Spring Lake is a wonderful place for fishing all year round, stocked with multiple species of trout. The lake is aerated in the Winter by the Alberta conservation Association to promote the year-round survival of the trout. After a long day of work, relaxing on the lake fishing for trout is one of our favorite ways to unwind.
All fishing at Spring Lake is catch and release.
