jjthom2 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Tonight I caught what I'm sure was a lake whitefish on the Red Deer tailwater section. Has anyone else ever caught one here? How did they get in the river? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbowtrout Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I've never fished that area but I know you can catch them below Ghost Dam. I'm sure they get out during the run off when the gate's are open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aguabonita Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Caught many lake whites in the red deer below the dam, up to about 6 lbs. They're present in most major river systems in Alberta, but I expect their numbers are usually pretty low, however, there are quite a few below dickson dam. They tend to hang out below the spillway.
