Hey all. I will be in Red Deer for a week or so mid June. Has anyone fished Bower Ponds lately? Are there still pike there? Anything else worth catching there? I lived in Red Deer when I was a kid, but the only thing in the ponds then was rainbow trout. I know they have canoes etc there, but would they let a guy put his own Kayak in? Thanx in advance.
they use to stock rainbow trout in it, but since the river overflowed into it numerous times they have stopped due to the pike population. I tried fly fishing it until I seen a man with a huge pike I asked him where he caught it and he told me in the pond,and there was no more trout. I felt like a tool afterwards, casting a small fly.
It might be still fishable. Good place to screw around with a kayak. If possible head out to Dickson trout pond south of spruceview. Great pond for fishing from a kayak.
i was told there was a substancial ammount of pike in bower. spent the better part of last summer fishing it with not so much as even a bite.
I got a few from the aerators on both sides of the pond using weedless spoons a few years back. Lots of suckers if you look down from the bridge you can see them. There is trout in heritage park but its a little bit of a walk down some really steep stairs cases then about 1.5km walk to the little lake. it has a cement peir and a bridge and a big island on it but it holds small sized trout and tiny suckers.
