Another guy looking for ice conditions....Potholes west of Edmonton

[FishingFrenzy]

I know theres been tons of threads on this topic in the past 4 weeks but...here's another one...


Looking to hit up the potholes west of edmonton tomorrow. Chickakoo, Sauer, Spring, maybe Jackfish

If anyones been out that way recently an ice report would be great. Im sure it will be 5+inches but with the warm weather this week Im hoping it will still be fine for a little icefishing.

Any info is much appreciated!!!

The effect of the warm weather this week on ice conditions will be minimal

[FishingFrenzy]

Yeah thats what I was hoping/thinkin.

If it was 6-8 last week it should be similar this week.

Catch any fish out there? Are they all stockers?

I was out on Jackfish today and the ice was 8+" with a few inches of snow. The water was really murky. I lost sight of my hook at 5 feet down when I was in my tent. Must be from the turnover before freeze over.
