Chestermere lake

[4D7]

I walked out to the edge and a piece of the edge broke off it was about 2-4 inches. Could be ready by this weekend but for sure next week. Didn't see any open water.

Hi 4D7,

How has the fishing been at chestermere? I wanted to go out there last winter and drill some holes but friends told me there wasn't much to go after in that lake.

Ice-Raft.

People are fishing it already by the bridge and south to the center of the lake this was 3 days ago and i asked him how thick the ice was and he said 6 inches. Good luck!!

What is a good size pike from here? I have only ever caught 1-2lb hammer handles

ooooo i might got this sunday or something. Anyway ice-raft there are just pike and the odd odd perch,bows burbots and white fish in there. Last season we a blast we caught on the good days 15+ a person easy. I like fishing here because its super close to town and it has some wicked action. PM me if you want spot locations and tips on what to use. My girlfriend did manage a nice 73cm pike outta there biggest one i've seen come out.

Bow and burbs?! I know it used to have perch but any that are left must be few are far between as there are thousands of pike in there. Last year I probably averaged 50cm ones but I've seen a few +63cm pulled out before. I assumed there would be the odd bow and burb since it's attached to the bow but I've never really tried for them.

Yeah saw some dude pull out a rainbow during summer. A few guys have caught burbs but they said its rare. I had a nice size perch on my line last year but my second rod almost fell in the water so I ended up catching a fat pike. But I saw the perch come up close to the hole
