Chestermere Lake

[robert]

Itching to do some chuck and duck for pike but i'm reading the chestermere boat launch bylaw and i'm not sure if I would need to register to launch the tube in the lake.

 

Anyone fish there from a tube and know if one needs to register? Tubes don't seem to be covered in the bylaw.

Looks like you only have to pay if you use the boat launch and parking area. Launch somewhere else and you should be fine. Or just pay the $10.00

 

 

RESIDENTS of the Town of Chestermere who use the Boat Launch facility at John Peake Park, MUST REGISTER THEIR BOATS/WATERCRAFT at the town office or boat launch.

 

 

•Non-residents or anyone who does not have Boat Launch decal are required to pay the following fees to launch their Boat / Personalized Watercraft / Non Motorized Watercraft if using the boat launch for the day:"

 

 

c) Non motorized watercraft (e.g. canoe/kayak/boat with motor under 10 hp) $10/day/non motorized watercraft

Finally got out there with the tube this weekend, didn't bother with the chuck and duck. Took the spincast.

 

The pike in that lake have to be the smelliest i've ever caught, was going to snap a pic of a 4 or 5 pounder I caught but it stunk too bad. Couldn't wait to get it off the tube. Caught a dozen this weekend, all the same. yuck.

 

Some nice to get the tube out again tho

That is why it has always been referred to as 'Chesterslough'....

Good word for it.

 

It's days like these that I miss some of Edmonton's potholes for pike. Devils lake was so much fun in the tube it should have been illegal.
