I love fishing the Glenmore reservoir for several reasons. It&#8217;s really easy to get to, it has both Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout and Northern Pike, plus you can rent a canoe right at the reservoir to fish from! it&#8217;s just a pleasure to be around. It&#8217;s clean, beautiful and also open for more than just fishing (there&#8217;s all sorts of kayaking and boat races etc).<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li class=\"open\"><strong>OPENED <\/strong>May 1st to October 31st<\/li>\n<li class=\"close\"><strong>CLOSED <\/strong>November 1st to April 30th<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"July 2016   Michael catching a Brown Trout at  Glenmore Reservoir\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1hNM4Oippb0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Fishing Regulations For The Glenmore Reservoir<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Make sure to check the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.albertaregulations.ca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">official fishing regulations<\/a> every time you go fishing, in case they&#8217;ve changed. Don&#8217;t assume! The zone is ES1.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Trout: 5<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>You can keep up to 5 trout per day (Rainbow Trout or Brown Trout), other than Bull Trout which are catch and release only. I&#8217;ve personally only seen Browns and Rainbows in the Glenmore Reservoir.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Mountain Whitefish: 5<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>All under 30cm must be released.

Lots of them in there.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Yellow Perch: 15<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Another fish I&#8217;ve never personally seen. You ever catch Yellow Perch at the Glenmore Reservoir? Comment below!<\/p>\n\n<h2><strong>My First Catch At The Glenmore Reservoir<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Not the biggest Pike ever caught, but it was my first and I was very excited to get it home to clean and cook. Caught him using a leech grub. Unfortunately I was pretty inexperienced at cleaning fish.. so it didn&#8217;t turn out so great. Pike are not so easy to clean, at least in my opinion.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8815 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/crackmacs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Glenmore-Reservoir-Fishing-Pike.jpg\" alt=\"Fishing Glenmore Reservoir Pike\" width=\"750\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crackmacs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Glenmore-Reservoir-Fishing-Pike.jpg 750w, https:\/\/crackmacs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Glenmore-Reservoir-Fishing-Pike-620x465.jpg 620w, https:\/\/crackmacs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Glenmore-Reservoir-Fishing-Pike-644x483.jpg 644w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Good Spots To Fish?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>To be honest I have not found any fishing hot spots on the Glenmore Reservoir. Fishing is always better in a boat, but from shore, anyplace you can access should be fine. I&#8217;ve caught Pike from all sides (mostly using spoons), and trout on the south shore (five of diamonds). I&#8217;ve had the same luck no matter where I&#8217;m casting from, it feels like.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps someone can suggest somewhere specific in the comments?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\"

This is the perfect setting for offering paddling programs for all ages and all levels.<\/p>\n<p>The CCC was established in 1959 and is a non-profit organization that provides training and promotes excellence in competitive paddling disciplines (sprint canoe\/kayak and outrigger), and provides the opportunity to all members of the community to experience lifelong learning skills through paddling.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Getting To The Glenmore Reservoir<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>You can get to the Glenmore Reservoir on Calgary Transit by taking the c-train to Heritage station, taking route 502 to Heritage Park, then just walk down to the reservoir. Alternatively you can take route 20 from Heritage c-train station up to the Rockyview General Hospital and just walk down the pathways to the water. Easy peasy!
