Checked out Chain Lakes (by Clive/Ponoka) this morning.

The lowest lake had 7" all the way across.

Out at Eagle lake near Strathmore right now, 5" of good ice. Fishing is very slow. One pike in 3 hours, hope it picks up!

Thanks tips. He didn't ask for the regulations, he asked for ice conditions. Maybe he wants to know how the ice is developing. Maybing he has a secret lake in the area and rather than naming that lake, he asks about the lake that people likely see everyday. Maybe he drives his snow mobile across the lake to his buddies house to play poker on friday nights.

Thank you for contributing nothing

Thx tips is one of the most sarcastic rude comments that can be made and is far worse than anything he said, maybe your welcome at sask outdoorsman because your only dragging this place down.

Thank you. Never knew this. Now if I plan to fish the lake I will know without having to look it up, when I can fish it.
Learned something today.

8" of good ice at Wab town. The flooding has begun as well. It's not really bad yet, but I'm not optimistic.

I was 50-60 yards past the end of the dock in about 8 feet of water. Saw millions of <4" perch, caught the only 2 pike I saw( both between 5 & 10 lbs), and lost a 3rd on the tip-up. Fished about 4 hours.

Any new reports for the potholes west of Edmonton? I'm thinking of heading out this weekend, but don't want to go if it is unsafe with the recent warm weather or miserable with snow melt.

Thanks!

Would just like to say that I think it's great to get reports on conditions at a lot of the lakes.
Keep them coming, as conditions are always changing.

Hoping the warm weather at least melts the snow off before it freezes up again, should make for some good ice.
