I'm going to try Pasqua or Echo by the boat landings on Saturday.  Sunday looks like it will be too cold. I haven't been to these lakes yet this year.

Fished Katepwa today. A few perch but nothing more. One shack sitting at Taylor Beach. Ice is a good 4" - 8" thick. Was a good 200 yds out just east of the main beach and 100 yds out at Taylor. Even drove my quad on the ice near the shore and cleared the snow for a skating rink. Happy fishing!

[Big Burk]

made it out today and limited out on perch and managed to catch 4 decent walleyes, perch were all on the smallish side, lots of tullibee caught and one small pike. good start to the new ice season ice was 8 inches everywhere we went. fished the east end of the lake and there were a few shacks spread out all over the lake and seen one truck on the west end but wouldnt recommend it yet.

Hey everyone,

Does anyone know a thickness at Sandy Beach on Katepwa?  Thinking about going out this weekend.

[MikeMiller]

it was 10 inches last weekend on mission ill be driving on it with caution sat

[eyecatcher00]

Are people driving on the Quappelle lakes yet? 

we've drove on since saturday on mission, havent ventured around though that was just to the shack and back.  found some spots today that were 16 inches but also some that were 6 so id watch if your driving around everywhere.

[MikeMiller]

was on mission today about 12-14 inches thick i was in the middle of the lake 50 feet of water got 40 perch 4 walleye biggest was 3 pounds not bad day of fishing

[spoxick]

was out on basyta the hatchery seen a few walleye on the cam a few pike and some small perch caught one pike about 4 - 5 lbs .....

jw mike do you always fish that deep i never fish anything more then like 25 feet i never thought anything would be that deep

Spent about four hours on Mission today in front of Mission Ridge ski hill.  It was very slow - a few Perch and a few Tulies.  Anyone else have better success on the chains this weekend? 

I must say - it was nice to get out again despite the weak fishing. 

[MikeMiller]

ya i fish 40 feet on mission every time i go there i usually catch around the 40 mark on perch a day me and my cuz and usually 6-10 walleye any were from a pound to 3 pounds it was slow on walleye i was fishing in front of camp knoles there putting shack there next weekend seems like im the only person who fishes there in the winter only my tire tracks and holes hmmm

[Layne]

Good day on mission today, eyecatcher and I managed to get 9 walleye, 2 pike and well over 50 dink perch.

[Leroy]

I forgot to mention that the ice was 14".  We walked on, but there were several trucks on the ice.  Drove past Echo too.  Lots of shacks and trucks.  I would imagine that we were fishing Mission too shallow because we were only in 15 feet.  Will likely try Echo next time and report back. 

[Big Burk]

echo is hot right now lost count of perch, caught 4 walleyes biggest 4lbs and a 3lb pike

[MikeMiller]

im going out next weekend spoxick if you wanna come try deep water give me a call or text 535-6453

I fished Pasqua Lake on the weekend and caught nothing but Tulibees.  Lots of them but nothing else.  I didn't drive on the ice so I was confined to only a few walkable places but nonetheless still slow.  Ice was 13" almost everywhere I drilled tho so this coming weekend the truck will be hitting the ice and I will report back.
