Boxing Day Icefishing

[brianscott]

I was wondering how many members will be out on the ice on boxing day?

I might hit lower K, or some other lake for some trout.

Where are you guys headed?

[Wulfespirit]

North of Edmonton somewhere - not sure yet. Looking like very mild weather up this way (on Saturday anyway) - should be nice.

[WayneChristie]

Medicine Hat to pick up a new heater, tired of getting high on kerosene fumes :lol: But Sunday look out, plan on fishing every day next week. Maybe a different lake each day, unless I find a new hotspot. Anyone coming down this way say hello.

[Duster]

Will be at CVR friday till monday should be good with the nice weather.

[pondstomper]

Going fishing tommorrow, probably bruce lake. Lots of scuds(shrimps) in there, supprised noone has caught anything other than pike there. Perch? Whitefish? The pike just cruise around like whales opening there mouth and swimming through swarms of shrimps. Not that they won't take smelts or a herring. :)

[DaveFish]

Going up to peanut, gonna test out my christmas presents that I'm pretty sure I'm getting.

[75ft Arborist]

Going to try Upper K with my dad :) No better way to spend boxing day imo.

[beermilk]

for sure gonna be making my first trip of the winter on boxing day. now that my ankle is about 90% atleast i can get my boot on anyways :)

[dodger]

I'll be down South by Scope or Keho.
Dodger.

[baitfisher83]

If I can get out i'll be fishing Boxing Day....but need someone with wheels..lol

[WayneChristie]

I'll be down South by Scope or Keho.
Dodger.

I got a depth chart for Scope, should be able to find the perch now ;) Do you use Anglers atlas? thats where I got it

[oagie]

I am heading down to Chain Lakes (south) with the kids for some pan fry Rainbows.

[brianscott]

Going to try Upper K with my dad :) No better way to spend boxing day imo.


How is upper K, I have never fished it. I am still pretty new to the province.
Might be worth it to try something new. I want to try out my new hut and heater.

How is access with a sled style hut?

[75ft Arborist]

Upper K, cant beat the scenery! Fishing is fishing, some good days some bad:rolleye2: Cutts, Bulls, and the odd Bow. Crystal clear lake, no bait allowed! Some days really windy others t-shirt and sunburn (yes while ice-fishing). Access; low water levels in winter make it easy for getting onto the lake but, getting off is a bit of an up hill climb. Lake can be accessed by two different parking lots, both at Dams.

[brianscott]

Well i might just have to try it out, sounds like a good variety of fish.
I have a green 95 chev extended cab and a matching green topper. I will be in a Clam Nanook and it will have my AO Handle on it as well.

I hope to see you out there.

[ULTRAlite]

Boxing Day is a garunteed fishin day in our family. Good luck all, and play safe.

[deanmc]

Pegasus AKA "Little McLeod" hoping for Whitefish!:wave:

[pondstomper]

hope everyone is having a safe and merry xmas. Good luck fishing, and be safe out on the ice.

[matathonman]

Nobody fishing badger or what? I'm heading out there to catch some big pike with my new tip-ups i'm gittin in the mornin! I got other rigs but always a good excuse to go out with new gear to try it out. I'll be there probably in my dodge work truck so if ya see me there don't be afraid to say hi, have a drink and if your lucky your on time for lunch! Tight lines boys(and girls).

[Lethbridge_1]

Payne Lake for the morning, then the family hockey game in the afternoon.

[ROAD HAMMER]

Im headin to Buffalo Lake to scenic sands to do the pike slam then a big fish fry on the lake.

[cujo1969]

[Perchfisher]

[baitfisher83]

[Deb]

Brrrr ... just got to Pine Lake a couple of hours ago, -22. But it's quiet and peaceful :) It was light when we got here, not much more snow on the lake compared to last week, but we're hoping the ice is thicker.

We'll be here probably until Monday, please stop by to say hi ... two old farts with a couple of quads and maybe a couple of dogs

[Geezle]

Looks like everyones goin out but me...lol
If it makes you feel any better, I'm not going out either :wave:

[SCRUB]

What lake are you planning on going to, As i'm going to head out i think, probably just hit up gregoire lake I'll be in my new Clam Nanook shelter by the boat launch at the provincial park side.
