Monday April 25, 2011 Glenmore Resevoir Update
So today I decided to bike Around Glenmore. For those of you who are wondering - Glenmore Reservoir WILL be fishable this opening weekend. Most of the open water is by South glenmore park and Weaselhead. Also some at the North Glenmore park and underneath the Glenmore trail bridge.

I've caught a few on Rapala Countdowns and once on a spinner. Only pulled pike out of there so far, all from shore.

Check your regs..... pretty sure the rule is no baitfish(alive or dead) in there (smelts are not considered baitfish).

Not allowed to use live bait at all in Alberta.
It is unlawful to:
Use live fish for bait.
Use scented lures or scented weights where bait bans are in effect.
Just an FYI

There is a bait ban in the Elbow river. This includes scented plastic baits, worms, dead bait fish, smelts, etc. The only exception is maggots, and they can only be used Between 16/8 and 31/10.
You can use any bait you wish in the reservoir, all year - EXCEPT bait fish (this does not include smelts)
There is ALWAYS a ban on live bait fish everywhere in the province, at all times.

my leeches & worms wiggle around quite a bit when i throw my hooks through them. pretty sure that they're very much alive and positive it's legal in alberta. you have to watch your wording when offering help regarding regulations.

I have tried it a few times in the early spring but get caught up walking around in mud and fishing really shallow water. Where would be the best bet for a pike or brown cruising the warmer shallows?

If you look at glenmore from google earth you can clearly see where the deep spots are. For example if you loof at the south tsection there is a shalow water strip going along the bank which is about 30 yards thick. you have to cast past that strip to catch fish. or you could fish from a canoe

Does that mean that any water body where the regulations just say that using minnows is outlawed still means that smelts can be used.
I see alot of people at pegasus lake use smelt even though the regulations say that it is unlawful to use bait fish there.
