Got there around 7:30 in the morning, from Calgary. Three of us. We caught 8 pike between us. They went after this lure (http://international.stormlures.com/products/wildeye-live-perch) from Wal-mart like crazy. They were all under the limit of 63cm, but thats okay, it was a lot of fun catching them. The above lure is pretty hard to remove if the fish swallows it whole.. really hope the fish didn't die :(
Neverthless, great day fishing. Someone I had gone ice fishing with like 6 times and spring fishing a few times, and had caught nothing, redeemed herself today. Another friend caught his first fish ever. Wish we had got that on camera, it was really funny. He had no idea what to do once the fish was reeled in, kind of panicked.
As I've read on these forums, the north end along the dam wall is a hotspot. http://goo.gl/maps/s7eV3 - though it's all done on rocks, so very easy to slip and get hurt. I fell backwards today, feet slipped out from under me. Luckily I didn't split my skull, just landed on a flat area.
Might head back there again next weekend :)
