Fishing 

From secluded ponds to sprawling lakes, finding a fishing spot in Kananaskis is more of a matter of choosing your favourite. Crystal-clear alpine waters offer the ideal environment, giving clear visibility of your soon-to-be catch swimming over top the rocky lake beds. Various species of sport fish inhabit these waters, including rainbow, brown, brook, cutthroat, bull, and lake trout, alongside Arctic grayling and mountain whitefish.
