Default Barrier lake?

I was wondering if anyone had any information on fishing in barrier lake in Kananaskis? Is a parks license required? Fish species? Any information is appreciated.

Ive only ever caught one small trout in there so I can confirm theres trout in there. Fishing is normally slow with no bites there though.

Fished there a few summers ago with no luck in the lake. I tried below the dam and caught a fair number of Brookies approx. 6-10 inches. Just be alert and careful when down there though.

While it's a beautiful, easily accessible lake, it's not really known to be a very good fishery. The upper or lower Kananaskis Lake would be a better place to try.
