Fished the south shore last night. It was more of a mud hole than a scenic city spot. The water was incredibly low. I saw one whitefish jump, that was about it. I probably wont come back until the water is higher.

Yup, opens May 1 and due to the renovation on the dam they've dropped the water level by almost 12 feet. You can actually see the depression in the ice where it has settled on the bottom and dropped down into the old river channel. Should be an interesting year on Glenmore.

Glenmore reservoir is closed for the winter. Opens again May 1.

How thick is the ice

I fish there every weekend whole summer, mostly hit and run, caught a large size pike around 23 inch... its a nice relaxing spot, fishing just the bonus...

Went out on my kayak for a few hours this evening and C&R'd 5 pike ranging from 13"-17". Had quite a few larger pike following the small ones I caught but the bigger ones weren't biting.

@Thegaddiman

I was out for about 3hrs yesterday on my kayak. C&R'd and took pics of the 9 pike I landed ranging in size from 12"-23", lost 3 beside my kayak. I think I found the old river bed, was about 30ft wide and covered with long grass not the cabbage weeds you see closer to the shore.

Shame on your race discrimination! You are not a Canadian!

This reservoir would be a good place to fish if people weren't keeping every tiny yearling pike they catch. Not much chance for fish to get big. Why oh why would anyone in their right mind feel the need to keep an eight inch pike?

Great morning on Glenmore! Big pike and a monster brown trout! Bigger than the blade on my kayak paddle!

Good pike action
View on Map

Good action for a couple hours last night from the kayak. Three to the boat and half a dozen almost. Just off shore under the oil derrick.

Very murky waters, out for an hour no fish. 2 jumped right as I left. Not great fishing

Fished for 8 hours on Monday by the South Shore and caught 1 22" pike on lure. Not a whole lot of action.

Anyone been fishing the South Shore since it opened up? Tips appreciated

Fished for 5 hours and caught a whole lot of nothing. Few bites. Lost a lure in the process.

12" pike with 5 of diamonds lure just before sunset casting in to the weeds just off shore.

Went out for a 2 day trip with a buddy and fished for about 13 hours combined and only caught one 15" pike. Had a big trout on my line but it got away. Fought for about 5 minutes with it. 1 pike in 2 days isn't great. Had fun though. Nice looking lake. Good scenery in south Calgary.

what type of bait is being use here?

Caught a 6 pound brown trout this evening. East of the canoe club.

No motors or inflatable craft allowed

Are you allowed electric motors? Or gas?

Caught 2 small pile just north west of dock. Bald eagle swooped in and grabbed one of them!

2 12" in an hour this evening between boat ramp and the rock point S.E. corner. Trusty 5 of diamonds.

I've caught too many pike to keep count down at the reservoir. South shoreline. Average size has been around 20" and landed two over 30" 8lbs. Its a little merky in most places right now but the far west corner has been great fun. I've tried many different methods and a 3 1/2" rubber brook trout has brought me the most hits. Good luck fellow anglers.

Went there in May 28,2016.

Got a couple small pike north of the canoe club today. Pretty slow for three hours of casting.

Tried the mouth of the elbow today for about an hour and a half. No luck.

Been really slow latly been 5 times and only 2 Browns 2-3 pounds ps I'm the guy that got that epic record brown

7 inch pike

Fished north shore this morning for 3 hours nothing.

How big would you say the brown trout was that got caught the other day?

Caught a 3 pound and a 5 pound pike today a little east of the sailing club. Was using a storm rubber pike jig.

Twice I went here, yesterday and today. Only got 2 tiny pikes. Not as good as it used to. I saw the biggest brown I've ever seen pulled from these waters. It doesn't look like it'll happen again.

Small brown trout and a pike

Was down the res today for 3 hours right behind the hospital, not 1 bite

This lake is not open to fish till May 1st 2016 as per regulation book

Is there still ice?

Oh I'm only new to Alberta. Did not know it was closed for ice fishing. Is there good brown trotting here when the ice breaks?

Since it's closed all winter until May 1 I would hope not.

Hey everybody how's it going. Did anybody go out ice fishing yet and have any luck?

A sleepy night on the lake last night. The lake was like glass, nothing rising

Anybody have any luck this week? I got skunked yesterday...

