Im looking to get out fly fishing the lower Kananaskis to see if i can find some bull trout. I was wondering if anyone here would be kind enough to share some wisdom as where i might be able to find them? Im mostly not sure about what depths i should be fishing, but would be interested and very appreciate in hearing anything you have for me. Ill be limited to kicking along in a float tube, as my dad wont be able to come out with me in the boat. So im hoping i don't have to travel to far to hopefully find some fish. Any information on fishing this lake would be greatly appreciated.
Another quick question. When it comes to acutely fishing for the bull trout, would it be better to do the usual cast and retrieve the streamer, or slowly troll the streamer along? Im just not sure if trolling might be a more productive method, covering more water and hopefully finding a hungry or aggressive fish.
Be very careful out there in a float tube. I was out there last weekend in my 18 1/2 foot Kingfisher and we were getting pushed around in the wind. If that wind comes up you could find yourself down the lake in a hurry. Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying to not go out. I'm just saying be cautious and aware of that wind.

Sometimes you just have to take a deep breath, look around, and admire what mother nature gave us.

I second that, try to hug the shore. I float tubed the k lakes for a few years as well. The wind can get out of control pretty quickly there. I always found parking myself in a bay or inlet seems to help protect you from the wind.
