Northern Boreal Fishing 2015 Free maps at www.AnglersAtlas.com

Northern Boreal takes its name from the forest that dominates the landscape of northern Al-berta.

It’s a wooded and watery expanse that encompasses all of the upper half of the province. Its four watershed zones, NB1-4, comprise most of the lakes in Alberta.

The Peace and Athabasca system alone drains an area of 600,000 km of Canada’s northern land mass. Water from B.C. to Saskatchewan flows northward, draining muskeg and spilling across the flats, stretching over

t h e horizon.

Fish abound in these waters. Anglers most often go after a hand-ful of species — yellow perch, northern pike, walleye, Arctic grayling, lake whitefish and lake trout.

People fish year-round for wall-eye, on and off the ice, but late spring and early summer are considered optimal, before the heat of the season drives the fish deeper.

In winter you’re more likely to hook into pike, perch, burbot and whitefish. They grow hungrier for bait due to a drop in natural food production. Ice fishing in Alberta is an institution in itself.

There is so much walleye and pike fishing in northern Alberta that anglers will want to take ad-vantage of trout where available.

The north-ern pothole lakes represent one such opportunity. Sulfur and Figure Eight lakes near Peace River and Swan Lake near Val-leyview offer great opportunities to catch brown, brook and rain-bow trout.

The north country is also lodge country, where scores of fly-in re-sorts and outfitters connect ven-turesome anglers with countless remote and relatively untouched lakes.

F o r families, occasional

anglers and those new to the sport, free fishing weekends of-fer a chance to get their feet wet twice a year. On two weekends, once in July and once in Febru-ary, anyone can fish in Alberta without a licence. The weekends coincide with National Fishing Day in summer and Alberta Fam-ily Day in winter in the interest of encouraging wider participation in fishing.

Amisk Lake lies at the western edge of the Bea-

ver River drainage basin. Long and narrow, the lake compris-es two basins nestled in the woods of picturesque Atha-basca county. The larger basin, the south ba-sin, is 60 metres deep while the north basin is 34 metres deep. Fishing has declined in re-cent years but the lake is still known for producing plenty of walleye. Both walleye and northern pike must be released. iFish Alberta user Ryan Flynn reports “lots of walleye in July. [I recommend] 11-15 feet of water just before the point entering the last cove.” Much of the shore remains un-developed, and iFish Alberta user Dominic suggests “troll-ing along the shore, using a Five of Diamonds.” Typical of deep parkland and boreal lakes in Alberta, Amisk has algae blooms and high phosphorous levels in mid to late summer.

LAKE ACCESSLatitude: 54.5977

Longitude: -112.6365

Amisk Lake is located in central Alberta approxi-

mately 175 km northeast of Edmonton and 15 km east of the village of Boyle, which lies south of Secondary Road 663. The lake’s main axis runs north-south. Skeleton Lake drains into Amisk Lake from the west, while Long Lake drains into Amisk Lake from the south. Waterfowl and shorebirds are abundant, especially in the shallow bays. A boat launch and day-use area are located on the north side. The lake was named after an abundance of beaver, or “amisk” in Cree.

QUICK FACTS

Baptiste Lake is a very productive, moderate-

sized lake in the County of Athabasca in central Alberta. The lake is comprised of two basins joined by a long neck

called the Narrows. Baptiste Lake is popular in the summer

with its fishing, primarily for yellow perch,

northern pike and walleye, as well as for boat-

ing and swimming. The walleye limit is zero, ex-cept the holder of a special Fish Harvest Licence and tags. Those license holders may re-tain walleye of a size, number and at the times specified on

the licence. The pike limit is 1 over 63 cm; Perch limit

is 15; Lake Whitefish limit is 10; and Burbot

limit is 10.Baptiste Lake is closed to all fishing Apr. 1 to May 14.

LAKE ACCESSLatitude: 54.7554Longitude: -113.5625

Located 165 km northwest of the city of Edmonton

and 16 km west of the town of Athabasca. Take Hwy. 2 west from Athabasca and follow an access road around the south end of the lake to a boat launch on the southwest corner. The summer village of White Gull, located at the north end of the lake, can be reached either from the ring road that goes around the south and west sides of the lake or from a sep-arate exit directly off Hwy. 2 at the north end of the lake. The summer village of Whispering Hills, located on the east side of the Narrows, has a separate exit from Hwy. 2. The road used to reach it does not con-nect with the ring road.There are three private camp-grounds and five summer vil-lages on the lake. The summer villages of Sunset Beach, South Baptiste and West Baptiste can be reached from a gravel road that goes around the south end of the lake.

