3 Thrilling Canadian Fishing Getaways to Check Out in 2018

Edmonton Potholes

For trophy-sized rainbows, check out the stocked pothole lakes within easy driving distance of Edmonton. And if the action is slow at one lake, it’s just a short drive to another—Star, East Pit, Muir and Spring Lakes are the most popular. Chironomid fishing is a favourite local technique, but leech, backswimmer and water boatman patterns also catch fish. For the latest fishing reports, contact The Fishin’ Hole tackle shop.
