i have been doing pretty good around ponoka, had a couple 20-30 fish mornings,2-3lb average, biggest around 5lbs, had one around 10...peeled abunch of line off and spit it..., my buddy got him a few days later. there is a few holes around the highway but not worth it IMO...have floated it before. caught some on my flyrod in the rain this morning. looking for Walleyes..pretty scarce in my area, but have caught some nice ones(7-8lber few years ago-my biggest) in the past. there is some BIG holes in the Battle, but the water gets very low and stagnant by fall. It gets alot of Pressure, and the fish population is pretty fragile. one spring i found 50+ winterkilled fish...alot of Walleye...el nino year couple years back...it is a far cry from how it was when i was a kid...caught & RELEASED alot of monsters(10-15lbers anyway), it bugs me that you are aloud to keep fish out of it, i would never eat them out of there( and i love to eat fish), but some do...
