Sylvan Lake and Wabamun Lake both showcase some of the best of the north. Farther south, the lakes are accessible and productive, and are perfect for family outings. Both the open water season and ice fishing are popular, and Albertans are not afraid of the cold! Albertans are some of Canada’s most avid ice anglers, and with good reason. From Battle to Keho, Sherburne to Wizard, Alberta lakes are prime ice fishing destinations. Part of this is due to the wide variety of species in Alberta lakes. Lake whitefish, yellow perch and northern pike are customarily the most soughtafter sport species, although walleye fishing has grown in popularity through reservoir stocking.

asse Lake is another relatively shallow lake, one of the region’s many pothole lakes. These lakes are called pothole lakes because they have no inlet or outlet. These are generally very productive lakes and provide excellent habitat for fish.

Reports from summer 2014 suggest the trout numbers are low, but there are still big jackfish to be hooked. After a severe winter kill in 2010, the province continues to stock the lake with perch and pike instead of reverting back to a trout fishery.
Hasse Lake used to be a local favourite and can still be a good place for a family ice fishing trip. In recent years, reports are that fishing had been slow. However, after a couple of years of downturn, it appears that fish stocks may be rebounding.

General provincial regulations apply here. At one time, Hasse Lake was stocked with rainbow trout, as were many pothole lakes, but this was discontinued because of illegal stocking of pike and perch.

S
cenic Jack Fish Lake is a structurally interesting lake with many bays, shoals and islands that enhance its productivity. As the name suggests, this is a good spot for northern pike. If the big ones aren’t biting, there is always perch and burbot to go after. The walleye fishery, unfortunately, remains closed but the lake still has some larger walleye. Many iFish Alberta users report great fishing right from the dock. As mikkdundee writes, “fished [in] the morning from about 7am until 12pm and caught 35 walleye from the dock. Insane fishing!” Ice fishing is also popular in winter, and Jack Fish Lake’s close proximity to Edmonton makes it a popular spot for a an easy day trip. As a result, the lake gets quite busy during the summer months.

allas Houser, manager at Lethbridge Dodge, and former fishing guide, gets really excited about fishing in the Oldman River. “There really are hundreds of fish per kilometre there,” making it hard to choose just a few favourite spots. If he had to narrow it down, Houser has three favourite spots on the tailwaters of the Oldman River: Cottonwood Park for rainbow trout (Inset 1), the one kilometre stretch downstream of Fort MacLeod by Hwy 811 (Inset 2), and the train bridge by Hwy 3 for goldeye (Inset 3).

These are some of his favourite patterns for the Oldman River as a whole, not just in the Lethbridge area.

Please ensure you are familiar with the provincial fishing regulations before heading out. The lake has seen some changes in the past several years. At present, a tag system is in place for catching walleye. Try a jighead with a minnow for starters. This may be all you need for a lot of action. Interestingly, commercial licenses were issued for Pigeon Lake in the 1920’s with a market for its fish in New York and Chicago. After only a few years, licenses were no longer issued as stocks became heavily depleted. Stocks replenished returning Pigeon Lake to the healthy fishery we know today. In the summer months, bluegreen algae sometimes grows.

Fishing from a boat is the way to go on Sylvan Lake because shore fishing opportunities are limited. Some of the shallower areas around the shoreline are more likely to hold pike, while perch can often be found in deeper sections. Multiple iFish Alberta users recommend using minnows as bait. Ice fishing is especially popular on Sylvan Lake. Numerous iFish Alberta users report catching whitefish during the winter months.
