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!!

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.

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

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
