Mclean Pond or Allen Bill pond west of Bragg Creek are both stocked with small rainbows, I have seen guys with pontoons at Mclean (Allen Bill is tiny). I have had days of 10+ fish per hour out of Mclean, with the biggest being around the 15" mark. If you are in North Calgary a good spot would also be Sibbald lake/ Sibbald Meadows Pond. Or try this link to the fish stocking report and have a look for yourself: http://mywildalberta.com/Fishing/StockingReports.aspx

if you want to hit up some streams, head down to the Crowsnest region and fish the many excellent streams in that area along the Forestry Trunk Road. Oldman, Livingstone (my favourite), Dutch, Racehorse, Crowsnest River, Highwood, and many other excellent riovers to walk and wade down there.
