Monster Trout Action

[Alberta's Lakeland]

With the extreme cold weather the last few weeks, ice conditions in the Lakeland are perfect for trophy ice fishing. The best drive to lake trout fishing in North America sits within a days drive from both of Alberta's major cities. Of course I am talking about Cold Lake. With many 30lb fish already iced this year it is not hard to keep your freezer full of great tasting Lake Trout fillets.The best part being that very little skill is required to ice these behemoths of the deep. Find 100ft of water anywhere on the lake and the action is non stop. Simply drop a 2oz tube jig to the bottom and start jigging. Hot colours are anything from white to pumpkin seed to black/silver flake . . . it does not matter on this amazing fishery. If traveling from Edmonton/ Calgary to fish the lake, remember that your take home limit is 1 fish only so load up the family to increase the number of fillets you can take home. These fish are fantastic table fare. Due to the excellent job of fish managment the Provincal goverment's implemented on this lake, it is really paying off with huge fish along with good numbers of all sizes of fish. With the many lodging options in the area you can be fishing the lake during the day while enjoying fine dinning after a hard day of hauling in lunkers. Easy access, huge fish that are easy to catch and 1st class accomodations make Cold Lake your freezer filling destination.
