Some spots less ice like 8inches on the 29th on ghost arm side. Make sure to do a few test holes. Mostly ok to drive.

We were out today. Saw a bunch of whitefish on the camera, wouldn't bite anything but the jig head lol Targeted lakers for a couple hours early in the morning and didn't get even a nibble, so we switched to whites. Tough lake to fish.

How deep were the whites you saw on the cam?

20-30 ft. We were fishing a drop off.

Sorry to derail the thread, but I have a legitimate question:

Does anyone know where the legal boundary on the west side of ghost reservoir would run? The boundary that would split the bow river from ghost reservoir.

Has anyone been on the Ghost Reservoir recently? I'm wondering about ice conditions for truck or quad or is only walking advised.

Was there last night. I walked on, but there were guys driving on with light pickups and quads. Ice is super slick -- I nearly fell a couple of times, and opted to fish the North side simply because of the slipperiness of the ice. Ice was 18" +.
