Karen and I just got back from camping at Fish Lake, a few kilometres from Nordegg. The camping was amazing. While everyone was swatting mosquitoes in Red Deer, we were enjoying shorts and t-shirts with few bugs. The camping was superb.
We did get out to fly fish Fish Lake several times. The rainbows are not huge but there are a lot of them. The rainbows were also quite cooperative. Karen and I usually fished micro leeches with orange beads about 5 or 6 feet down below a stick indicator! The rainbows fight very well and every once in a while we connect with a second year fish or two.
The other neat thing at Fish Lake are the raptors. The osprey and eagles are constantly at the lake putting on a show. The loons are plentiful and they will almost certainly pay you a visit.
If you like camping, book a site and stay a few days. Now that gas prices have come down a bit, it is more reasonable to enjoy our eastern slopes fisheries.
