Are you talking about the middle lake right above Magee lake , for some reason I have heard lots of people call Magee lake lower chain and its not .. I am going out to the north chain lakes (smaller one) this weekend i always seem to have good luck there.. road access do suck to these lakes though

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.

I am actually referring to Magee Lake. It's funny to hear you call it that as I know that is what it is called, yet every time I refer to it as such people look at me like I'm insane.

Do you guys ever have much luck at 1st chain, middle, or Magee? I've fished all three in summer and winter and have found nothing but hammer handles to 24"ers.

Was out yesterday and checked on chain (south) and pcr. Chain had 4-5 inches right out to the middle. Pcr was open water south of the bridge (boat launch is ice free) but frozen north. Walked out in the bay NE of the bridge, 4 inches near shore, 2 inches 40-50 feet out

Canmore area not looking so good for ice fishing atm.

Gap lake is not safe yet, still has holes and evidence of melt.

Goat pond is frozen on one half, casting still possible but futile. Saw some people ice skating on it, wouldn't recommend that myself.

Spray is kind of a mess, the ice near the dam is fishable, probably around 5 inches. Not worth a trip if you are from Calgary.

I was out by Whitecourt this morning, small trout pond. Upon arrival there was a 1 inch layer of cloudy crappy ice - obviously from the recent melt and refreeze. But under that was about 5-6 inches of solid black ice.

FISH ON!!!
