Carbondale River:

Located south of town, it lies in the burn area from the Lost Creek Fire of 2003. Sections remain untouched, while in other areas standing black trees still exist. Access to this river is moderate, with some steeper slopes and deadfall.  The river contains some of the larger Cutthroat and Rainbows in the area, Bulltrout are also present.  Large numbers of Cutt-Bow presented themselves in the last few years.

Castle River:

Located south of town, the headwaters are South and West Castle Rivers.  A popular campsite is located near the confluence.  Upper sections have moderate access, sections near the campgrounds are easier, but fishing is not as productive.  Cutthroat and Bulls are typically found, with some Rainbow, and Cutt-bows. Most fish average 18-20 inches, Bulls are commonly found at 20+ inches.  Currently holds the provincial record for Cutthroat trout at 9.56 lbs. Caught in 1988.

Crowsnest River:

Running directly through the five towns of the Crowsnest Pass makes this is an excellent river stop, even if only for a few moments.  The upper section is filled with small Rainbows up to 20 inches.  Further down Browns and Bulls can be found.  Matching the hatch on this river is essential as its easy access points allow pressure in peak season.

 

Lynx Creek:

The largest creek to enter the Carbondale River, Lynx Creek is teaming with smaller Cutthroat, up to 15 inches.  It’s easily accessed at many points and areas the fire had scorched reveals many otherwise hidden holes.  The sections the fire missed will test your ability to cast in tighter spaces.

Oldman River:

One of the largest rivers in the area, it is no surprise this river also contains some of the larger fish.  All types of stream trout are found here in their specific sections.  Cutthroats and Rainbows up to 25 inches have been found, Bulls near the 30 inch mark.  Access varies from easy to difficult depending on specific sites.  The area known as “The Gap” provides a beautiful view of the river flowing between two mountains, fairly easy access and average success.
