Calling lake report

[Sea Hawk]

Finally got out to calling this afternoon.we wondered what the access would be. Drove on on the east side north of the tower. The ice ridge near shore is still only about 2 feet high and no problem to drive over. We found the snow to be about a foot deep near shore but only about 6 to 8 inches out on the lake. Will be needing an extension soon as the auger motor was down to the snow before it drilled through. No problem to drive even to break your own trail. Walleyes bit towards evening and our keekers were males. Rained the whole time we were there.

Thanks for the update Seahawk!!

I was with Sportsman and NSR on the weekend in the - 30 C on Sunday and while it was very calm, it was very cold. Lots of things did not like the cold, but the fish were there.

Could not find the perch, but ling, walleye, pike, and a lot of hits that had to have been ling!!!

Ice was very thick though!!!

Hope the trails did not blow in as it was a job to cut trail across the lake with the heavy crust on the snow, but once broke it was OK driving.

The East side did have some heavy snow at the drive on, but once on the ice it was not bad.

Does any one know what access at provincial park boat launch is like , heard access was bad cause of ice heave.

[Sea Hawk]

I have not tried the provincial launch. We have been driving on north of the tower. As drewski said there is a hard crust out on the lake that makes it slow going but the snow is not deep. That big wind we had the other night could have piled up the snow along shore, which could make getting on a challenge. We did see trucks on the ice off to the north where the ice shacks are so there must be an access point up there.

There is a huge heave in front of the provincial park launches. I found the access point near the tower and one further north.
How deep were you guys having luck?

Me and Drewski and Sportman tried 8-10 feet deep out in front of the cabins and found some walleye, a few were just inside the slot size. Enough for a fish fry the first day at least! There's some shacks planted in the area for a reason I guess haha.

That's as good a place to start as any.