QUICK FACTS


Located south of Lac La Biche, Beaver Lake is popular for boating and fishing. Beaver Lake’s main sport fish species are northern pike, yel-low perch, and walleye.The lake also supports commercial and domestic fisheries for lake whitefish. iFish Alberta user Sprint6m reports, “lots of smaller wall-eye and perch about 75 feet offshore, fun for kids.”In mid-July, iFish Alberta

user Bilski “fished off the dock and caught three jackfish a day within a couple hours. Good biting in the evening.“

Each year during the August long weekend,

the nearby town of Lac La Biche

holds the Blue

Feath-er Fish

Derby on Beaver Lake. As many as 2,000 anglers compete for major prizes.


From Edmonton, take Hwy. 28 north and east to Hwy.

36, then drive north to the town of Lac La Biche. A secondary road extends from Hwy. 36 to the northwest end

of the lake, where the commu-nity of Beaver Lake is located. Beaver Lake Provincial Recre-ation Area area has 140 camp-grounds, pump water, docks and boat launches, and a day-suse are with a picnic shelter, tables and firepits. The park does not have a sandy beach or designated swimming area, but that doesn’t discour-age swimmers.

QUICK FACTS

Calling Lake is a large, at-tractive recreational lake

noted for its sandy shore-line. The main sport fish are northern pike, yellow perch and walleye. “It’s no secret where the fish are biting in this lake; there are usually quite a few boats anchored right off the provin-cial boat launch,” says Brad Kowald, Angler’s Atlas field staff volunteer. Kowald and his friends Dann and Frank headed out last June and picked up several nice walleye using deep diving crank bait. “We had a few nice pike throughout the day, too, for the most part in the 60-70 cm range, although it seemed they would bite more often when we drifted into shallower water anywhere from 6-10 ft.The walleye limit is one, be-tween 45 cm and 55 cm. Pike limit is one over 63 cm; Perch limit is 15; Lake Whitefish limit is 10; and Burbot limit is 10. The lake is closed Apr. 1 to May 31, with all tributaries & the outlet downstream for 1 km is closed Nov. 1 to May 31.

LAKE ACCESSL a t i t u d e : 55.210335 L o n g i t u d e : -113.19332

Calling Lake is located bout

200 km north of Edmonton. The town of Athabasca, 55 km to the south, is the closest centre. The hamlet of Calling Lake is located on the lake’s eastern shore. From Edmonton, take Hwy. 2 north to Athabasca, then Sec-ondary Road 813 north to the hamlet and provincial park.

Calling Lake Provincial Park is a 741-hectare area the south-ern shore. The park is open from May to September and has 25 campsites, flush toilets, tap water, a boat launch, swim-ming and a picnic area.




Cold laKe

Surface Area• 37,300 Hectares

(92,167 Acres)





QUICK FACTS

Cold Lake has the distinction of being one of the best fishing lakes in two provinces. Cold Lake straddles the Alberta / Saskatchewan border, and is part of Saskatchewan’s excellent fish-ing park, Meadow Lake Provincial Park.Cold Lake is one of the deepest lakes in both Saskatchewan and Alberta, and offers numerous bays and shoals that are great places to cast a line.

C o l d Lake is

one of the few lakes in

Saskatchewan that offer fishing

for lake trout. This slow-growing species can be fabu-lous fishing. Lakes this size can be both intimi-dating and appealing. Despite its popularity, it is possible to find quiet fishing spots here. Anglers can fish here frequently and still not cover the whole lake. Motorboats are use-ful here to help make the most of your time on the lake.

With such vast territory, and so many fish species present in the

lake (a dozen is a conservative estimate), it is vital to familiar-ize yourself with the freshwater fishing regulations for both

Saskatchewan and Alberta. Fishing licenses for

both provinces are valid in Cold

Lake.

LAKE ACCESS

CraNe (Moore) laKe



(2,456 Acres)





QUICK FACTS

Crane Lake, also known as Moore Lake, is one of several lakes in the Cold Lake area. Sport fish species in the lake are walleye, northern pike, yel-low perch and lake whitefish. During the summer, Crane Lake can get busy, making it tricky to catch larger pike and perch. The lake is popular in winter for ice fishing.Multiple iFish Alberta us-ers recommend casting a line or drilling a hole near Bodina Resort. As user Tkaminski ex-plains, “lots of pike action just off the shore at Bodina Resort. 10 feet of water is where the pike are cruising. Any shal-lower or deeper and you will get nothing.”The lake water turns from clear to green in lake summer and early fall. Aquatic plant life is limited to only a few areas such as the west basin. This lack of v e g e t a t i o n

limits fish spawning and feed-ing habitat in the lake.The sport fishery in the lake’s inlet and outlet streams is closed for a period during April and May each year.Other popular spots in the area include Hilda Lake and Tucker Lake, both of which are also known for their ice-fishing op-portunities.

