Eastern Slopes KEY MAP

lberta’s Eastern Slopes region, an area spanning 90,000 square kilometres, encompasses the Rocky Mountains and foothills country, which make up the province’s best trout ﬁshing.

From the American border in the south, the region follows the British Columbia border along the west of the province for almost 1000 kilometres north until reaching the Peace country. This expansive region includes the cities of Lethbridge, Calgary, Canmore, Hinton, Whitecourt, and Grande Prairie.

A handful of famed fly angling rivers — notably the Crowsnest, Bow, Ram and Little Smoky — emerge from countless tributaries fed by snow and ice from the mountains. The Bow River, which is featured inside, has two distinct fishing personalities: the mountain region, which is a little narrower, a little more of a trek to reach, and little more rugged. The city river, however, has numerous access points and is easier to reach whenever the mood strikes. It is this part of the river that we’ve featured here. Broad ridges and rolling hills of aspen, spruce and lodgepole pine overlook the watersheds of the Eastern Slopes Region. The foothills provide some unusually quick transitions from mountains to prairies, providing anglers with stunning scenery to photograph their trophy fish.

Kananaskis Lake, situated below the rugged peaks of the continental divide, is an especially beautiful lake for trout fishing in the mountains. The northern part of the region is popular for Arctic grayling, and Rocky Mountain whitefish are often caught as well, especially along the western border of the region. Crowsnest, Fickle and Gap Lakes are all great whitefish locations, while Cow and Burnstick are close to Rocky Mountain House for some quick perch and pike fishing.

Brook trout, brown trout, rainbow and lake trout are all especially plentiful in the Eastern Slopes Region, and we’ve featured a number of excellent Angler’s Atlas users can post trout lakes. The Kinky and pictures of their catches online Wildhorse Lakes group are on the edge of the region, and at www.AnglersAtlas.com. while small, these lakes offer a Cold, clear mountain streams lot of choice -- and a lot of ﬁsh. favour cutthroat, bull, brook and rainbow trout. Upper

Upper Kananaskis Lake, situated below the rugged peaks of the continental divide, is an especially beautiful lake for trout fishing in the mountains. Birch, Chain and Swan Lakes are all terrific trout lakes, many of which are stocked (see the tables on pages 32-34 for stocking information). As if all that weren’t enough, Iosegun and Upper Kananaskis Lakes are both excellent multispecies lakes. Burbot, walleye and arctic grayling are among the Eastern Slopes Region’s other favourite fishing targets here. You’ll never run out of fishing opportunities in the Eastern Slopes, and we’ve barely scratched the surface. We’d love to hear about some of your other favourite fishing lakes! Head over to The Angler’s Atlas, and check out our new website! We’ve got new search functions, so you can even look for all of the lakes in the region that have your favourite fish in them. That’s just one of the great new features we’ve got in place for members. Recruit your friends, too, for chances to win! If you’d rather go mobile, we’ve got that, too!

ock Lake is a spectacular destination for outdoor enthusiasts of all kinds with its abundant wildlife, birdwatching, trails and wildﬂowers in the provincial recreation area. Fishing adds to its appeal. Whiteﬁsh and lake trout are most sought, and rainbow trout, burbot and northern pike can also be found here.

When ﬁshing for lake trout in warmer weather, it is best to try early in the morning, or just after dusk. Lake trout like to be in cooler water in the range of 10C. Drop-off areas are good places to start.

Dry flies, nymphs and streamers are generally the best bet for brown trout, he says, and use equipment somewhat heavier than for lake fishing. If you’re fishing from shore, he suggests a mid-weight setup. In a Calgary Dealer Group Beacon Hills

Into early summer, trout will head for cover. Cutmore says that Streamers are great all year, but especially into early summer. “At this time of year the fish often hold very close to the banks, making early summer the best time for ‘pounding the banks’ from a drift boat. He adds that you need to get right in close, within inches of the banks, when you cast. Retrieve your fly, “just a few feet before being recast.” Further into the summer, your techniques will change. “The Caddis, Blue Winged Olive and Pale Morning Dun hatches are unparalleled for producing large trout, and lots of them. The midseason hopper hatch offers some very exhilarating and explosive surface action,” Cutmore advises.

