First pike I’ve ever caught on a worm!

Edit* it’s my blood and boy did she get me good 😂

Looking for some helpful information on timing or tips for fly fishing elk creek. Fished a few times in a few different times of year and haven’t caught anything. Really beautiful spots that I would imagine are sure to hold fish, as well as some signage that confirm it is trout territory and a fish and wildlife officer says it holds brown, cutty and brook. Absolutely gorgeous area of the province and would love to catch some fish here but driving up over and over without any catches makes it more difficult to justify. If you know about this area please share some tips!

I plan on heading out there with my spinning rod and some smaller spoons, spinners, and a couple countdown rapala's. I've never fished too far outside of the city (I live in Calgary) and I'd like to know what to expect out there for anyone who's waded/fished either upstream or downstream of the boat launch. I've also heard that the gate entering the parking lot might be closed some times. Any tips are appreciated! Thank you.