I know you were. We were gonna try yesterday remember lol

There in there but hard to figure out what area glenmore can be a really hard some times or it can be epic let me know if u find any I was thinking about doing the same thing

Anybody target burbot in here? Any depths/locations/structure that they stick to would be great. Might head out for some evening fishing this week.

I'd like to see a picture to Dobyx!

Dobyx can u text me a pic I gotta see this to believe it 403 7037317 ( no picture no fish !!!)

Shore fishing around 8:00am and caught 2 pike around 12"-16". Not a lot of weeds, clear clean water. Must be patient the fish are there.

Caught 2 pike in 1 hour. Biggest was 21". Fishing from boat. Saw some huge schools of perch but biggest was 4"

I am new to Alberta and have never fished here before. Where is the best place to park for shore fishing on the south shore?

I went there to fish in the spot (50.998783037993306,-114.09753218765258) which is by the Glenmore Bridge Rd SW but unfortunately no access to that spot anymore. I used to fish there and had lots of luke.

Water level is up about three feet and lots of floating weeds in the water. Got one nice sized pike on the south shore.

Small pike action
View on Map

3hrs canoeing, from yatch club to the rowing club, across to the Heritage P and back to the sailor club. Not even a bite, using lures only.

Good spots are the point just south of the rowing clubhouse, or the point across the lake from that to the east of the boating club dock. An old timer said his best luck was using a classic red and white spoon for pike. Good luck!

Can you fish anywhere around the reservoir at this time of year?

The shoreline?

Hi, where is the best fishing spot if no boat? Thanks.

2 hours spinning this morning. Pulled in a 14" pike

Went yesterday, 1 1/2 hours of fishing got 12" pike

Two pikes came close to shore following the spoon but dod't took it .4 hours of spinning and nothing .

Went out from 6-11 in the morning and didn't catch anything. For the first 45 minutes we were fishing by the sailing club and later on we moved over near the canoe club. Talked to a couple other anglers who said they were also having no luck.

Can I use boat in this lake for fishing? Thx Imtiaz

Don't fish here
View on Map

@ fearnofish sure!

No, really slow. A few people got pike first thing this morning.

Anyone catching anything?

ygfhg

And @keplock, if you find em let me know. I've never even seen one in there

Opening day has been stated twice just a few comments down. Doesn't sound like anyone's fishing to me just asking a few questions. Chill.

You guys know the opening day is may 1 right? Keep fishing and some of yall may get caught.... Just wait a week or 2 more.

Hi Guys! Kindly locate where to catch a perch in this lake? Big thanks!!

No - no inflatables either..

Can you use electric motors in here ?

Lots of pike in the shallows

Out fishing with my mobile deeper fish finder.. went to My usual spot no fish kept walking for 20 minutes the caught on a school or fish on my finder. And start fishing. Came out with 2 Brown's... Awesome day..

Clear water except for leaves. Did not see any fish from shore where I was.

Lots of trout swim around here and a nice Weed zone 20 meters out

Went today, saw few fish playing, but no bites. There were about 6 or 7 other anglers and fly fishermen and no one caught a thing!!!

@Yunda what kind of trout was it and was it caught illegally? If so please photograph and document

No Walleye rigs but keep a eye out for my Mepps Little Wolf lost one of those.

Went today and last weekend near the Canoe Club. Caught nothing.

Was that your walleye rig I found wrapped around a dead 55cm trout in Glenmore Reservoir this morning? Does using a walleye rig make sense in a lake where there's no walleye?

Here's a link to the regulations. http://www.albertaregulations.ca/fishingregs/es1.html

Shore fishing North Glenmore park, using Mepps Black furys. I had a size 2 chartreuse spots, my buddy had a size 3 yellow spots. We decided to move closer to the inlet. He caught about a 12 inch pike first cast at new spot.

Hey how are you guys?! Do anybody know where to go to catch browns?

Thanks for your comments first time at this lake never found boat Launch just found a car park and fished tryed looking on inter web about we're to fish and rules etc could not find any thing

Hey Gman - try reading the large sign with the long list of reservoir rules found at each boat launch. The Glenmore is only an average fishery at best - years ago it was great!. That's what happens when 1.1 million people live on it's doorstep."Crayfish"

Please be awere you are not allowed any inflaterbles in the lake did not no my self till boat came and told me ??? Why is there no info on this stuff

Your worst day of fishing will always be better than your best day of working

What is the best this to use for bait here?

