Default where can I find hammer handle pike?

Looking for some hammer handle pike to catch on a fly rod. I live southwest of calgary, so something within 2 hours of that is definitely preferable. I do have a kayak or float tube that I can fish from.

Will be catch and release

thanks!

Side channel down from 22x bridge. It'll be full of pike.

Park at boat launch in fish creek park. Walk down past the bridge and you'll see a channel. I've always seen pike parked in there. It's not very big. Google map it.

Honestly, I have never seen anyone fly fishing out there in the past 12 years when I have been out there

Not sure where you would go but I am sure someone will chime in soon
