Ya this name thing is gonna drive me crazy....what I know is...the "TROUT LAKE" just north of the Whitecourt area has the ice off and is open for fishing according to the F&W in that area. If you can confirm that Bearbait it would be awsome! I would really hate to drive up there next weekend with 4 buddies and find out this mis-name thing got some communications crossed and it is still iced...

Guys, I was thinking about heading up there in my 12' aluminum but I'm not sure if there will be room on the lake with your two boats? 
I haven't been up there for years but it's not too far from here and I might free up a day to go out this week. I used to troll there with a willow branch, hook and a worm and always did well. This time of year would I fish the same way or will just a Cleo be enough?
Also I wanted to ask bearbait how the Whitecourt fire is. Will I get smoked out right now or are things sorted out?

Yikes & I thought my 16ft Crestliner with 140hp Nissian was overkill at Carson. I bow to you sir.

they got the fires under control...a little smoke but its not bad at all...this time of year i use a slip bobber and shrimp or worm...but trolling small pluggs and spoons work as well....if the back was better i would fly fish as well...the fish are hungry and theres alot of them in carson...
good luck guys

This photo is good for a few laughs because the speed on the lake is 15 km per hour.

Now that's what I'm talking about! Four of those in the freezer and one in the frying pan would do me nicely. I definitely have to find a day to go out this week. Thanks for the picture Paul!

You are right on, BM. That fish of Pauls out of Carson Lake is a male rainbow. Here are a few I caught. You can see the distinct difference between the 2 hen rainbows and the "rooster".

It doesn't look like a rooster either.
They used to have a little write up by the boat launch about how many rainbows they put into the lake every year. The relm site should have the info but I think that it was somewhere about 250,000 fingerlings per year. Shoot! Now I have to go looking for it.

I talked to the care taker in the camp ground and he told me in 2008 they put in 750,000 trout. Meet the other Mr. Rainbow.
