Marl Creek Provincial Park protects remnant old growth forest and ecologically important wetland habitat along the western shores of the Columbia River. The park is located immediately adjacent to the confluence of Waitabit Creek and the Columbia River and is on one of the last remaining natural stretches of the Columbia River. The Columbia River Wildlife Management Area is within close vicinity to the park and reinforces the park’s role in complementing and buffering this globally significant wetland

Calling Lake
Rock Lake is a small, deep, very attractive lake situated in the front ranges of the Rocky Mountains. It is located in Improvement District No. 14, 75 km northwest of the town of Hinton, 4 km north of Jasper National Park and 1 km east of Willmore Wilderness Park (Fig. 1). Well-defined trails into these areas begin near Rock Lake, so the lake is an excellent staging area for back-country hiking and horseback trips. To reach the lake from Hinton, take Highway 16 southwest for 8 km to its junction with Highway 40. Travel north for 37 km on Highway 40, then travel west for 32 km on an all-season gravel road that leads directly into Rock Lake Forest Recreation Area. The road usually is not ploughed to the lake in winter. http://sunsite.ualberta.ca/Projects/Alberta-Lakes/view/?region=Peace%20and%20Athabasca%20Region&basin=Athabasca%20River%20Basin&lake=Rock%20Lake&number=42

Alan at Battle Lake First ice at 2008
First ice attempt at December 2008 Battle Lake. Battle Lake is located about 50 km west of Wetaskiwan on HWY 13 between Falun and Winfield. It is a long skinny lake that produces Pike, Pickeral, and Whitefish. None of these fish are can be classified as lunkers, but some Pike do grow to be 10 pounds and Whitefish grow up to 5 pounds. The Walleye in this lake was last stocked in 1993 and is reported to be adapting well. The best place to fish this lake is the South east end of the lake that forms the Battle River. Fish the mouth of the river where all the weeds are with a 5 of diamonds or a weedless jig or spoon. If it's Whitefish your after, go closer to the center of the lake, but fish no deeper than 20 feet, use a #8 snelled hook with maggots or worms, possibly Berkly Power Eggs depending on the time of the year. To catch the Walleye or Pike use a minnow replica, flatfish, or a medium sized spoon. There is a boat launch, but the speed limit on the lake is 12km/hr.

At Fawset Lake January 2009
Taras lives walleye free. At Fawset Lake 2009. Walleye are also called walleyed pike, pickerel, jackfish, dore, and ol' marble eyes. The sides of the walleye are olive-green with gold flecks. The spiny dorsal fin lacks spots, but has a black rear base. The lower lobe of the tail has a white tip. Strong fighters, walleyes stay deep and wage a determined battle. Walleyes are light sensitive. They have a layer of pigment in the retina of the eye called the "Tapetum lucidum". Because of their light-sensitive eyes, they bite best around dusk and dawn, at night, or in cloudy weather. Popular baits and lures include minnows, nightcrawlers, leeches, jigs, spinners, and plugs, especially minnow plugs. Most numerous in large, windswept natural lakes of moderate to low clarity. They can also be found in smaller lakes, reservoirs, and rivers and streams with moderate current. Walleyes prefer clean, hard bottoms and water temperature from 65 to 75 degrees F
