Non-Classified waters near Sparwood???

[Smitty]

Hi Everyone:

 

I'm not trying to horn in on anyone's secret spots, but can someone tell me if there is non-classified water near Sparwood? The only thing I can find is the Flathead river.

I ask, because my nephew has a summer job down there. He bought his annual non-res license and wants to fish. Trouble is, $21 per day does add up when you are a student trying to save money.

Anyways. if anyone has suggestions, I'd appreciate them. I used to know the area somewhat well, but now, not so much. Plus, I've noticed formerly unclassified systems are now classified, as you drive north from Cranbrook. So...I don't know!

Pm me if you prefer.

Cheers,

Smitty

Lots of good lakes, but for rivers, he wasted his money for that area.

Gold creek and kootenay river would be the closest besides flathead, but better water on the east slopes.

If he's in the Koocanusa area Sand Creek downstream from the southernmost bridge in Jaffray holds some cutties and is non-classified.
