yep a few people starting to venture around the corner of garnett. Ice was good where I was with a few heaves showing up here and there. As always use caution on that lake as the ice shifts very frequently.

Ya I actually didn't go out further u til you went by...I followed your tracks then veered off and settled in for about four hours or so....I caught them on a spoon though:scared0015:
Gonna need to work on this skill set. |
We fished one day down at the border at least 10 inches of ice

Was thinking of hanging a left at the provincial park boat launch and heading straight out to what I believe is the hump (3km from the provincial park). Guessing Ice is around 8”. Thinking of targeting 80 FOW. Probably will head out this weekend. Hopefully I’ll have some luck.

Heading out Sunday to try my luck for the full day it’s my first time in cold lake. Do these big cold fronts affect the fishing much? I’m not much of a fisher! Also I won’t be that guy to put the truck on the ice and take a swim with the fish!

Any folks venturing out anywheres in SUV/Truck or just quad so far? I prefer at least 12” of solid ice before I take the SUV out. With the past few nights being so cold I bet we are getting close to that. Truck guage said -36 at 6:30 this morning on the way to work :angry3:

The question is, after this cold spell can a person drive onto Cold lake with a half ton truck? |

any trucks been driving out on the ice yet. hows the fishing been.... thinking of going out next week when it warms up
|
The wife and I went for a coffee and drove to the provincial park after work. There are tracks of guys heading out in trucks from the boat launch. I’ll be one of them tomorrow.
And don’t forget to stop at Emma’s on the way by. Good deserts to grab on the way out. And Cold Lake Krushers. |

There were multiple trucks drive across last week while I was out. I personally wouldn’t at that time but the ice in the deep water has been exponentially thickening.

anybody driving on cold lake? how thick is the ice? hows the fishing been. thinking of headin there tuesday. need to know if i should bring a quad or not. comin. from fort mac... thanks
|
The ice was 8-9” 3 weeks ago in the deep water. Early last week it was 11-16” in the deep water depending on the area. Closer to shore or shallow bays were almost 20” ( if you’re chasing something other than lake trout). I will probably be driving out there myself Monday. Last week there were numerous trucks out WELL past where I was with the quad.
Fishing was slow in the cold. A lot more action before the cold hit. Hoping next week it will be back to normal. Best of luck. |
Had 13 inches of ice out over 100ft of water off the provincial park. The truck didn’t complain. Guys where driving further past us and pretty much everywhere.
|
great. thx for the replies. ill leave the quad at home. yes ill be fishing for lakers. probably try the provincial park and maybe over around the english bay side.
|

Wouldn't be surprised if the ice made a big move this week with the temperature warming up substantially.
