About Milk River Ridge Reservoir

Set in Alberta, Canada, Milk River Ridge Reservoir is a reservoir that holds the typical mix of warm-water and cool-water species you'd expect for the area.

Fishing Techniques

• For Walleye

  Focus your efforts around dawn and dusk, as walleye are typically more active during these low-light periods; use a slow, deliberate retrieve, as walleye often prefer a subtle presentation.

• For Largemouth bass

  Vary your retrieve speed and lure presentation until you find what the bass are keying on, as their preferences can change daily based on weather and water conditions.

• For Northern pike

  Vary your retrieval speed and add pauses to entice strikes, especially in colder water.
