Anyone been out this week and can let me know if it is worth driving out mid week this week to Crawling Valley?

gramps, went out today again the fishing was terrible, four of us went out caught 2 pike and 1 walleye they werent biting good at all. somedays out there are good some are bad. Are u familiar with the lake?

[calgarygringo]

We find each year we work in front of the big set of islands on the east side or go about half way up the west side and fish in front of the small islands.
Fish in 10-13 feet of water.
What was the ice thickness when you were there?

While not totally in the same area code Blood Indian had 10-12 inches of ice.....

Crawling has 12 - 16 inches depending on depth of water, we fish the north end! Cowboy Al, we were at blood this weekend to and had allright luck fishing on the west end! How did u make out?

Went to rock lake this weekend it had 14" of good clear flat ice. Was there from 8:30 am till 5ish PM caught 2 keepers and 3 not, missed a few, the bite was terrible till 3:45pm then pick up.

Took the family out to Blood on Saturday,ice was about 12" fished the East side, had fish in the camera all day as well as one furry critter decided to have a peek in the ice hut,yeah, had a muskrat in for a visit,my daughter wasn't too impressed with his presence ...I thought it was amusing,needless to say it left the hut with a sore nose:D . We ended up with 4 trout and had many more bites,just couldn't hook them.

How big were the trout at blood? What were u using?

[Winch101]

Far be it from me to question one of the premium anglers

to ever come out of the green machine province , but just out of curiosity

did you use any secret bait .....LMAO

[Cowboy Al]

We fished the North end at Blood. I was using jigs, the other boys had success on powerbait (pink and green) and the most hits were on a set line rigged with a good ole worm. We could have kept our limit of decent fish but just wanted 3 for supper. Biggest was just over a pound.
