Chestermere Lake Fishing Tips
The most common fish species that you will catch in Chestermere Lake is the pike. Both minnows and smelts work great as bait .
This is quite a popular lake because of the close proximity to Calgary and a lot of the fish of legal size is taken home. That’s one of the reasons why most of the pike that you will catch will be smaller than 63 cm. The south side of the lake near the inlet and a bridge are good fishing spots.
