rattlesnake/sauder res.

[Steve51]

Heading out to medicine hat tomorrow. Going to head over to rattlesnake res. Anyone fishing here have any luck or tips? Anything would help. Thanks

Its bin pretty slow this winter. I usually fish just left/north of the boat launch and follow the ridge around the dropoff. Usually manage a few fish a day but nothing too big or fancy. Last time i was out the ice was close to 24"


Hope that helps and good luck

[Steve51]

Well hopefully we have some luck. Are you driving on the ice?

[SturgeonHunter]

Lots of vehicles on ice. I've been driving my one ton on if you need assurance. I've had my shack set up in the narrows all winter and have always caught perch and pike. Perch seem really small this year but lots of action so fun for the kids. Thinking next time out gonna move shack into west side closer to islands and Hutterite colony. Heard there's been some real good pike fishing back there lately. Good luck!85964

Ive never been out there. Any good directions to get around? Or just drive out?

[Fish-Taco]

About the only way to get on is the boat launches in the park. Easiest way anyways. There is no snow on the lake so getting around it is not a problem

[Steve51]

Thanks guys.

So we set up about 200 meters south of tge boat launch. Bout w0 feet deep. Think this will be good?

[Steve51]

We ended up with 2 pike 1 eye and 1 perch.
