Any advise, tips or recomendations would be awesome.
Thank folks.

Reesor Lake and Spruce Coulee are both within the confines of Cypress Hills Provincial Park. Reesor Lake has a fairly small but nice campground and Spruce Coulee has a campground that is tenting only. Fishing in Reesor is generally good but for some reason the fish have declined in size over the last while..don't expect to catch anything over 14 inches..and if you do it's a bonus. Spruce Coulee is a small but very nice lake to take a B.B, canoe or pontoon on..(no prop motors allowed).The lake is stocked with Brook trout
and walleye were accidently introduced several years ago(we won't get into that one!)
There is a very nice tent only campground there and a camp kitchen. Bullshead resevoir is about a 35 minute drive from Reesor and has had special regulations for a few years. Fishing is very good for large rainbows if you have the right flies/lures
There is also Michelle Lake about 20 minutes south of Bullshead that is usually good fishing for rainbow.Michelle and Bullshead are outside the park and there aren't any trees around the lake and little protection from the winds.I have fished all four lakes in one day ..just to say I did it
and caught fish in each one....have fun!
