i've got a craving to get after some brookies, i'd like to fish them from shore on a creek, just like when i was a kid. any ideas on a good spot to scratch this itch?
If your looking for brooks, I have had my best luck at the above mentioned, Elbow Lake, aswell as the Jumpingpound Creek and Sibbald Meadows Pond about 20 minutes outside Calgary.

Cataract Creek, south on trunk road ( #?) from Hwy 40 or 541 (Longview) is infested with Brook trout. Get in there and keep your limit of 2. Highwood tributary, open June 16-Aug.31
There is a lake that is rumoured to have nice brook trout in it, I think it is called "Thunder Lake??".
It is located near the junction of the elk river road and the trunk road.
Never fish there in late August though. As you may hear an elk bugle off in the distance and they you will not be able to fish anymore.
There are no brook trout down here in Australia as far as I know. But the beach fishing can be very exciting.
you guys has baramundi too, hook on one of those badboy feels like you have a donkey pulled your line.

They are always fairly small. 6-10 inches. They are pretty aggressive and easy to catch though. I just park on the side of the highway where the creek crosses highway 1 and fish just upstream from there. There is a beaver dam and a pool below that which gets a lot of action.
There are several creeks near Rocky where you can have some fun catching small brookies. My son and I had a blast in some bearer dams on "Frenchman's Creek" and Kept a few for the fry pan.
