Alberta Bush Adventures would like to welcome you to a great fly-in fishing adventure at Thurston Lake in northwestern Alberta for Northern Pike and Walleye. The lake's remoteness and low fishing pressure is why the fishing offers world class trophy Pike and Walleye. The pike are to 30 pounds and walleye to 10 pounds.

3 Full Days of Fishing
We encourage everyone to employ "catch & release" and the use of barbless hooks. It takes many years for a fish to reach trophy size, by releasing them, you will ensure excellent fishing for generations to come. There is nothing wrong with keeping fish to eat, but keep the smaller to medium sized fish for your lunch. The larger fish are always mature females; they hold the gene pools that are responsible for restocking the lake. When you land a trophy pike and/or walleye, quickly remove the hook and take a couple of pictures of the fish. These make the best memories to hang on the wall. A replica of the pike or walleye can be made by a taxidermist from your photo without killing the fish.

Fly-in fishing season for Northern pike and walleye begins approximately June 1st and can go as late as July 10th depending on consecutive bookings. You must have groups of four to get the best rate. There is a maximum of 8 people in camp. Extended fly-in fishing trips can be arranged.
