Heard whitefish belly fins are good bait!

I have been told to jig the narrows but have never ice fished there. I have only been there once in the boat and we ended up fishing for only a couple hours with not a single bite. We marked fish in a few spots but nothing would eat. It could have been the time of day but who knows. My buddy was out there a couple weekends ago and didn't get anything either.

Good luck if you head out there and post some pics if you do get into some fish.

Its not that the locals, are tight lipped.It is a very hard lake to fish, until ice
is off.Very few people have luck through the ice on this lake, and now it is very dangerous, lots of open water in unusual places.If you go on, be extremely careful.

iv only caught 1 laker out of there at it was awhile ago.
i was using a whitetube about 3 inches long.
i wasnt in to deep of water i think 75feetdeeep
just keeping it still was the key lol i set my rod down and when i came back it bending over i pulled it up. it was a 7lb laker.
im pretter sure i fished it 2 times though.

if you go in fall the brookies are on the shore so using woolybugger you can catch em no promblem. the lakers are a mystery though

has anyone been on the lake lately just wondering ice condition there?

TROLLER · #12 01-13-2012, 03:39 PM

Spent waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much time on the boat to even think about going out on the ice.

Supposed to be some nice lakers in their but I haven't seen one or seen one caught in I don't know how many times out.

Too many good lakes around to waste time at Crowsnest.

wheels113 · #13 01-13-2012, 04:54 PM

i caught a few there from shore this past summer. but i would sure like to get out there on the ice
