Fishing near Edmonton, Alberta

Edmonton sits in central Alberta along the North Saskatchewan River, which cuts through the city and draws anglers year-round for walleye, northern pike, goldeye, sauger, and the catch-and-release-only lake sturgeon. Beyond the river, lakes within an hour's drive — including Wabamun Lake and Lac Ste. Anne — round out a fishing scene that runs from open-water season straight through to ice fishing.