There are two provincial recre-ation areas on the south shore of the lake, Moore Lake East and Moore Lake West. Both parks have boat launches and campsites.



dolBerg laKe

Dolberg Lake is a popular fishing spot northwest of

Barrhead. Each year, the lake is stocked with 18,000 rainbow trout, helping to sustain a thriv-ing fishery.Bait is permitted in Dolberg Lake and trout will often key in on shrimp or maggots, particu-larly for ice fishing.“Good little lake, good fishing” writes Angler’s Atlas user martin78. “[I] will definitely be back.”Another Angler’s Atlas user, lancetay, jokes, “there are no fish here, nothing to see, move along,” while holding a fat 6- to 8-lb. rainbow. iFish Alberta user Dickweed reports “nice rainbows, power bait marshmallows and pink or green trout power bait, on snell hook and bob-ber, just keeping it easy for the kids.”Some of the best fishing here is in the fall. Fly fishing can be particularly productive when the waterboatmen are hatching.

QUICK FACTS

Fawcett Lake can be an angler’s dream. There are so many opportu-nities, the question will be how to keep up with them all.Ray Kohlruss from Reel Angling Adventures, says that Fawcett is a big lake, and the best locations will depend on such things as weather and time of day. It also depends on the species you target.When going after perch, Kohlruss suggests a Marmish hook tipped with maggots, meal worms or min-nows. Head down between 15 and 30 feet, and try to stay near the steep drop-offs.The rocks around the islands are also good locations, as the rocks will act as cover. Try the east end of the lake near the boat launch, too, for a good starting point.If walleye are more your thing, Kohlruss emphasises that smaller is better. “With walleye, less is more,” he says. Try small pink ladies, jigs tipped with minnows, or small perch hooks with maggots.“Pike will go after just about any-thing,” says Kohlruss, but a starting point is a small jig head and min-now. Head about 100 feet out from

the boat

launch, down up to 30 feet deep. The pike in Fawcett Lake are in about the 6 lb range, though some as big as 25 lbs have been known to come out.Burbot are an excellent ice-fishing target. Kohlruss says that in warmer weather they’re more river fish than lake fish. In winter, however, they are feeding heavily in the lakes and are growing more than they do in warmer weather. They spawn in February, he says, and that is the perfect time to head out for a day of ice fishing.Please make sure you consult the Alberta Guide to Sportfishing Regulations before heading out. Fawcett Lake has several different regulations in place, and there is a closure in effect on the northeast side for part of the spring.A guided trip is also a great idea. Ray Kohlruss of Reel Angling Adventures, guides in many north-central area lakes, including Fawcett. Check out his website at reelangling.com.

LAKE ACCESS


To reach Fawcett Lake, start from

the town of Smith, 123 km north of Westlock or 73 km east of Slave Lake.

Once in Smith, cross the river

and follow the signs east and north for

27 km to Fawcett Lake.

Fawcett Lake Provincial Recreation Area is located on the west side of the lake and includes 58 campsites, though they are un-serviced. The park also includes a day use area and boat launches.

Island Lake pro-vides habitat for

some of Alberta’s larg-est bird species, and where there are waterfowl, there are fish. While northern pike are con-sidered the main sport fish species in the lake, anglers can sometimes catch walleye, even when casting from the dock. Ice fishing for perch during the winter is also popular.Densely rooted vegetation in regions around the lake pro-vides healthy spawning and feeding habitat, enabling many fish species to live in the lake.Lake whitefish are exceptional-ly large in Island Lake, but they

can be fussy. This is a good time to experiment with your lures or flies.One of the islands is home to a colony of great blue herons. On another island, the trees su-port immense eagle nests. Island Lake Days are celebrat-ed each July.


The lake is located in the County of Athabasca,

about 20 km northwest of the

town of Athabas-ca.

