Flypodz Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I would like to go up near the mountains and do some hiking back to a nice fishing spot. Are there any suggestions as to where I might make a trip to for camping and fishing in some of the streams/rivers near the rockies. preferably an hour or two away from calgary. Thansk for any help you might have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefrog Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Welcome Flypodz Pick up the two volumes of a book called The Kananaskis Country Trail Guide - also Barry Mitchell's Alberta Fishing Guide, then dig in. There are literally dozens of places that would qualify. I don't where to start. Just get out and enjoy the summer! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also very grateful that I managed to do this before I broke my ankle in October as it seems it will not ever be the same and has put an end to my backpacking days. Lesson learned: life(health) is short, live every day well!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBBrownie Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 May I recommend Frenchmans Creek? The fish are the biggest around and always bitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reevesr1 Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 I don't know how many times I've looked, and I can never find that Frenchman's Creek! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tadpole Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 I don't know how many times I've looked, and I can never find that Frenchman's Creek! i found frenchmans creek once. i was driving along and made a quick stop to fill up my halogen fluid, when i noticed i lost my transmission. good thing that truck had two of em. i drove over to the closest garage and he told me my tranlipital spanner was shot and i would need a new fufu valve and gigling pin as well. so he said it would take about 2 hours so i saw a little creek in the back and decided to hit it up while my truck was getting fixed. what a beautiful creek. it was maybey 5ft wide non stop pool after pool and browns were all at least 20 30inches long. every cast yeilded trout after trout on high floating dries. what a day. sorry for the hijack.

trailhead Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 The Palliser River outside of Banff Park in BC is Classified. Where did you pick it up your daily permit and pay the $20? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
