There have been many times there is open water in Febuary and March on the N.S.R i remember 5 years ago March 13th i got a sunburn@ 13 degrees well fishing the outfall, think what you guys want, if there is open water and it is safe to do so i will fish it from shore anytime of he year if it's safe to do so, use common sense.

If you guys want to fly fish, try the Bow when the chinooks roll through Calgary. That river can be very productive throughout the winter and fished fairly safely as well. Leave Edmonton's city limits by 6am and you should be entering the water by 10ish. Concentrate on deep slow pools and the head of a pool in the chop where fast water meets slow water. Nymphing rigs with an indicator on a floating line or sink tips with a streamer work well.

Cheers,
Doc

Let them go and take their chances. Why the hell do you all care what they do. If they go and get killed, its their problem not yours. I certainly wouldn't endorse going for it, as I've played on that ice at breakup, and even rode icebergs down the river. If they choose to try and fish the river so be it. Worry about yourselves people, its up to them if they want to try and win a darwin...

Normally I would agree without a second thought.... I don't think twice about people who kill themselves doing something stupid, as long as they don't hurt anyone else. But when I think about the tax money wasted and public servants who would put their lives on the line to rescue someone who thought it was a good idea to do something dumb, it miffs me a bit.

try on the north side of the river at the quesnell stormwater drain. It is open and a deep hole. You can fish right off the culvert safely. Park on laurier drive and hike down the stairs. You can assess the bank, drain etc. from the bridge walking path.
