Ice off yet? snipe, sturgeon, carson?

[xp 154]

Just wondering if snipe lake, sturgeon lake or carson lake is ice free yet? Also are you allowed gas motors in swan lake?

Ice is still on snipe and sturg.
No gas motors on swan but its open enough to "play"

Any updates? I heard Carson is ice free, any word on the others? Thanks

Was out at Sturgeon yesterday no ice on the lake caught 6 walleye 3 of which were all 3.5lbs - 4lbs caught one jack that was 7.5

Fished Snipe today. First open-water trip of the season. No ice to be seen...and no fish either. I fished the south end of the lake for the first time (I usually stick to the north). Was going for big pike and figured they'd be in shallow. After trolling, casting and jigging for about 4 hours and getting nothing I called it a day. I had marked some fish but they just weren't interested. Off to Sturgeon tomorrow and hoping for some better luck. It's been a while since I've been skunked and it burns! Still beats work though!
