Default There She Blows

Heads-Up. The wind was absolutely howling on Cold Lake yesterday from the NW. We called her quits around 12:00noon and was very tough trucking back to shore. Snow packed up in the truck and is still melting off in my garage. She'll be drifted in pretty bad I would suspect especially on the Southern shore.

Agreed. Never caught a Laker in water over 100ft, likely because we never target them over 100ft as it is way easier on the fish and it is much easier to fish. Fishing deep on a very deep lake like Cold is a misconception.

Marie creek does not flow into Cold Lake. Only major system flowing into Cold are the Martineau (North) and Medley (West).
