Where can I get some 5lb plus rainbows throught the ice? I would prefer the southern half of Alberta.

15 years ago we use to get the odd one over 5 pounds out of Henniger down by Milk River.

X2 for Duck Lake. They hold a derby every winter (Feb. I think) which can be fun. Last time down for me was with the Holthe boys..... Too much fun.

Told you Henninger was good. Ken was saying Butcher had some nice size ones in there as well but I dont knot if its BS.

Hey RyanGSP is it still good down at Henniger I grew up in Taber & we would go down there a couple of times every winter. Always had good luck there. The biggest one I ever seen come out of there was almost 8 pounds and we always caught a couple in the 3 to 4 pound range.

I havent been this year so I cant say how it is. I have a feeling I may be down there soon though.

X3 on Duck Lake, MT. We go every year about mid March and always catch some in the 23-26" range. Watch out for the wind - Duck Lake can be worse than Lethbridge.
