Hello everyone, I am new here, my name is Jean-Pierre (Jeep for short), I am 29 years old and live in Laval Quebec ( 5 minutes north of Montreal).
I found this forum while Googling for info on fishing in Lake Minnewanka and figured I could post on here to get the info I need to have the best experience I can on this lake.
I noticed that alot of you are experienced fisherman and I really need your help. I am used to fishing in medium to large rivers here in Quebec but have no experience what so ever with fishing trout in large lakes.
In the first week of August me and my girlfriend are gonna spend 1 week in Alberta visiting Edmonton Calgary and Banff. When we get to Banff we are gonna take 1 full day and go fishing on Lake Minnewanka and I have a couple of questions.
First, can we keep and eat the fish caught in Lake Minnewanka or is it a C'n'R lake?
I would love to catch some trout, any kind of trout, small and big, what kind of lures can I buy to make that happen?
Is there a site on the web that gives a precise listing of all the species of fish that can be caught in Lake Minnewanka?
Is there anything special I need to know about Lake Minnewanka like Laws I need to be aware of?
Any of you have a few tricks or techniques to use on this lake to optimise my chances of catching trout?
Wow thats a long post I just wrote, I thank you in advance for reading my post and am looking forward to reading your replies.
Thank you very much and have a good night.
