cold has frozen over the marina ice is crap the PP has 5-6 ' of ice at ramp not so good They are fishing at Frenchmens 85 ft of water 8' of ice ok for walk ons sleds and quads if careful. and you can get to the sand bar by way of the slough.

the season has started good luck and be careful


by the way new tackle shack at Evergreen Birch Lodge Cold Lake lots of T.C.Moto tubes. "Angler bait tackle and more"

Anyone travelling the shore around French bay? Was thinking of going along the shore with a skidoo and then walking out into deeper water if there’s reports of 8”

Thanks

Any big heaves visible yet?

Chewie66 12-27-2019 06:49 PM

I didn't do too much exploring but there are some rough patches and one smaller pressure ridge that I could see.

there is one pressure ridge that is cutting the marina and the PP from each other. there is a long crack out from the PP ramp heading towards garnet one day it is closed the next about 2" open with a little top water. fishing a little slow but not to bad.
