Hinton Map

[BigA]

I'm heading down to hinton on the August long weekend and can't wait to wet a line. Only thing, I have no idea where to go. I called Tourism Hinton and they told me to get a copy of a recreation map from Hinton Wood Products. The map lists all the back roads, logging roads, and streams in the area. It also list what types of fish are in the streams. I've tried emailing them several times to get the map, but no replies.

I know I can get the map once I am there, but I would like to study it a bit before I go to get an idea of where I am going to fish. Does anyone have a copy of this map or alternative info on how to get one?

Any help or replies would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I was planning on fishing. Not sure where yet though. I don't have a boat, and I only have a small car, so preferably a stream with some nice trout, that has easy access and within 30 min drive of the campground would be best. We are staying at the Willowbrook RV Resort east of Hinton. Heard that there are a ton of small streams around that are worth checking out. Can't seem to find any info anywhere though.

Are there some good fishing streams that fall in that catagory? I guess I could always fish the Athabasca, but I thought that trying the tributaries would be better.

I can't remember the distances but South of Hinton where the Gregg River meets the Macloud (spelling) was good from what I recall and there are Camp Grounds there and to the North towards Grand Cache there the Big Burlin and Little Burlin. Any others spot I hit we Quaded in for half a day down cutlines and trails. Have Fun

Why don't you contact the Fish & Wildlife or Forestry office there and ask them? They'll know all the good spots and how to find them.
