Southern Alberta ice reports
Any one have any ice reports in the south part of the province? Mainly Calgary and south. Kid is wanting to get out and I want to make their enough safe ice to venture out. Thx!

Was at Chain off of 22 a few hours ago, it had around 1 unch of ice. No good for a while yet
Dalemead east of Calgary had about 5 inches yesterday. Still use caution, especially with the kiddos

4 nights in a row with predicted -14-18 C will do it.

Ya, should build 1-2 inches of ice in that time frame in the shallow waters, not so sure about the deeper stuff, be real careful out there

Solid 8 inch today by north dam. Fishing was good too, got 3 burbot and 3 whitefish. Interestingly, all burbot bellies were stuffed with 1-2 inch crayfish. About 10 years ago we would find tons of little perch in them, not anymore, not a single found today. Zero limit pike and walleye sure has something to do with it I think.

Thanks for the update we were heading to either spray or upper kananakis ans worried ice might not be thick enough. 6 in is good!

Heading out to our fave southern AB walleye destination next Sunday, so i'm hopeful. Forecast looks like ice making weather all this week, so should be solid walk-on ice by the weekend. It's time!!

If this cold snap continues, we should see near 1" of new ice every night....in southern Alberta alone...
I am waiting for January 01 for a hard base to walk one... But that is just me.....Driving on the ice is a whole different animal....
Stay safe....

South Ab ice
With a fast freeze like this keep an eye out for ice breakers, they can ruin a fishing trip in short order.

Beaver Mines Lake
We were out at Beaver Mines Lake today (Dec. 19), the ice was about 5" where we were near the scout camp.
