Lac Ste Anne

[Smoky buck]

OK stuck exploring all new waters since moving so starting from scratch. So basically it’s pick a lake at random. I am a good open water fisherman but kinda meh ice fishermen so targeting lakes through the ice for my first attempt is not my favourite way to go.

Thinking of trying Lac ste Ann but have no clue what species are worth targeting and what is there but poor numbers.

Never targeted whites would not mind trying are there decent numbers in this lake?

Anyone know what the ice is like

Never done the walleye tag thing is there reasonable C class numbers?

Mostly I am interested in what species are worth targeting in this lake so I am at least using the right tactics to stand a chance at success. Not asking for anyone’s spots just general information. It would be nice to know if the lake just sucks too lol

Before anyone says just go figure it out don’t worry in time I will fish every body of water within 2hrs in time

Good population of walleye. That’s all I would really fish for in that lake.

Lac Ste. Anne is a great fishery. Lots of pike, walleye and whitefish, with perch and burbot added in, if you want to specialize your technique. Remarkable comeback, actually. In the 90’s, there were very few walleye and pike. For a lake that close to a big city, it’s quite amazing that it’s so good. But don’t tell anyone...

I do rather well there.... i find it the hardest lake to catch lake whitefish out of any i have fished

There was a guy driving his truck on the ice yesterday.. i was quading out with my gear in a pelican sled and had 8 inches where i was.. and top 3 inches was white ice. Not my fav lake by far.. but close to home
