Slough Shark Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 (edited) I went camping at the Pembina River (portion between Evansburg and Entwistle) and managed to waste all my time fishing!! I personally wouldn't call it wasting time because I saw more of the area than anyone else in my family while fishing and fish hunting. I finally managed to finish editing the pics and decided which ones were good, so I will post a link to the album rather than taking up a crap load of space on the board, once my website is set up, I will just link to that page. Here's the link (the guest password is "fishhunt") http://s243.photobucket.com/albums/ff292/S...a%20River%2007/ C&C most welcome!

Slough Shark Posted September 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 Thanks guys! From experience I will say that Juvenile Fish are the hardest to catch, but these river fish are so much more intelligent than still-water fish! I only caught 3 Juvenile Mountain Sucker, 5 Trout-perch, 8 Lake Chub(?) and the one Juvenile Walleye. I guess you have to be smart and quick to survive in a river like that, but they were extremely challenging for the most part. As usual it was the biggest fish (and the most desired) that were hardest, to have survived so long in that environment they had to have been smart, making them a welcome challenge for me! That Giant Bug is darn ugly! When I flipped over the rock it was hunting under I darn near screamed like a little girl!! This time Iwas outfitted in my full gear, boots, chest waders and all. I even wore my winter jacket in case of rain! All in all, great trip for those other rare "fish hunters" like me, but I wouldn't reccomend that portion of the river for anglers.

Toirtis Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Great photos and thanks for the fishing report...I had considered stopping there a couple of times to wet a line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slough Shark Posted October 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Thanks... and you're welcome. Yeah, no problem. I would say that if you headed up stream a fair bit, you would find some of the trouts, but nothing much at the campground as you can see, bigger walleye as you head down river I suspect (it meets up with the Athabasca). Expect to see another report next weekend, I'm heading into the bush at the Clearwater River, could get rough. My Uncle (heading out with him and his family) says when he went out this weekend there was snow on the ground and the river was freezing over at night. Prime time for trout fishing I hear though, so I'll brave it for a chance to catch my first trout. Taylor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slough Shark Posted October 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Thanks very much, I had a lot of time to take pictures while I was off doing my thing, I'm happy to share these pictures with everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corrosionjerry Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 yep nice shots.. I use to fish around that area all the time... the only real good fishing time for that river is when the poplar fuzz is flying! Did you know that there are a couple or three spots in and around Edmonton on the NS that are great fishing areas... I have caught countless gold eye , walleye, pike , various suckers, and even a few spiecies of Trout right inside the city... It always amazed me how few people fish the NS around the city... Maybe that is good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slough Shark Posted October 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Closest river to use to target Lake Sturgeon, I'll be checking it out thoroughly nest year, and I'm sure to catch some suckers and goldeye while I'm at it. I'm curious, what kind of trout did you catch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious, what kind of trout did you catch? Brown Trout.....' You should be able to catch sturgeon in the NS.... I am not sure its leagal however they way to catch them is to have a very heavy line moored to a tree or other large object with a very large hook.... like a meat hook or gattling hook... a large chunk of meat and hurl it out as far as you can and leave it over night and check it the next day or so!

In 2007, although Sturgeon fishing is legal by law, there were zero sturgeon tags given out as the population has an enormously slow doubling rate and needs to recover from several years of over fishing.

Slough Shark Posted October 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Yep catching them is leagl, keeping them is not. Also leaving lines unattended in the water for ANY fish in ANY location is illegal. I think I will try next spring/fall for some sturgeon. I really I hope I can catch my first trout next year!
