Thank you VCC! We will be staying part of the time with relatives in Wetaskawin. They are planning a trip out on Sylvan lake and I was wondering about the fishing. They have one of those party barges you are talking about. I was thinking I could discreetly drag a line behind it!
I hear ya on those sort of activities on a perfectly good fishing lake. We have a few like that around here and it drives me nuts trying to fish (and more importantly actually catch fish) around the noise of the jetskis, powerboats, waterskiers, and big pontoon party barges. I can see the thrill in going fast in a power boat, but my priorities lay with fishing!
Pigeon lake sounds interesting and not too far from where we will be staying...
Thanks!
