I will be heading out on Sunday. I already landed my first hard water fish two weekends ago so it has been a good year already. I hope to do well on Sunday and every weekend thereafter.

I'm still undecided on where would be the best choice including being the thickest ice and best chance of catching fish of any species. I'm willing to drive 2 hours max from Edmonton. I'm frantically searching for my place of choice still. I want to leave by 6:00am ???

Would the man made lakes in Edmonton be froze over enough to ice fish? Such as hermitage park stocked ponds ?

Yes they are.. I fish lake x near Edmonton it had terrible Ice. Don't go on where there is reeds and vegitation. Find a bare spot. Where I was had two inches of crappy frozen top water a space then 2 inches black ice. This spot isn't even a km total. Tiny
