Pike on the Fly at Cow Lake

Cow Lake was an amazing rainbow fishery several years ago. Unfortunately illegally introduced perch have taken over the lake. Pike were then stocked in the lake a few years back. They have done very well!  I bet those perch make for tasty snacks for the pike. It looks like the pike are rapidly getting large.Troy and his buddy Brandon decided to take their home tied minnow patterns to Cow Lake and as you can see, they had lots of success. Cow Lake is just outside of Rocky Mountain House. When trout lakes get too warm; pike and walleye fishing are great options!
