If East Pit was stocked with 11 thousand fish on May 15, 2020. And it has been about 4 months since then...And if 20 people were there every day taking ONLY their limit. East Pit would need to be stalked with 12000 fish. MAYBE, given a high fish mortality rate of 18% C&R...and that there are SOME leaving with bags full of fish instead of just 5...plus we are feeding some of the local wild life....it is no wonder people go there in July and do not see a single fish. Any suggestions that would help East Pit season last a little longer???

If East Pit was stocked with 11 thousand fish on May 15

Went today i the afternoon - no one was catching anything - not even a nibble

Was there this morning waters stupid high. But I managed to land ten in about an hour. All this years stock except one decent fish about 2 lbs!

Lake is extremely high, waters levels are way up and this the fish are not biting. Went for a few hours today and not even a nibble. Normally always a guarantee

Fishing was good right before sunset, but the Mosquitoes were CRAZY....I mean CRAZY

fished it 3 times this last 7 days, never skunked once. using spinners and tiny spoons. on June 2nd caught 35 in 2 hours from freshly stocked size up to 10 inches.

Went on the weekend, beautiful weather out and pulling 10 inchers non stop right before dusk !

I went for a drive and walk.... in the fresh snow. And yes, the ice is completely gone.

Any open water?

Any open water yet?

Hey there ! Any open water yet ? I'd like to go this weekend

Go here regularly. Pretty good place. Kinda annoyed though, went out ice fishing and I find what I’m told is Asian carp frozen in the ice next to a hole someone had made. Hopefully it’s not as it appears

Caught my PB here yesterday, a 6-7 pound pig! Fished in my belly from 1-7, caught 15 or so, 3 nice ones over 16", majority of my bites were on a red and cooper little cleo spoon, including that hog! Great day fishing on the water

Nothing but tiny fingerlings stocked from this year, better to let them grow a bit before coming back I'd say

Spent the day fishing..got 1 12 inch trout on jumbo dew worms.. had a few small bites the rest of the day. Very slow

Newfie69. How are you getting over there?

If you have the means I found fishing the far end gives better results.

I have been out the last few weekends evening and morning. Tried spoons, spinners, mepps, and dough. Got a couple nibbles only. Talked to the other guys out there and they had nothing as well. Usually i have pretty good luck at this lake.

@bluenoser1971 what was the weather like the day you went? And did it seem totally dead? I'm thinking of going Saturday morning but I've never been and I dont wanna waste my morning

Spent 3 hours this morning, alternating between lures and power bait. Not a bite.

We went last Saturday 18, we didn't catch anything using spinners, spoons, and little rapalas. We saw some guys using bait dough and they did not catch anything as well. We spent 3 hours and left earlier at 6, and I heard that the bites start after 7,next time we'll be arriving later.

Went out there a week ago, extremely cold and windy. Fished hard for 5 hours in my belly boat caught 3 rainbows on the fly. a 16", 13" and 11". Very slow, still too early especially with this weather

any open water yet ?

Thinking about heading out there soon. Anyone catching anything yet?

Lakes dead. Nothing on cameras or flashers for 8 hours moved many times.

Fishing 4 hours, no bites, not seeing anything either. Overall bad day

Ice Report: 7 in

Any ice report? How's ice-fishing in this lake?

Great Trout spot, been there 5 times in June/July. Caught about 6) 8-10" rainbow with a handful of bits. Was using a 8g Spinner (wal-mart). Lots of shore spots to choose from. Only down fall, some walking and on the way out have to climb a pretty steep hill. In my opinion worth it. Shout out to The Fishing Doctors Adventures https://youtu.be/ZwK8i3myClY without him wouldn't have found this gem -TheFishinBroz -K

we were there yesterday and did not catch 4 hours

Watch where you walk. I saw a guy taking a dump by the walking trail on the south side of the lake.

https://mywildalberta.ca/fishing/fish-stocking/documents/AlbertaFishStockingReport-May18-2018.pdf 6380 stocked 14 May 18 Stopped by Sunday for a quick scout. Looked like Walmart parking lot.

Stock report says no fish stocked for 2018. I agree with BigFish, if you bring it down the hill take it with you back up the hill. I have a feeling that people on this site are not the ones leaving the mess. Leduc was stocked with 2400 this year.

Got two lost two very windy today i don't know how people can go to a lake and leave there garbage just laying there when they go lazy people or they just don't care maybe they shouldn't go to the lake at all

Anyone have any word on ice? Looking to go if ice is off.

took my fishing rod with me while I was swimming the dog in East Pit, 30 degrees, noon to 3:30pm, landed 6 on pink and green power eggs. Mid-day, I was pleasantly surprised.
