Guest bigbadbrent Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 Ton's of spots, fish creek is just the most convenient. Can go to Policemans Flats, Mack Flats, Carseland, Southland Dog Park, Glenmore bridge anywhere there is access, there will be fish, winter is just tougher to find em Quote

sirocco Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 Keep in mind that the edworthy area isn't open right now. Check the regs before heading out! Quote

ladystrange Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 Is there a speical fly rod and reel for winter fishing? Or is it the same as summer fishing? If I use the one I have / got this summer will I ruin it? Will the line crack? Thank-you. in answer to the other question. i use the same rods, reels and lines year round. no cracks in the fly line yet, but i also dont fly fish that much in the winter. just dont leave your wet icy gear in the vehicle when it's -20. take it inside, get it warm, dry and cleaned up you should be golden. you could also try the southland dog park or enter from carburn park in river bend or the far east end of 46th SE below the other sewage treatment plant Quote

sirocco Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 wow, haha i feel stupid. my bad, thanks for the correction Quote
Conor Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 Winter is hard on fly line, I've found. I wouldn't use a band new line in the winter unless it has a warrantee. We don't buy gear to hang it on the wall, however:) Quote
