Good campgrounds, perhaps with fishing nearby?

[Kipper is King]

My dad and I decided that we want to go camping next week within a few hours drive of Calgary. I also am interested in doing some fishing if possible.

Does anyone know of a nice campground with good fishing nearby?

Thank you!

Top secret - can't tell you.

Ok, if you promise to catch and release, here are some suggestions - are you talking about flyfishing?

1) Cataract Creek campground west of Longview - fish for Brook Trout in Cataract Creek, Cutthroat Trout in Livingstone River (C&R only)

2) Anywhere along Crowsnest River - Rainbow Trout

3) Castle River - Cutthroat Trout

4) Lake fishing - Kananaskis or Spray Lakes

You will find, that the fishing is always better, the further you go from the campground/road.

I recommend this book if you can find it:

Fishing the Canadian Rockies (Paperback)

Caresland. Best Fishing and Golfing 35 mins from Calgary! Great campsite as well

Of course I could count on Troutman for fishing advice!

Actually, we would be spincasting from the shore.