Every time I go there (once a week is so) I CandR at least 3 pike

Caught a 12" pike this morning, just south of the canoe club.

12" pike
View on Map

Water is murky from the wind, hopefully it will be better later in the season. Saw someone catch a 12 inch pike

Hey Houston that's why it's called fishing instead of catching. Better luck next time. Sonny

We were there for a couple of hours this morning by the dock and it was pretty dead. Although, I'm no fisherman and have no idea what I'm doing. I just picked something from my box and threw it in the water. I'm sure if I knew what I was doing and not just using a shad, I might have done better.

About as much fun as watching paint dry.

How's the fishing from shore?

Everyone caught fish. Nice sizes too.

Looks like there were a bunch of people out there today, how did everyone make out?

There is a size limit on whitefish , I believe they have to be under 35 cm. I

No size limit but make sure you read the regs.

How best, no size limit on trout, perch, and pike. Whitefish gas to be greater than 35cm.

How big do they have to be to keep?

Oh really. I heard to go my the yacht club on ne point

Right on, there are so many places to choose from. I've never caught anything there but it is relaxing.

I haven't fished there yet lol

I was hoping to get out there myself. What part of the lake do you fish in?

I'm thinking of going out tomorrow. Anybody care to join ?

Beautiful day but no fish. Banks were populated pretty heavy , water is low and murky.

If you guys haven't registered yet or might be interested check out the EastSlope Kayak Fishing tourney. Jun 21 gull lake. Open to all solo, human powered watercraft. Kayak Raffle just for registering and a ton of great prizes.

That sounds like fun but I don't have room for a kayak. Inflatable would be more my style.

Brazuka75 would pontoon boats count? Lol

Brazuca75 I'm in!!! Busy this weekend, but let me know when and where your headed out.

Any interest by anyone in getting a kayak fishing club/group started out of Calgary?

Went out with my son and landed a pike with mepps agilia 3

Out there on Sunday for a couple hours, south side. Caught a 50cm brown trout on a spoon. Very little ice left. GET OUT THERE!

I like to eat what I catch too. Haven't ate pike yet though. But looking forward to trying it.

Yes, you will need a leader, pike have big mouths and sharp teeth. Next time I plan on going I'll post something. Just a warning, I eat what I catch, not a fan of sportfishing.

Thanks fishon420 I'll still need a leader on the spoons shouldn't i? We should get out fishing some time.

I only go for pike here, I use spoons(gold, yellow, red or orange combos) Tiger colored raps work good too._I know a few guys who do well with flyrod for trout.

What is good to use here? New to Alberta and want to catch some fish lol

Got a couple pike today in the rain, 5ofDiamonds just off the point NE of the sailing club. Water is a little low right now, not sure if that helped or hindered.

Right on.. I left them a message about that sonny. Can't wait until may 1st.

Be careful because IFish has the wrong opening date the actual opening date is May 1 not April 1

I know , no fishing yet, just checked regs. Ifish has April 1.

Anyone been out here yet? Any breaks in the ice?

No fishing through the ice.

Hey there. Just wondering if I am aloud to fish glenmore res right now? Is there still ice on it? Or can I use my spinner rod?

Thanks for the info guys I appreciate it.

Smackfish, unfortunately the res is closed to fishing during the time it is frozen, would be fun for sure but not with the current regulations. -boots

cant fish on it, bilaw will fine you or call the city police to have you removed :)

I have fished here in the summer and had some luck but I am curious if this resivoir freezes over well enough in the winter to icefish on?

Caught a 26" brown yesterday in my kayak directly in front of the paddleboat dock at Heritage Park. Use a balanced leech pattern. Beauty fish; beauty day.

Where's the best spot on the reservoir to catch brown trout and what's a great lure. Thanks

Caught tons of pike here
View on Map

When is it best to fish for brown trout in the glen more res and what's the best lure. Thanks

Got a monster doe brown with bulging belly filled with eggs. Caught on a rapala xrap orange. Also caught a little hammer handle and had some bigger pike follow lure in. C&R

best bait/lure for brown trout?

