with all this warm weather i was wondering how sylvan is holding up? is the snow all gone? are access spots ok? if someone was out any info would be nice!!! I have a shack there but live in Calgary. I was thinking the ice will be thick enough to drive on for last 2 weeks of fishing...but heck if i know...LOL

tnx

got to the lake....launch is pretty rutted....4x4 a must....id say 80% of the shacks are off the ice. but fishing was good. Im taking my shack off in monday and storing it!!!

one shack was on fire last night....i raced over to see if they needed help. they lit it on fire purposely as it froze to the ice and they couldnt mive it. Man was it a site to see a shack on full fire in the fog!!!!

Good to hear. Last year as I recall. Some of the locals had to take off some of the last few shacks.

if anyone has or is going to fish sylvan today or in the next couple day a update if it is still fishable would be appreciated. I wanna head out but dont know if ice is safe to walk on or not.

tnx

dudes still driving on, I walked on, the launch at sunbreaker was pooling water.
Saw quite a few walleye pike whites, a burb, perch too, problem was they were sitting staring lots of hook washing today landed a few walleye, whites were interested for a bit but didn't land any, beautiful day, geese kept me company

Fished off 21 yesterday.(half moon bay) Ice is very thick, almost bottomed out my motor before getting through.

Water is very clear, decent whites in 12FOW (smallish) all in all a good morning.

Drove on no issues, starting to get wet at launch but no issues with 4x4 should be good to the season end.

Just to chime in, we spent the afternoon at Sunbreaker today. Boat launch was a little wet but 4x4 gets you in and out no problem. As has been noted ice is crazy thick and we barely punched holes without extension. All burbs and walters where we were, in 10-12 FOW...
