Wouldn't try touchwood. Ice is always sketchy there.

Guy went through pinehurst last week I heard.


Don't know anythin about seibert, but theres a spring on the left of the boat ramp so I would stay away from that part lol.


I really don't think people understand how mild it has been this year. Its like they think becuase its mid Dec the ice is good everywhere.

I know what you are saying, last year this time we had about twice the ice. hopefully it hangs around for a couple weeks so I dont have to trade the auger for the pontoon. it has been cold enough here to keep the ice and add a bit overnight, but the daytime temps and wind really arent helping!

Cross Lake Dec 17 10 to 12 inches. People driving on it but we walked.
I understand through the grapevine that Cold Lake is not yet frozen in the center of the lake so if true or not be careful.
Somewhere around Regina, SK a truck went through the ice in the last couple of days. A 51 year old man drowned but his son got out alive. A very, very sad story.

Seen some guys driving very fast on the ice. The game warden checked us and said they are really pushing it due to the wave that it creates in front of them. I understand why people want to fish but at least drive slow.

Was out at RR23 on Sylvan Lake. Caught my limit of whites in 3 hours. Ice was almost 12" over 8 FOW. There were three vehicles on the ice (already!) and saw 2 shacks built just before I left.

Do not go on touchwood. Looked good by the campsite 12" took quads along the north shore to go fishing. Crossed one heave by the north river which wast a big deal. On the way home in the dark the wind had picked up considerably and our tracks on the heave looked much steeper than earlier in the day. Got off the quads to find out the other side of the heave was now wide open water about three feet deep and the heave went right into the swamp. And only about 6" of ice by shore coming out of the heave. Had to make A makeshift trail over the swamp getting hung up on every beaver stump.

Give it AT LEAST a week. I'd give it two.

Carson had about 14-16 inches on it yesterday, probably about 20 trucks driving on it. Everytime a truck moved you could here the booms coming from the ice. Once had a crack go right between my legs. A few of them were doing at least 30-40km/h leaving the ice

I think the ice maybe not that good yet. I also heard there are moving shacks out to Pipes Point.

Pretty good ice at Carson was out yesterday easily 12- 14" However some ******* was driving 50. I stuck out my hand to slow him down and he stopped asked what the problem was and I explained the wave created by a moving vehicle and the dangers associated with said wave. He rudely told me it was a police vehicle and sped off. Anyone aware of Grey Ford F-150 police vehicles driving 50 km/hr on the ice.

Crawling Valley SHOULD be very similar to Newell, but yes, I'd like to hear an ice report from there as well just to be sure..

Clear Lake east of Stavely? Similar to PCR I would imagine?

Last I heard was that sherburn had about 6" of solid ice earlier this week. That is about the same as it was a few weeks ago when I was there on the west end. I am not to sure how the east end by the boat launch is.

At McGregor today,,, ice a good 8-12 inches, but definitely not driveable,, it was heaving something fierce today, zero wind, really good clarity by the boat launch but a tad murkier by the wall but sighted alright without a tent to about 6 fow.,, lost two and Pa caught a long skinny pike that went back. no flood water though it looked like it had suffered some recently. The canal is iffy and I'd gvive it till January to be super safe.

Chestermere Lake Dec 26. Measured 12 inches of ice, but watched a quad break through under the bridge. Be careful out there folks.
