Any info on Lac Ste Anne?

Ribolovac · #**302** 12-30-2020, 06:27 PM

Went to spring lake today. No fish. Ice ranged from about 12” to 16”. Was surprised by the difference hole to hole.

Anybody been on chain lakes res lately? I’m thinking about taking the boy out for his first ice fish this weekend and hoping it’s thick enough to not worry

muzzy · #**306** 12-30-2020, 09:32 PM

Been out last 3 days. Shacks starting to get out and lots half tons driving lake.17 inches clear dark ice.no snow to speak of on lake. Slippery footing.bite has been very good, tons pike and having hard time finding walleye under 50 cm for my tags. Everything mid 50's

Goater90 · #**307** 12-31-2020, 04:33 AM

Any updates on Sylvan ice thickness the last few days? Saw a few half tons out last week at Palm. Wondering if many HD's out on the ice.

24 inches plus
Cars and trucks all over the ice

NSR_RAT · #**310** 01-01-2021, 09:18 AM

Any recent ice reports for Amisk Lake?

maverick · #**311** 01-02-2021, 09:20 AM

We were on Badger Lake yesterday only 4 inches of ice. We drilled holes in 8 feet of water and out to 15 feet no change in thickness.

Lowrance Fishburn · #**312** 01-02-2021, 07:32 PM

Anyone have any updates on Calling lake? Have heard some varying levels of ice thickness as well as a big heave or two. Anyone know if it’s passable? Planning on heading up next weekend with the half ton and a 6x12 trailer converted to an ice shack in tow. Wanna make sure it’s safe enough thickness wise as well as able to reach the hump and VW point with the ice heave. Much appreciated. Cheers.

I would not trust this, there is half of that in other places. In twenty holes I didn't have more than 16"

Scottmisfits · #**315** 01-03-2021, 07:38 AM

Dad and I were at Chain yesterday. Where we set up there was 6-7" of ice. We did see someone out with a small SUV, Rav 4 size, a 4 seater side by side, and a tracked Argo driving across the ice. We were a little past halfway on the north 80 feet from the east Bank.

I agree I found there to be roughly 16" of ice out from the provincial park. Be safe out there.

muzzy · #**317** 01-03-2021, 10:13 AM

Lac la nonne yesterday ice was 12-13 inches only one to two inches snow on lake. Lots of booming and cracking sounds when driving. Lots people out fishing. Fishing really slow

NSR_RAT · #**318** 01-03-2021, 12:32 PM

14-16 inches of clear black ice from the boat launch all the way around the point across from the launch to the east, 1-2 inches of snow, lots of trucks out on the ice, ice was constantly making noise all day, very slow fishing drilled somewhere around 40 holes and they weren’t agressive at all.

elk eater · #**319** 01-03-2021, 03:42 PM

Lac Ste Anne today was 16”. Measured with a tape. 70 yards out from West cove. Lots of trucks on the ice. Couple small pike in 3 hrs.

Mark · #**320** 01-03-2021, 05:41 PM

Any updates on ice conditions at Eagle Lake by Strathmore?

Anybody driving on the lake yet?

Thanks in advance.

Tons of shacks and people driving on Friday good ice and decent fishing even

Can report that ice is getting ****ty on the north end of Newell. Had been 15" a week or so ago, then down to about 12 on Saturday. Word on social media is a truck went through at some point Saturday. We drove to and from the island north of Kinbrook launch, but likely got out of there just in time. Yikes. Not sure about the south end of the lake, as Jackfish Bay seemed to have dozens and dozens of vehicles out around the island. We didn't attempt it (wind was bonkers) but seems like ice may be thicker on the south end.

I'm on the hunt for a 30" walleye in that lake. I know they exist, so we make the trek from Olds to Brooks almost every weekend to try and find 'em. A 25 is my best so far. Have no real interest in the pike in that lake...just want to find a tanker walleye.

Yup they are there.
We caught many this summer between 24-30”.
Last February we only got one through the ice but was 27.5”

Awesome... Glad to hear it! Hoping to trade off our 14 foot Lund on an 18' this summer so I can target em then too.

Here's to finding the big mama's!
