Pike Fishing Near Calgary
Can anyone recommend any good places to fish for Pike about an hour outside of Calgary. I went to Badger Reservior in Lomond which is about 2-2 1/2 hours away last week and just not looking to travel that far again.
Thanks,
Trundle

you must have taken the long way around! There are Pike in Crawling valley, or PCR or even in Chestemere

Pine Coulee Reservoir, its south near Stavely, millions of little C and R walleye, and some good sized pike that sometimes eat the walleye right off your hook, always fun

FWIW I caught my first pike tonight at Langdon Resevoir, just down 22X east.
I got 8 takes in 3 hours and my partner got 2. 1st 2 were 22-24", 3 didn't make the beach, one at 10" or so and the rest at 18-20'.
Good evening.

Chestermere has lots
You might try that walking path from Calgary to Chestermere. There are lots of pike in the lake and they had to come from somewhere. I've seen people tolling in the canal before.
Good luck.

#8 5 of diamonds worked the best for me and took 2 with a red and white. Partner tossed a perch pattern rapala. We shore fished the SE berm, try close to the weed beds.

Yup....
They are hitting them hard. Get out the regs and a map and start looking for places open all year and ones that are on the map but not mentioned. There are several obvious ones south and a few just north of Calgary if you do a little research.

Some excellent pike fishing from shore at Crawling Valley. You're looking at a little longer than an hour of a drive, though.

x2 yep, you can still have the line wet when the other lakes are closed 
smelts work great for pike, good to use when you feel lazy and you just toss it in and wait

Chestermere is awesome, caught over 100 pike there within a few trips this summer. Just trolling a Mepps cyclops.
