So your saying, a little west of Edmonton. Thanks.
Looks like we should be able to walk on a lot of smaller lakes and ponds by weekend. Im headind out in a week or two for some trout, then it will be perch time.

Remember... as I relearned today... ice thickness depends not only on temp... what I stepped through today was thin because of snow cover.

Some crazy fellow was fishing the bay in front of launch at chickakoo at some point today. Ice was ~2.5 inches close to shore, I wasn't crazy enough to venture out to see thickness further out.
Be careful guys, no point becoming a statistic. Ice might be good this weekend but next is a much safer bet.

We'll found some ice didn't find the feesh. Went to two stocked lakes bigger one had 2 1/2" of clear ice and the smaller one had 4" both taken in about 4' to 5' of water.
That being said stay safe guys and gals carry a stick and ice picks and avoid fishing water past chest height until ice is safer.
Set up jawjackers but no luck

Lake Sundance in Calgary just froze over 1/3 yesterday. Likely will be fully frozen over today or tomorrow.

Remember to fish with a friend and each carry a throw rope. Ice can vary up to 80% in isolated pockets.
Be safe.