Wednesday October 2nd around 6 pm I hooked into a monstrous brown trout about twenty feet out from shore in about ten to fifteen feet of water. It turned out to be the largest fish I have ever caught in Alberta of any species! Caught on a Rapala perch crankbait and weighing in at 11 lbs 5 ounces and 31 and a quarter inches long. This will definitely be a memorable day for many years to come. Only a few more weeks of fishing at Glenmore till the season closes though unfortunately, it used to be open all year only a few years ago ! Good luck fishing !

I'm planning on heading up to Glenmore this afternoon. Can anyone suggest some spots to try? Going to be starting out from Heritage Park.

Perch early morning. Pike chase them into shore. Bobber fish with leaches.

Beautiful evening tonight. I was fishing near south Glenmore Park from 5 till 9 and caught a monster brown trout close to ten pounds and had hit after hit from hungry pike. A few trout jumping for flies and many pike following my lure back to shore ! All catch and release. You can use bait here but no bait fish. You are allowed to use smelts however. I was using spoons and spinners. Good luck !

Got skunked this afternoon, not even a bite or chaser and got wet by the late afternoon rain ... Gotta love fishing.

Caught 3 pike beside Glenmore Trail again. Then 6 more east of GSC. All C&R.

Me and a friend have gone out several times over the past yr today we tried the reservoir we tryed near the windmill and the sailing club both spots we got nothing haven't caught anything in yr we have no boat just shore fish if anyone has any hints I'd love to hear them Ty thriller29@msn.com

Pike, brown trout.

Fishing at glenmore has always been amazing... Everytime I go, I always fish by the golf course and I average 2 to 3 pikes everytime. But right before the flood I caught a brown trout about 3 feet, close to about 5 lbs . Was an amazing fight... I'm planning on going next week taking a kayak... But always catch and release, we won't big monsters in there...

is it better to fish during the early morning or later at night. Im going to be heading out tomorrow at around 6:30pm ill be fishing around the entrance of heritage park and also head down to the south side of the resivour. just wanted to know what you guys thought

Went from 7:30pm til 9 and got 3 pike on the south side rocks of glenmore trail.

I've fished on the north side on both sides of Glenmore trail on the rocks and all along the east side upto the dam. The only area you can't fish is on the shore on the west side(golf course side), patrol boat booted me out due too erosion control & too steep. But they've never said anything to me when I see them on the east side.

Is it legal to fish in the nothern part (area between Glenmore trail and Dam)? I've got some fishing spots there, but that area is fenced.

6 inch pike in 1 hour. Anyone know if trout can be found here.
View on Map

Again, another great night on the res. Fished about 5 different spots over the last 2 weeks and the water is alive! Landed a 20 inch pike and a 12 inch pike last night

Thegaddiman - thanks man. Much appreciated. I'm heading there tonight to try my luck.

How good has the bow fishing been since the floods for all of you, it's been horrible for me oh and are you aloud bait at glenmore?

My routine is to park at the "H", start fishing at the closest spot to where I parked. I walked the bend until I hit the dock then fish the other side of the dock til I reach the chain link fence. I'm never in the same spot more than 10 min unless I'm getting lots of hits. Cast in a fan pattern covering as much water as you can, if no bites move another 15ft. In the last 2 yrs doing this same routine I've caught lots of small pike, a 23" rainbow, 29-1/2" rainbow and a 26" brown.

Hey Thegaddiman and Stevep27 - can you tell me exactly where near Heritage Park you are fishing? By the docks? And are you fishing from shore or on a boat? I was there on the 25th and didn't even get one hit.

Went on august 11 from 6-9 pm caught one pike just shy of 2 feet. No other bites.

Arrived at 11am, left at 3pm, caught & released 6 pike all under 24".

I was fishing near Heritage Park yesterday and caught a 38 inch Pike 13 1/2 pounds largest I've ever seen or caught here. Amazing fishing this year !!

Got 6 pikes today at glenmore reservoir near heritage park. The biggest is 22in using a spinner.

I got it in glenmore reservoir those 2 pikes.

Caught 2 smallish Pike near the canoe club on separate days. Seems like these little guys are hanging out 10-20 feet away from the shore, laughing as everyone casts over them.

Wicked place to kill a few hours. Water has cleared and the browns are hungry!

Its been pretty good after the flood.. caught a couple smallish pike near the canoe club yesterday! Water still a little murky but using some soft plastic fake bait fish was working!