The lake’s west side is ac-cessible from Hwy. 2, which

passes north through Atha-basca from Edmonton then along Island Lake enroute to the town of Slave Lake.There are several public access points on the west shores at the Summer Villages. On the east shore, there are two boat launches, one at the day-use area, the other at the camp-ground. Island Lake Campground offers a day-use area, boat launch, dock, pier, firewood and a fish-cleaning station. There are 11 unserviced camp-sites with well water. There is no public access by vehicle to the south shore.

QUICK FACTSLac La Biche is a pictur-

esque lake most popular for its walleye and northern pike fishing. Perch are also caught in the lake. Because of its popu-larity and abundance of fish, the angling pressure can be intense.Lac La Biche is stocked with nearly 25,000 walleye, part of efforts to rehabilitate the lake. Lac La Biche is not part of the walleye tag system and the walleye fishery is catch and re-

lease only.While the perch can be more plentiful at times, pike fishing brings with it the excitement of

landing the big one.iFish Alberta user Bilski reports “good fishing by the c a u s e w a y . Jackfish will

Lots of algae in the water [but] went out into the middle and the water is clear. Caught a 75cm jackfish using a heavy Krocodile silver lure.”Lac La Biche is relatively shal-low and in many parts can be weedy during the summer

months. The best time for fishing here is spring and fall, although ice fishing is a big draw as well.

QUICK FACTS

Walleye, pike, perch, whitefish and burbot are all caught in Lac La Nonne. Lac La Nonne is a tagged lake for walleye, which means that anglers need to win a special tag to allow for wall-eye fishing.iFish Alberta user Snoop-ster writes, “we caught [wall-eye by] trolling with a bottom bouncer and walleye rig with a worm. Beautiful day!”Perch are easy to catch in Lac La Nonne, and can provide a great introduction to angling. Northern pike are also big catches during the summer, as well as during the winter for ice fishing. This well-developed lake is a great place to take the kids

because it offers a variety of recre-ation on and off the water. Tributaries are closed to sport fishing for a designated period during April and May. Most of the lake is free of boating re-strictions, but there are posted areas where boats are prohib-ited or where power boats have limited speeds of 12 km/hr.La Nonne means “the nun” in French, but the lake is believed to have been named for a duck, the white-winged scoter, known in England as a nun.

lesser slave laKe west

Alberta’s great sport fish, the walleye, is now in relative-

ly plentiful supply again thanks to a recovery program imple-mented a few years back. Lesser Slave Lake --the province’s largest accessible water body-- remains Alberta’s walleye capi-tal, offering marinas and resorts to service anglers.

Walleye are the m o s t

p o p u -lar fish in Lesser Slave Lake, though they are certainly not the only ones. Whitefish, burbot, yellow perch and pike also provide ample op-portunity for a catch.

Tony Gellings of Adventure Alberta says that maggots and mealworms are good for perch.

For pike, anglers should go big. Wally Garrick of Reel-In Resort/Southshore Fishing Adventures suggests a tip-up

rig with a big herring or a Nor-wegian Sardine. Gellings adds, “the pike will bite on anything. If they’re out there, you’ll catch them.”

He also notes that more people are becoming interested in fish-ing for burbot. The limits are higher -10- and they are tasty,

despite their appear-

ance.

In winter, the ice fishing is simply spec-

tacular on Lesser Slave Lake and there is no better time to plan a getaway.

Lesser Slave Lake is one of the best walleye fisheries in Alberta and the action is just heating up when the water freezes. Garrick says that ice fish-ing is a big deal in the area.

Typically, there are tournaments around Free Fishing Weekend in February, and if the ice is ready to go, there are fireworks and celebrations in Joussard on News Year’s Eve.

Garrick advises that when go-ing after walleye, your priority should be structure. “Typically, fishing near underwater structure is most effective, so right ot the

mid-dle or

bottom of a dropoff.”

That is where the fish will hold for the winter.

Once you locate the structure, your setup can be as simple

as a jig head and minnow. Try jig-ging a smaller Cleo, Len Thomp-son, or Swedish Pimple. Use an 8 lb. test line with the spoon or jig tied on directly and your minnow out behind the jig. Head for the deep water, again right down to the bottom.

Keep in mind t h a t

regu-lations prohibit the use of live bait.

In most cases, walleye are caught during during low light condititions such as dawn, dusk, or cloudy days. Garrick notes, however, that on Lesser Slave Lake many anglers fish produc-tively right through the night. Here a hut is welcome in winter.

Businesses around the lake rent

ice huts, from the simple shelter to the elaborate setup with beds and stoves. Outfitters have these huts located all over the ice, available for rent all winter long.

