January 19th - ice is about 1.5 feet. Not a single bit.

Ice report: 3 inches Drilled a few test holes along the parking lot side about 20ft out and anywhere from 2.5 to 3.5 inches. Cold weather coming tomorrow should likely make it safe to walk on by the weekend.

The water was murky and the pond doesnt have much deep water for good sized fish. I tried everything in the box with live work bait and spinners, imitation minnows and pickers rigs... Nothing in the course of three hours, even using 4 pound invisible test during prime feeding times. Too well feed I guess...

Ice Report: 8 in

A couple of weeks ago, my kids and I caught 15 fish on bobbers and power bait. Been back 3 or 4 times since and had no luck with bobbers. I think the lake has been fished out pretty good. Last night I had some luck with spinner flies. 5-9pm

Water very murky. Not a single rise. Tried spinners , flies, marshmallows, dough..... Didn't appear that any fish were being caught this afternoon. 11-3 pm we fished

Caught 4 little guys. About a dozen hits. Used small black & white Len Thompson.

Went at the beginning of May and caught 41 rainbows in about 6 hours using simulation corn bait.

People have had lots of luck fly fishing with dry flies, using mini colored marshmallows, worms, corn. sometimes even spinners. I think because it has been cold and it did snow after they stocked it maybe we have to wait acouple weeks before going back. i went on the 24th and didnt see 1 fish jump.

What do you recommend using at mclean ? Spent 6 hours there today and not a single bite .

I went the other weekend to and didnt see anything jumping at all and it was stocked with around 3600 fish in the middle of april. I think it was because it was kind of cold and it did rain alot so the water was pretty dirty

I went there today not a single bite but it says it's been stocked on April but I can't even see a single fish that's jumping.

Look on mywildalberta.com to check what's stocked

I would like to know if it's ready to go and if there are some fishes in there.

Caught 10 fish in 3 hrs. Very good place, its beautiful and I even saw a beaver once.. The fish were maybe 8" and bigger.

Can anyone tell me if there are still a few fish in this pond? I would like to make a trip out there soon! Thanks in advance!

Loved it there. Very nice spot. Fish were a little small. But caught quite a few!

Today was good, lots of fish rising taking a dry fly. Not very big tho.

A lot of fish jumping 1 hour got me 7 fishes

Hello, anyone wen fishing this week? How was it? Im planning to go tomorrow but kind a worry if there is still fish.

I fished this lake from a float tube and had great fun. Caught about 40 fish between my buddy and I. Size ranges from 5 to 14 inch And taking anything on a leach or bead head Fly.

Did you catch anything Neil?

March 10 2015: Ice fishing at McLean Pond was not productive on the intake end. By the dam (outlet end) the water was clearer. Corn niblets and worms had no bites at all. A small silver Swedish Jig was the most productive although there were a few bites on a small brass jig.

Canoe might be good, pond is pretty small, I have not been back. Had no bite when we went. Nice spot, just been going west of Calgary instead of south lately. Have fun and good luck.

Has anyone been to McLean Pond lately? Does the pond still exist in some form or another? Would it be advantageous to fish from a canoe? Are the fish biting and what bait/lures are working? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Has anyone been up to McLean Pond lately?

My boys and I were there today. Water was very muddy. Warden says it will clear in 1-2 weeks. Any suggestions on bait for Trout?

I was there yesterday and I stop counting after 15... I got at least 30-35 only on Small peaces of worm.staied at the first bench beside the dam. Goodluck

Fished here few times before in afternoon here now since 7 am no movement no luck anytime I've been here

I wrote that one about Dewitt's Pond. We only spoke to the conservation officers at McLean Pond. They did say it was stocked. We didn't get any bites. Nice day with some rain just as we left.

It was stocked May 12. Lots of people yesterday. We only caught weeds. Someone else told us he had caught a couple of rainbows the night before around 10 PM.

Pond at camp ground is still there but Allen bill is gone

McLean pond is gone. The flood totally changed it. The pond is now the Elbow River.

Anyone been out there lately? Catch anything and what did you use? Head up this weekend.

When they will stock fish again in this lake?

Caught a 10 inch rainbow on August 10 with fly rod. Boy that was fun

Had a great time at McLean with my family on Father's Day and caught two nice rainbows on spin rods - my son's first trout! Lots of surfacing, lots of people and pressure.

Fishing for 1 hour, no bites

Spent 4 hrs today no bites I suspect it's been fished out. Anybody know different?

There between 6:30 - 7:00pm with a fly rod. Lots of people with spinner rods. Was a couple of fish jump but no bites. Noticed no one else was catching either.

Fished McLean pond for 3 hours today and caught on small trout. There were about 15 others either fly fishing or bait fishing and only witnessed on other catching a very small fish. Water is still murky and fish are very small.

McLean pond water is extremely murky and hard to fish, can't imagine fish are too good but never caught any so don't really know!! any idea what to use there?

are there any fish left in Mclean pond from last year or has it to be stocked first?

Pond is wide open now

I've Is still on and pretty thick

Probably 20" of ice. Water was pretty dirty, like clay colour. Never caught anything, doubtful that trout live in that water! Must take McLean Creek turnoff to get to McLean Pond.

Any luck

Great spot. 24 or so inches of ice. Lots of action. Caught a few.
