BARRIER
LAKE

A fishery much
overlooked by Fly-fishers fishes particularly well at the South end in spring time, in the
area of the Kananaskis River inflow. The mud flats of this Delta are exposed to a
tremendous amount of heat prior to snowmelt and as the level of the lake increases with
inflows of the K.River, much like a dessert after a rainstorm these superheated mud flats
explode with aquatic vegetation,
MIDGE and CADDIS flies adorn the table so to speak, and the lakes
residents gravitate to the feast at this end of the Lake. Again small personal watercraft
are ideal, while wading is possible. Use extreme caution while wading, as many of what
were small valleys between these "Mud Dunes" while they were above water now
become deep troughs most being better than 10 feet submerged.
