Lac La Nonne across from Birch Cove there was 4 to 5 inches where I checked.
At the launch by the store on the east side of lake was told 6 inches. Quads and SXS’s on the ice there. Never checked the thickness myself.

Spring Lake - Stony Plain
Sorry, yes it was Spring Lake west of Edmonton. I forgot that we have so many lakes in Alberta we have too reuse names. Lol!

Crawling Valley had 4-5 inches of good hard clear ice on Sunday. Fishing was slow though, 8 fish in 5.5hours. Campground gates are open and someone drove a quad onto the ice and was fishing the west side. 4 groups fished the outlet bay. Judging by the amount of holes everyone was drilling throughout the day I'm guessing the bite was slow for everyone.

No, I was told earlier in the thread to go to Grandview. Started at the boat launch there and basically went straight out. Saw one fish on the camera and that's about it. Was really quiet. When things get thick all over, I think I want to try by the big weed bed directly across the lake from Grandview.

Were you there on Sunday with the quad and clam flip tent? I was on the quad with the black shack. Slow day for me. Only one small pike. Moved 8 times fished 6’ to 16’.

That was me. We tried 3 points before we ran out of juice. (Little over cautious checking the ice) Had a small flurry of walleye and a couple of dinker pike.

No walleye seen. Lots of whites seen. No takers. Can’t figure them out on pigeon. Sylvan and gull no problem. Pigeon, battle, and buck..... can’t get them to commit. Sigh.....

Just saw a report for Sunbreaker at Sylvan. 6" about 200m out from the launch. Not very much, and only going to shrink with this warm weather over the next week. Shame. Might be a few weeks yet before there's really good, safe ice at Sunbreaker area...

heading out toward Sundre/Caroline areas to get a Christmas tree off crown land this weekend, and thinking we might pop up there and drill a few holes. The wife is all hot n bothered about catching Brookies and Browns. Thanks for the update!

Birch lake
Only managed 3 little brookies. 1 on a brass coloured small tungsten jig I usually use for perch
tipped with shrimp and the other 2 on a little green nymph under the jig. A few others cruised by and had a look but weren't interested. I was 7ft of water.
I haven't been there in a few years and probably won't be going back, nice lake but not a ton of fish and better options closer to south calgary.