Anyone fishing McGregor ? I can't catch anything but small pike ! Any info appreciated

jbanman can you please pin point a place on the map where it is. Is it near the the dock by heritage park is? or near that huge windmill at heritage, thanks.

If you can find it there is nice fish here
View on Map

Off the heritage park point drops down fast, monster browns hanging out using worms off the bottom... Only problem is the no trespassing sign and the search and rescue who enforces it!

caught 3 pike last week. my buddy caught what I think was a record brown trout!

No motorized boats allowed except for the police boat. You can launch a canoe in many different places, including the canoe club. Im pretty sure you dont have to pay. However, its going to be awhile until your allowed and until the water clears up

Is there a no-motorized boat policy here? I understand this is Calgary's water supply. My family recently moved here and I would like to try fishing here this summer. Are there public boat launches? I don't mind paying the city or government a launch fee but I refuse to pay some gated community or country club for access to launch my boat

I fished hear 8 years ago and caught a 9 inch pike my first pike and they put up an awesome fight. I know there is trout there but have never seen one and there is Suckers. A canoe would be ideal since younger pike stay close to shallows and older ones in the more deep ends.

This year I have only caught one trout was about 2 1/2 pounds. This lake is hard to fish but has lots of pike and trout are hard to catch but i've seen some 10lb's and more but its rare.

caught a fish 2/3 times i've been here. Caught a decent sized pike this evening with a rapala countdown perch colored

absolutely nothing but blaming it on the weather. cant really find any good spots either?

Please catch and release as much as u can, we want monsters in this lake!!

Usually no action but have caught some pike. Saw a huge 10-12 lb rainbow jump tho. Water pretty murky right now cause of recent rain

Here's what the Glenmore bylaw says: No power motors No fishing from docks or ramps (fishing is permitted in non-motorized boats and along the shore) If you see a power boat it's the boat patrol/rescue from city of Calgary.

Are electric motors allowed on the rez?

Opens May 1st. Make sure to check the regs.

Cannot fish from Oct 31 until ice is off some time in may. Just a heads up

No bites today…

Not a bite yesterday around midday.

Evening caddis fishing with a Size 6 Triwing caddis produced some decent Browns on top. Pike fishing during the day with Dbl Bunnies -deceivers in Red/White and Yellow/ red and Chartruese/Black is usually good bet for a pike or two on full sinking lines. This truly is a diamond in the rough and keeps us coming back year after year.

We got 8 pike from 7 to 9:30pm west of the glenmore sailing club, on the south side on Aug 5th. One good size pike, 2 medium size and the rest small. Overall an enjoyable time... Looking forward to exploring it more...

What is the best time of day to fish for pike ?

Pike average 6 per hour during peek times

Caught a 20" brown directly east of the canoe club near the point where the steam boat boards. Seems like good action there and the point breaks the current so it should be a good spot for some flashy spinners or cranks. I used a crank bait which seems to be a big thing this year with the fish being so picky with food

Nothing.... Second time fishing there and had no luck.

Pike in the weedbeds Pike, mostly small, up to ~6lbs

Fished north point from sailing club at 6:30 am. Tried everything ... spoons, spinners, rapalas, buzz bombs but caught nothing but weeds. Guy next to me caught one small pike on a Mepps Cyclops #3.

Pike! ....on just about anything

No kidding, I saw a trout rise yesterday. Fishing is OK for pike.

I have been on the water extensively and the pike are dominant in the waters. North side of heritage park by the boat lift I picked up what I believe was a school of fish (poss perch 20' down) on the sonar but no luck bringing anything in.

What is a good choice for bait at this spot?

Water looking real clear pike hitting yellow/black five of diamonds 8 year old daughter caught a nice 12lb pike near the dock

Anybody catching perch and where and with what

Water is starting to clear up

I caught my fist pike there! but it all depend on your luck!

Water very discoloured. No luck with spoons or smelts.

Can be a tough lake to fish. But I had some luck today. Caught a 20" pike off the shore. Within my first 10 casts. It's a good body of water if you want something close and live in Calgary.

I've fished this lake quite a bit, caught a fair amount of small pike. Seen a couple trout caught but they are very scarce. If you had a canoe there is alot of spots I can see that would most likely hold some big pike. Overall for being right in Calgary city limits it's a good lake. Sun up and sun down are the best times to fish.
