Stopped by Lee Lake (Crowsnest Pass) and there was around 5" - 6" of good ice. Didn't have time to do any fishing, just a quick stop to check the ice thickness.

yes keho does have beautiful clear 6-8" ice at the inlet. however, if you drew a line from the west inlet straight east to the first bay south of the outlet, everything south is super bubbly white ice. if you stepped on ice at the boat launch you will likely go thru, best to start your entry a bit back and test drill onto where you want to fish. the outlet was easily punctured at shore with the usual stretches of open water (not enough or close enough to jig thru. other than that, the ice at the outlet (pray for no snow) is really beaut ice in colour, just needs a few days of ultra cold to get over to the thicker bits.

Does anyone know how the ice is around Grande Prairie? More specifically Sturgeon and Snipe?

Badger 7"

Travers 5.5" - There is a heave with open water that extends from the north wing dam at the spillway, west to the other side of the lake. Ice is not safe around this heave.

Snipe was froze over on November 13.

Someone posted on IFish that there was 6 inches of Ice on Sturgeon. One person posted Nov. 18 and another on Nov. 30. A fair bit of snow on top as well. I haven't been out yet, but should be good to go!

On Sturgeon you can see dark patchs where the flood water has been rising, but with this -30ish weather and winds, you would think the ice has got to be getting good. Haven't seen anyone on the lake yet though. Snipe in my experience is warmer for some reason and if Sturgeon has 6inchs, Snipe will only have 4.

x2 snipe is notorious for eating vehicles...careful on that one.

8" of good ice at Wab town. The flooding has begun as well. It's not really bad yet, but I'm not optimistic.

I was 50-60 yards past the end of the dock in about 8 feet of water. Saw millions of <4" perch, caught the only 2 pike I saw( both between 5 & 10 lbs), and lost a 3rd on the tip-up. Fished about 4 hours.

Just got back from wabamun. Now I remember why I wait till you can drive on. Quite the workout with all the gear. Ice was 8". Fishing was pretty good. I got three, biggest being 8lbs and missed two on the jaw jacker. All my fish were caught with a jigging rap. I was only fishing for three hours.

Default Mcgregor Lake

7" of clear ice by the rockwall on the north side.
There's an ice heave with open water underneath right along the rockwall, so I'd suggest walking from the campground instead of down the wall into the ice.

Thought it was 9"

I didn't measure it when we were out there though...Just a guess