The Lesser Slave Lake region ca-ters to all winter enthusiasts. The sparkling snow is ideal for snow-

shoe-ing and cross-country skiing and there are ample skating opportuni-ties. Bring your gear, or rent from one of the many outfitters in the area.

LAKE ACCESS


From Edmonton, drive north on Hwy. 2 for about 56 km.

Turn left at Hwy. 18.

At Westlock, turn right onto Hwy. 44 (104th street). Continue on Hwy. 44 for about 104 km, and then for approximately 100 km after Hwy. 44 merges again with Hwy 2. Follow the signs for

various access points along the lake.

Lesser Slave Lake Provincial Park

is 22km north of the town of

Slave Lake and there

are win-t e r

camp-ing options available. Marten River campground, with-in the provincial park, has 111 sites as well as a day-use area. The park includes many services like hiking trails, interpretive

programs, and a group camping area.

Hilliard’s Bay Provincial Park is also located along the lake, along the northwest shore. From Slave Lake, drive west along Hwy. 2 for 100 km and then turn north onto Hwy. 750 for approximately 30 km until reaching Hilliard’s

Bay. The campground has 164 sites, a day use area, and a boat launch.

The communities of Widewa-ter, Joussard, Faust, and Kinu-so all make good locations for outfitting, hiring a guide, and

finding accommodations.

As Garrick and Gellings note, it is also a good idea to talk to lo-cals before heading out onto the lake, particularly to get informa-tion about spots to avoid.

QUICK FACTS

Long Lake is a pretty lake set in a steep-sided, heavi-

ly wooded valley in the County of Thorhild. The lake follows a glacial meltwater channel through a steep-sided, forested valley. Anglers at Long Lake find the pike and walleye fishing rewarding even if they are on the small side. Whitefish and yellow perch are also found in Long Lake, but fishing can be slower. Brad Kowald, an Angler’s Atlas field staff volunteer based out of Edmonton, says jigging is a productive tech-nique in what is generally a catch-and-release fishery. “[Long Lake] mostly has smaller pike and a few wall-eye. That’s what most people catch a lot. The limit is 63 cm and you’d be lucky to get one that’s 63 cm.”Long lake has been locally popular for recreational use since the early part of the 20th century. Multiple iFish Al-berta users praise the lake as be-

ing great to take kids. As user Pike22 suggests, “fishing from shore would be difficult at best as the weeds are quite estab-lished. Fishing from the flotation pier is possible but can’t a c c o m m o d a t e many people.”

QUICK FACTS


Large and lovely, Moose Lake supports a healthy

population of lake trout and walleye, both of which tend to prefer to cooler water tempera-tures. The Moose Lake Walleye Classic is held each year at the end of June, and the lake is a great spot for family fishing. While not exceptionally deep, the lake has some varied shoreline and steep drop-offs.

iFish Alberta user Toad9414 recommends to “look at the depth chart and troll the chan-nel that runs between the two shallow spots. [We caught] 32 fish in four hours!”Moose Lake is also home to bur-bot, whitefish, pike, and perch. Catch limits and certain regula-tions are specific to Moose Lake. Please be sure to familiarize yourself with limits and closures before heading out.


Moose Lake lies northwest of Bonnywille. From the

town, follow Hwy. 41 north for five kilometres. Then turn left on Secondary Hwy. 660 and continue for another 10

Muriel laKe






QUICK FACTS

Muriel Lake fish popula-tions struggled for years

because the lake level was gradually but significantly falling. Then came a double whammy --a winter fish kill in 2010-2011. Despite having lost half of its depth and most of its fish, the lake can still give up the occasional pike. According to the Muriel Lake Management Society, the level of the lake has dropped four metres from 1975 levels. At its deepest, Muriel is only five metres deep, about half of what it was when the lake supported thriving sport, domestic, and commercial fisheries. All be-gan to decline in the 1970s along with the lake levels. Authorities tend to blame this situation on dry climate condi-tions since the 1980s but local residents believe there is more behind the problem, citing industry and develop-ment. The fish kill five years ago was linked to the shallowness of the lake and may have extirpated the perch, walleye and whitefish. LAKE ACCESS:


Muriel Lake is 13 km south of the town of

Bonnyville and 200 km north-east of Edmonton. From Ed-monton, follow Hwys. 28 and 28A north and east to Bonny-ville.At the junction of Hwys. 28 and 41, at 55th Street in Bonnyville, turn south onto the Gurneyville Road. This road joins Secondary Road 657 south of the locality of Gurneyville on

North Buck Lake is a large, shallow lake northeast of

Edmonton. Like many shal-low lakes, North Buck is best fished early or late in the sea-son. North Buck Lake is home to

perch and pike.

