Coal was at 7 inches Wednesday morning. Seems everywhere in central Alberta is around that.

8-10" on eagle by strathmore. No snow, about a 1/2" of water on top. Being your skates! Lots or water coming onto the ice by the nursery from the little spillway resulting in about 4" of pooled water right there. There was a van parked on the ice by the boat launch, just to the south of the cabin.

Hopefully Gull is good, because I just found out I can fish on Saturday. So I'm going, good or not! I've fished on 3 inches before, so 9 or 12 is a dream! If there's bad reports today I'll just bring a lifejacket :-) Gotta learn to catch a fricken whitey!

I'm planning on heading to either Lessard or Lac La Nonne tomorrow. Last reports I heard were 7" of good clear ice. I would never think of driving on at that thickness but would it be safe to take the side by side on or would that be pushing it?

Went out to Bruce lake today, deep blue soft spots everywhere. Definitely not ready down here. Cold weather is welcome back anytime now.

For now I'd avoid southern/eastern ab lakes and stick to the north and central lakes to the foothills and mountains for couple more weeks, thisyear has been pretty mild

Best advice in the thread.
That said, the slush and snow should be pretty much done around edmonton lakes? I know there's plenty of ice. Thinking about hitting up devil's for a few hours on the weekend.

The ice out at the North part of Lac st. Anne is around 8 to 10 inches depending how far from shore you go.

13" on gull as well as a couple idiots who had no respect what so ever for fishermen and decided to rip by my tent in there "fancy machines".
You'd think putting your truck through would have been a lesson but you had to roll your shack as well....
Karma I suppose, not sure if you noticed my shack was 10ft away from your SXS as you started to rip.
Careful out there boys, maybe the slow the bite is getting to me.
