Drove in to the lake on fri. Ap. 2. The lake was still froze with a couple of feet of surface water around the edge open. Outflow will be the first to open in about a week I would guess.

thanks for the info.
was there a lot of snow out there?
how was access? muddy as hec i,ll bet?

thanks

horrible fishing must have got partially or entirely winterkilled or something sat there all day without a bite!

How was the water clarity? What dept were you fishing

I have never seen it winterkill at Severns but the fishing can be tough if the water is dirty.

i dunno guys... Three feet of ice locked up solid untill. Well now
theres some guys sayin that travers and mc gregor got wintekilled besides not all o the fish have to die, it coulb be bout 80% winterkill, only the hardy ones survive...

Alum treatments are cost effective and have long term beneficial effects i don't know why the government doesn't do these treatments on any lakes. They do it in the states to stop winterkills.

Severn is too deep to winter kill. Not easy to fish there in winter.

Travers and Mcgregor most definitely winter killed. 90-95% of fish are gone, so I wouldn't worry about fishing any of these lakes anymore.

mc gregor and travers are mutch deeper than sev will ever be so if theyre winter killed then sev is most definetly killed off
plus travers is much bigger with clearer water as the algae blooms arent so big

I concur - severe winter kill in Mac and Travers. It looks like Eagle is the hot spot for this summer.

Eagle is the hot spot every summer, just remember no open flames within 1/2 mile of the lake, and dont forget your noseplugs. Almost as bad as sharing an ice fishing tent with JTS1!!!

Have you guys seen dead fish under the ice in Travers, Bigmac and Newell? If these lakes winterkilled there won't be many options for fishing down south.

Yes, has anyone actually seen evidence of winterkill at these lakes?

I'm having a hard time believing any of this.

I was out at newell in the middle of march and we were catching fish, I have a hard time seeing how those big deep lakes like mcgregor and travers winterkilling, that sort of thing normally happens in smaller shallow lakes does it not?

they're jostlin you guys, travers, gregor and newell are fine, so is severn.

No, No, No, they have winter killed. Trust me.
Dodger.

oh,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,no,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,that is sad,,, so the 15lb walleye i saw beneath the ice at mcgregor is dead? how'd he get that big? oh well time to find new lakes,, sigh.....:(
