Finnaly got my kids for holidays. Going to take them fishing on boxing day. Has anyone been to either lake this year. What are the conditions like?

Devil's would be a good bet to stay off of until atleast mid-January...too many springs to take a chance on driving on it.....you could walk on probably, but it has been getting progressively worse for ice fishing over the past few years.

I would not go to either one. Think there is better fishing in a lot of other lakes. If you can drive for a ways Carson is the place for the kids to have a lot of fun. Don't know what the ice is like at Wabmun but you could have fun there with big pike C&R only. Some of the trout lakes west of ED could be very good as well. Don't think the perch are biteing at Isle yet and they are hard to find. Im gonna try to hit up Pigeon over the holidays. Think the Whites might turn on there.

The ice at Wab is good for walking on, but I wouldn't drive on for at least a few more weeks...especially with the amount of snow on it now. Ice is relatively thick 8-12" but quality is questionable...couple inches of flood ice on top in places, and very bubbly ice in others.
