KANANASKIS LAKES

While most of the Alpine Lakes of K.Country (Kananaskis Country) will be unavailable prior to the 15th of June (check your Alberta Regs.) - the following locations offer tremendous Spring fishing. The UPPER & LOWER KANANASKIS LAKES located at the South end of highway 40

The Upper Lake is primarily a Rainbow Trout fishery, while it can be fished from shore either at the boat launch bay, or at the Inter-Lakes outflow end I do recommend a float tube, Pontoon Boat or other watercraft

(Water-craft can be rented at The Green Drake Fly shop & a few other locations in the area.)

The Lower Kananaskis Lake is predominantly a Bull Trout fishery with spring time offering excellent opportunities to

Present to these very aggressive predators. For the Bull Trout present streamers, Zonkers, Bow River buggers, and Clouser-Minnows. Bulls will rise to flies such as large skating Caddis, particularly at Sundown, however most of the sipping fish you will encounter on the Lower "K" Lake will be RainBows and Cutthroat.
