Finding fish at Glenmore Reservoir | Tough Conditions, Surprising Results!

Welcome back to another exciting episode of Angling Spiders! Today, I'm kayak fishing for pike at Calgary's Glenmore Reservoir, battling murky water, low water levels, and strict boat regulations. Because inflatables aren’t allowed, I’m back in the trusty Pelican Mission 100 and rocking my old Garmin fish finder.

Despite the tough early-season conditions, I land four northern pike, including one in a brand-new section of the lake I’ve never explored before. I also share tips on how critical sonar is for locating fish-holding weed beds, especially when visibility is low and structure is sparse.

▶️ Key highlights:

Glenmore’s boat rules & conditions
Swapping out lures: Northern King spoon success
Fishing new areas & marking fish
Importance of sonar (Garmin) for weed bed location
Snack of the day: Wasabi Almonds!

If you enjoy kayak fishing, early-season tactics, or Calgary’s urban reservoirs, this one’s for you.
