Think open water fishing season is over? Not even close. 🎣

Fall fishing in Alberta is unbelievable—and there may be more fish waiting than you’d expect. Just look at this beautiful rainbow trout caught this week at Lower Chain Lake!

Pack your gear and take a drive out of town this long weekend. Whether you’re after northern pike, walleye, rainbow trout or whitefish, your next great catch could be closer than you think.

🎥 Meet PC449—also known as Chinsleigh
Chinsleigh is one of six lucky pronghorn fitted with a video collar, giving us a unique look at life from a pronghorn’s perspective.
Captured south of Cavendish, AB, in December 2025, Chinsleigh quickly demonstrated how extensively pronghorn can move across the landscape. From December 18 to 22, she travelled roughly 80 km south to an area north of Redcliff, AB. She later returned toward her capture area and, in February, completed a roughly 30-kilometre loop around White Horse Lake.
Our team is diligently reviewing Chinsleigh’s footage, and we’ll be sharing it on ACA’s website very soon. Stay tuned for a pronghorn-eye view of Alberta’s grasslands!
