Fishing near Red Deer, Alberta

Red Deer sits in central Alberta along the Red Deer River, roughly midway between Calgary and Edmonton. The river runs right through the city and is the anchor of local fishing, while tributaries like the Little Red Deer River, Raven River, and Medicine River draw anglers looking for trout and pike in the surrounding countryside. In-city spots at Bower Ponds, Mitchell Pond, and Three Mile Bend give residents easy access to the water without leaving town.
