Is anyone aware if any of these lakes are free of ice yet or at least fishable from shore?

To get to Muir:
Take 16 West. Go north on Campsite Road (between Spruce Grove and Stony Plain). Turn left on 540. A few miles down the road takes a hard right. The entrace to Muir is on your left, just before the curve.
See ya

my bad im a dumb ass , Didnt realise you were talking about Cardiff , I ice fished there this past winter and had luck purely just perch but had luck . I might take a trip out there , I figure If i fish close to home more offen I can make the longer trip less offen and stay longer , but in the mean time ill stick with what im doing .
Is Cardiff thawed I drove past there home the other week from Morinville and there was still ice, As Morinville didnt.

I'm heading out to Muir on Sat.
I do have a spare float tube that someone could use if wanted,but you'd have to buy your own waders because i need mine for the pontoon boat.
Muir Lake isn't really a lake,it's just a big pot hole.If i had to guess i'd be saying maybe 45-65 acre size.Perfect for fly fishing,and using float tube pontoon boats as well 12ft boats.ELECTRIC MOTOR ONLY
If anyone does go you won't miss it because i'm sure it'll be packed with the nice weather.If anyone wants to come shoot me a PM...Thanks

FYI...Lake Eden has been a private lake for a few years now. If you know the right person there are supposed to be some beauty bows in there, but they only allow site owners fishing rights.

Tried out Hasse today. No luck casting from the docks. The seagulls picked up a few dinks though.
I was looking for Spring Lake afterwards but couldn't find any access to the lake, just found the village.

BBJ !, the Hermitage ponds are now both stocked,
Last year only one pond was stocked the one right in front of you when you enter the park.
This year it's a bonus
Cheers

Eden is pretty close to the same size as Star... it's a good size for a float tube.
When you're driving west on the Yellowhead, you will see the sign for Eden Parchute Center (or somethign like that)... that's where you turn North.

Has anyone had much luck at any of these lakes yet this season?
It doesn't seem as if they are near the surface biting yet, so what type of set up and bait would you use for casting? Just trying to learn a few things and maybe improve my odds of catching something!

There's no bait allowed at Muir but if you're spin casting you could try a very small brownish colored rapala to represent a stickleback minnow. I know for a fact the trout eat these as I've found many after using my throat pump on the trout.
Regulations for Muir include:
Open May 01 - Oct 31
No Bait (this restriction of bait includes powerbait, marshmallows, corn and anything with scent) Flies and lures only.
May keep one fish over 50cm (20 inches) per day.
Cheers,
Doc

the only way to the lake is that you have to park at the store se corner of the lake and walk a couple of blocks!!!
