went out a couple days ago, got a nice looking brown into the shallows and it snapped my line, lost a good rooster tail. caught nothing else

Been out in my kayak there three times this year, not a bite. Not sure what's up, see lots of fish on the sonar but they just aren't hungry.

Has anyone had success fishing here this weekend?

Was out yesterday evening for several hours, east of the rowing club. No bites, no nibbles. Using spoons, spinners and crankbaits. Ice is gone, water is up a bit from last year.

was out today, caught a small whitefish on the south side. water is still pretty low.

Was out for a couple hours this evening. Was a beautiful evening for some fishing. However, no luck. Been out a couple times in the last few days and no action at all. South side by boat lauch is a popular place for shore fising.

Went out today for a couple hours and caught an few small pike. Water is still very low and very dirty

The best place to fish is another lake. Glenmore is a hard place to catch with or without a kayak. The reward can be amazing if your lucky enough to hook into a big one but I've found it has not been the same since the flood. Go to the bow river once it clears up if you want to actually catch fish. I haven't been there this year but I've put a lot of time in on a kayak there in the last few years and I've only caught a few micro pike. Before the floods I could catch a big one everytime out. Let us know if you catch anything and good luck.

Where's the best spot to fish? I am on summer holidays and want to get out as much as possible. Just shore fishing,possibly kayak some days.. Any info appreciated!!





by SkeptikalScabies on May. 16, 2018
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.





by Bigheaddoug on Apr. 20, 2018
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.

How thick is the ice





by Papirus on Dec. 3, 2017
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...





by Thegaddiman on Aug. 28, 2017
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.

by Thegaddiman on Aug. 20, 2017
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!





by MrShark on Jul. 22, 2017
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?





by Bigheaddoug on Jul. 9, 2017
Great morning on Glenmore! Big pike and a monster brown trout! Bigger than the blade on my kayak paddle!





by Bigheaddoug on Jun. 16, 2017
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.





by Gully on May. 14, 2017
Very murky waters, out for an hour no fish. 2 jumped right as I left. Not great fishing





by Jbryant02 on May. 5, 2017
Fished for 8 hours on Monday by the South Shore and caught 1 22" pike on lure. Not a whole lot of action.





by Fattyffat on May. 5, 2017
Anyone been fishing the South Shore since it opened up? Tips appreciated





by Jbryant02 on Aug. 29, 2016
Fished for 5 hours and caught a whole lot of nothing. Few bites. Lost a lure in the process.
by Jeremiah on Aug. 29, 2016
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.





by pdingeldien on Aug. 1, 2016
what type of bait is being use here?





by Mykul on Jul. 17, 2016
Caught a 6 pound brown trout this evening. East of the canoe club.





by Bigheaddoug on Jul. 12, 2016
No motors or inflatable craft allowed





by Mckillop on Jul. 12, 2016
Are you allowed electric motors? Or gas?





by Bobbyboy1 on Jun. 6, 2016
Caught 2 small pile just north west of dock. Bald eagle swooped in and grabbed one of them!





by Gmare on Jun. 5, 2016
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.
by Masa on Jul. 27, 2020
Seems all of the pike are tiny caught 2 from the shore, 1 by the overpass and 1 on the north side by the golf course both about 12in
