Eastern Slopes Alberta’s Eastern Slopes region, an area spanning 90,000 sq. km, 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 km north until reaching the Peace country. This expansive region includes the cities of Lethbridge, Calgary, Canmore, Hinton, Whitecourt, and Grande Prairie.

Please note that the Eastern Slopes region does not include Banff or Jasper National Parks. For information on fishing regulations in Canada’s national parks, please visit Parks Canada’s website at www.pc.gc.ca. 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. Broad ridges and rolling hills of aspen, spruce and lodgepole pine overlook these watersheds. The foothills provide some unusually quick transitions from mountains to prairies, providing anglers with stunning scenery to photograph their trophy fish. Angler’s Atlas users can post pictures of their catches online at www.AnglersAtlas.com.
Cold, clear mountain streams favour cutthroat, bull, brook and rainbow trout. Upper 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 near Rocky Mountain House and Hinton.

ocated within Chain Lakes Provincial Park, this reservoir provides fabulous fishing opportunities for numerous species of trout: rainbow, brook, bull, and cutthroat.
While the Chain Lakes are heavily stocked — some of the heaviest in the province with around 100,000 rainbow trout released in 2013— the popularity of these lakes means that most of the fish are in the smaller range of about 12 inches.
spoons are good hardware choices for consistent catches. If you are trolling in these lakes, bear in mind the speed restriction of 12 km/h.
Use of bait fish is not permitted in any water in the drainage basin, and no bait of any sort is allowed in streams.

D
o not let their small size fool you — Kinky and Wildhorse Lakes offer good fishing. Regularly stocked with brook trout, brown trout and rainbows, these lakes are consistent producers and great for kids.
None of the lakes in this group are very deep, so if the season is especially warm, they are apt to feel the summer doldrums. Spring and fall are best. If winter ice fishing is preferred, Kinky Lake produces a good supply of brook trout.
Be extremely careful, however, as there are parts of this lake that do not freeze well due to springs and faster flowing water.

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.
If you are trolling, go slowly. Try to troll just fast enough for your lure to work, but no faster. Silver and blue combinations are good colours to try, as well as Williams Warbler and Loco spoons. Jigging is worthwhile for targetting burbot, using a Little Cleo or Krok. In fact, many anglers will hook burbot when ice fish-
ing for lake trout.

Troll spoons or jig near the bottom, but not on the bottom. Burbot prefer the depths and cooler water. LAKE ACCESS Latitude: 53.4607 Longitude: -118.2647

Snipe Lake S
nipe Lake is a popular spot for ice fishing, and the action continues consistently all year.
Gerry Williscroft of Snipe Lake South Shore Resort says that pike and perch are the big draws. Both species are plentiful and “you can almost get them as soon as you drop your line.”

LAKE ACCESS Latitude: 55.1291 Longitude: -116.7748
For perch, Williscroft suggests using small lures during the evening. Try bright colours in low light. Head straight out from the boat launch about 100 metres.
A Five of Diamonds or a Red Devil are good choices for pike, although Williscroft remembers how he caught a 13lb. walleye last summer using a Five of Diamonds.
There are several different places on the lake that are especially productive. The southeast corner just out from the spawning area is a good choice. On the east edge, around the corner from the campground, anglers have good luck just out from the community water plant.
