If you’re a fishing fan, you might be looking for one spot in particular. After all, there are many fishing spots worldwide – known and unknown. But if you know where this one is, you’ll have access to a fishing hole that no one else knows about!
Who doesn’t love a fishing hole?
For many Edmontonians, that fishing hole is in a secluded river valley. However, for those aware of its existence, the fishing spot at Wanuskewin Provincial Park is a secret to everybody.
This is because it’s difficult to find – you must hike down a steep incline and follow a winding path. And once you arrive, the creek is so deep that most people don’t bother fishing because they think they won’t catch anything anyway.
But if you’re willing to put in the effort, this hidden spot can be your best chance of catching a fish. In fact, according to one fisherman who frequents the spot, he has caught three different types of fish here – rainbow trout, brown trout and catfish – all of which are delicious.
So if you’re looking for an adventure outside the city and want to try fishing, check out Wanuskewin Provincial Park – it might just become your new favourite spot!
What is the secret to this Edmonton fishing hole?
The secret to this Edmonton fishing hole is that most people do not know it. It is a small and hidden spot that is only accessed by a path that goes through a dense forest. The fishing here is excellent, and the scenery is beautiful.
Here you can connect with nature and experience an escape from the city’s hustle and bustle.
This fishing spot is located on the edge of a large forest and involves going through an overgrown riverside path. You will enjoy walking through thick forests with many old and tall trees here. You will also have a panoramic view of the river, and this spectacular scenery is at its best during autumn when leaves change colour. The water is crystal clear here, so you can easily see fish when they come close. This spot’s secret lies in its remoteness, making it perfect for fishing. The only challenge to accessing this fishing hole is to walk through dense woods.
Why should you go fishing here?
If you’re in the mood for fresh, locally caught seafood and a scenic spot to fish, Edmonton’s Horseshoe Lake is just the place. This little-known fishing hole is located in a quiet stretch of the river, and it’s a perfect spot to relax and enjoy some quality time with family or friends. The lake is well-stocked with native brook trout and other Pacific fish, so you’re guaranteed to snag something delicious on your next outing. Just be sure to put some stealth into your approach – this spot is a secret to everybody!
This river area can get quite cold in the winter, so dress accordingly. To get here, take Highway 16 east from Edmonton. Horseshoe Lake is located on Highway 16, just outside of Wetaskiwin. Please note that there are no public boat launches for this location, but there is a stop along the way for canoe rentals (likely not open in the winter – call ahead).

The fishing gear you’ll need
If you’re looking for a fishing hole off the beaten path, check out the Edmonton River. This river is well known for its trout but is also home to fantastic bass fishing.
The best way to find this spot is to head out to the intersection of 71st Street and 121st Avenue and look for a bridge that stretches over the river. Once you find it, park your car and start exploring.

How to get there?
If you’re looking for a fishing hole nobody knows about, look no further than Edmonton’s notorious ‘Granite Creek.’ It’s a small stream that runs through a residential neighbourhood, and most people there have never heard of it. But if you know where to look, you can find plenty of big fish in Granite Creek.
The area where the stream empties into the river is very shallow, and there’s an excellent way to go from shore to shore on rocks.
It’s a great place to learn about trout fishing – it’s not difficult, but you need to know what you’re doing to catch fish. The water in Granite Creek is clear with a brownish tinge sometimes and an average temperature of around 3°C. You can use many submerged rocks to approach the trout and big trees scattered all over. And no vegetation is higher than your waist, so you should have no trouble spotting them.
Where to go for Trout Fishing: Summer is the best time to try this spot. But if you miss it, you can return during the winter. The best time to fish is between 7:30-8:30 am or 8-9 pm. Also, if you want to try this spot out, go here.
