Thanks for the advice man! One of the best things about spearfishing is how welcoming the community is. Hope you can make it out with us. I will let you know how it goes if I don't see you out there.

Awesome day on Saturday at West Twin. Big thanks to Erik for the tip! Great vs - up to 15-20 ft at times. HUNDREDS of perch was not an exaggeration either! The burbot were out too and we went home with plenty of both. Will head out there again for sure!

Anyone heading out anywhere this weekend? Let me know, I'd love to join!

Hi guys , who is going to spearfish around Calgary in Aug-Sep? I would like to join

 

[MikeInProgress]

Any freedivers/spearfishers on this thread still active? I'm new to freediving and based in Edmonton, would like to meet up and dive if anyone is interested

I'm based out of Calgary. Haven't been out by reddeer yet but might be interested in meeting up.

I'll be in Calgary this weekend for stampede, but maybe can do some diving saturday or sunday morning if you're free. Do you know any good spots around Calgary?

 

[403Jeeping]

I know a couple but as of last week they still had low visibility. Only abut 1foot.

But I'm expecting that to change it the next week or two.

Always around here in Calgary and always up for a dive. Vis is pretty bad right now (as are the regulations in Alberta), but hopefully at least one of those things will change soon!

Do you know any good spots out north of Calgary. Was going to take the boat out that way in August for the long weekend. Haven't really thought that far ahead.

Up here around Calgary there are a few good places to go.

Bearpaw Dam once it's cleaned up is a good one but it's a long float and swim back to the vehicles. Mostly private land along the banks but there is a boat launch one can pull out and park a vehicle at.

Bow River around fish Creek park has some good hunting grounds once clear.

Elbow river has some good hunting grounds as well once it's cleaned up

Where abouts have you been out in Calgary area as of late? You wouldn't be Cody by chance?

Always Interested in hooking up with some diving buddies. Weekends I'm usually busy on the lake with the family boating. But during the week after work in the evenings I like to sneak out after work.

If your interested in hooking up for a dive let me know.

No not Cody. In calgary itself I have gone in the reservoir and the bow but they aren't fantastic. West twin lake northwest of here is a great dive. Probably my favorite in Alberta so far. Looking at heading out to sask at some point here to check it out.

I was thinking about going diving Sunday at West twin lake if anyone wants to join. I'm also open to exploring new areas if anyone has any good spots

Interesting thread! If anyone is still active on these forums I host a Facebook page Spearfishing Saskatchewan/Alberta. Descent # of members but always looking to grow with like minded people. Also if anyone is planning dives in the coming year hit me up, spearing or freediving is all good.