“Runs, or any water over 6 inches deep right next to the bank will hold trout and drifting a Dave’s or Letort Hopper along the grass will quickly erupt in a splashy battle. Depending on the time of year and conditions, you will have the opportunity to fish streamers, nymphs and dry flies all in the same day for large, strong fish.”

Bow River 1)

Blackfoot Trail Launch

Located under Cushing Bridge on Blackfoot Trail. A good launch point because it has a wide and slow section of water, but also some great holes and faster sections. This spot is an ideal starting point if the lower part of the river is blown out.

Glenmore Trail, Graves Landing

Under Graves Bridge on Glenmore Trail. People often start their day trips here. Between Graves Landing and Fish Creek Park it’s about 14 km, with lots of places to get out and wade or shore fish.

Fish Creek Park

Located at the south end of Fish Creek Park. This section of river to Policeman’s Flats has some great runs and deeper holes. This section is only 8 km long, and is perfect for a quick trip. Evenings are especially nice for fly fishers on this stretch.

Policeman’s Flats

East of Deerfoot Trail on Dunbow Rd. From here to the next launch point is about 23 km. This section of the river features some twisty, faster sections, several riffles and holes, and some places to get out and wade. Known for large fish, this launch is one of the busier sections of the river.

McKinnon Flats

This is the take-out point for day drifts from Fish Creek or Policeman’s Flats. It’s also a good spot to start a day long trip to Johnson’s Island (Carseland Weir). There is a good day-use area. This part of the river has good fishing both up and downstream. At dusk, cast to trout with Caddis patterns. To get here, head east on Hwy 22X, then south on Range Road. 274.

Legacy Island

This launch is on the north bank. Legacy Island is one take-out spot if you’re coming from McKinnon Flats. There are good spots for fishing on foot just upstream of here because the river is slower. There are lots of good runs and holes around here. This is also a really good spot for evening fishing.

Carseland Weir

Carseland Weir is the last spot for a take-out. It’s also a logical stopping point from a full day starting at McKinnon Flats. Right around here, the landscape and the river both change. Fishing is particularly excellent around this spot. If you want to start here, you can do a full day trip to “The Reserve” and back (the Blackfoot Reserve has no public land access to the river). At this point, there is less fishing pressure.

irch Lake, south of Rocky Mountain House, is known as a great ice fishing lake for brook trout, though anglers can find quality fishing year-round. Brook trout are generally a cool-water species. They are more active from late fall into early winter, but fishing can be uncertain at this time of year.

In contrast, January or February are better times of year because brookies tend to be more active than other trout during the winter. Spawning activity takes place around October.

Summer ﬁshing for brook trout can be more challenging. Spoons are attractive choices since their wobbling motion captures their interests. For larger trout, minnowshaped lures are good choices. LAKE ACCESS irch Lake lies south of Rocky Mountain House. Follow Hwy. 22 for 37 km to the junction with Hwy. 54. Turn left and continue for another ﬁve kilometres to a side road on the right. This is the turnoff to Burnstick Lake and it also leads to Birch Lake. Continue for about 10 km to an oil and gas service road on the right that leads to the lake.

There are a wide variety of birds in the montane landscape, as well as scenic views of the Livingsone Mountain Range.

Angler’s Atlas members coffie and techcd have posted several map markers on the Chain Lakes map page. They note that the north end can be weedy, and that there’s great fishing at the south end. As well, reports and photos all suggest that there is a great deal of good shore access, which means that you don’t have to have a boat to enjoy fabulous fishing.

Summer access is by foot. There is a picnic area near the lake with 10 sites. The day-use area is open year-round.

Ice fishing is best in December. Winter access is possible through the muskeg flat. Make sure to read through the 2016 fishing regulations to stay updated.
