I have been told to jig the narrows but have never ice fished there. I have only been there once in the boat and we ended up fishing for only a couple hours with not a single bite. We marked fish in a few spots but nothing would eat. It could have been the time of day but who knows. My buddy was out there a couple weekends ago and didn't get anything either.

Good luck if you head out there and post some pics if you do get into some fish.

Its not that the locals, are tight lipped.It is a very hard lake to fish, until ice
is off.Very few people have luck through the ice on this lake, and now it is very dangerous, lots of open water in unusual places.If you go on, be extremely careful.

Spent waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much time on the boat to even think about going out on the ice.

Supposed to be some nice lakers in their but I haven't seen one or seen one caught in I don't know how many times out.

Too many good lakes around to waste time at Crowsnest.