Pike prefer weedier areas and will ambush their prey. They are also indis-criminate feeders and tend to follow a wide variety of lures. Their teeth are razor shape and they are strong fighters. Bear this in mind when selecting

your gear. Perch are eager biters as well, though not as fierce as pike. They are fun for kids to catch. This makes perch a bonus for families because they are small, enabling young anglers to confidently handle them.Most iFish Alberta users dis-cuss tips for ice fishing in win-ter. The lake is popular for ice fishing.

athaBasCa river

The Athabasca River, which originates from the Columbia

icefield in Jasper National Park, is fished for walleye, Rocky Moun-tain whitefish and northern pike as well as bull, brown and rainbow trout.

Draining northward, the historic Athabasca journeys 1,231 km be-fore it meets the Peace River. The river’s upper reaches, silty and swift, are not ideal fish habitat, but fly anglers do fish this stretch for Dolly Varden, Rocky Moun-tain whitefish and rainbows. Early spring and summer, when the river flows clearest, are best.

You can also catch Arctic gray-ling, goldeye and burbot in the Athabasca River.

Ray Kohlruss, from Reel An-gling Adventures, says that when you’re going after grayling, “they usually will attack insects on the surface, and they like sitting along the fast and slow current areas. Most of the grayling I catch are on the tributaries of the Athabasca. Small dry flies, such as nymphs or hoppers work good for them. Most of the grayling fishing is also closer to the mountains, they pre-fer to stay away from walleye. I would use a 4 wt. fly rod, also you can use a spinning rod with small spinners.”

A small population of rainbow trout are found in the Athabasca.

They can grow as large as 5 lbs. and are known to rise to dry flies in midsummer.

When lake fishing slows down at the height of summer, some an-glers switch to fishing for northern pike in the river.

The Athabasca River is open to angling for only certain periods of time (check the regulations for dif-ferent sections). A mercury advi-sory is in place for walleye caught downstream from Fort McMurray. Check the regulations for details.

Kohlruss says that spring and late summer are the best times for fish-ing in the Athabasca River. Kohl-russ operates his guiding service, fishing the river regularly.

The Athabasca River is great for fishing both by boat or from the shore, and there are numerous places to do so. If you’re going to venture out into the river by boat, Kohlruss says he recommends us-ing a jet boat.

For anglers wanting to get a feel for the river, Kohlruss advises that in general, there are some places to consider starting. He suggests fishing the slow seams of the river from the main current.

It’s a good idea to look out for sharp curves in the river, he says. Try fishing near, “tributary rivers or creeks, back sloughs of the river and islands,” he notes.

Outdoor Canada, in their article about fishing the Athabasca River with Kohlruss, has some sugges-tions for how to find the best spots in a river. The inflows of creeks are good, they say, because the in-flowing water will scour out deep-er holes, making for prime walleye habitat.

As well, darker colours can indi-cate deeper holes, as can slower water, since flowing water will slow down as it goes over deeper spots. The fish prefer the deeper spots in a river for the simple rea-son that it’s easier for them, with less current to work against.

Kohlruss echoes this wisdom. “With bends in the river it will slow down the current, which makes it easier to fish, and more fish hold in the slower currents. For slow seams it is where the fast and slow current meets. I like fishing on the slower current, this is where most fish will hang out and it is easier to for them to ambush their prey as fish swim into these areas.

Poacher’s Landing is a popular put-in spot, and from there, there is easy access to some of these tributaries. Others, such as the LaBiche River and the Calling River, are a little harder to access. The Calling River, for example, is challenging to access the best fish-ing spots.

Parts of the Athabasca River and

its tributaries can see a lot of an-gling pressure. However, Kohlruss says that there are also times when you might be the only one fishing on any given day.

With a river this size, there are dozens of potential launch points. Kohlruss suggests the launches at Hinton, Blue Ridge, Fort As-siniboine, Klondike Ferry, Smith, Athabasca, Poacher’s Landing, and Fort MacMurray.

Ray Kohlruss has been fishing the Athabasca river and area lakes since childhood, and guiding since 2003 on such waters as the Athabasca River, Calling Lake, Fawcett Lake, and many other lakes in the region. He is proud to be a Pro Staff of Abu Garcia, Berkley, Fenwick Rods, and Pflueger. He’s been on fishing shows such as The Fishn Canada Show, Trigger Effect, and Dimestore.
