some ice, I live here and never have bothered,I would rather go to quarry lake or spray lakes both are within twenty minutes of Canmore downtown

I sat on Grotto several times over the years to no avail.. I think most all the fish are caught before freeze. Never had a bite, never had a thing on the sonar and I did fish the deepest part. Actually had a few people stop to take a pic of my tent as they thought it was kinda funny someone trying to ice fish Grotto

Too many good places to fish go to Severn or some where else. l At least you know there are fish in the water.
