Anybody know if there driving trucks on yet??

saskguy · « **Reply #6 on:** Dec 30, 2015, 07:55 PM »

Since I often used to lurk here I thought it was about time to contribute. I was at bittern yesterday, driving on was no problem with ice around 18" in my area however fishing was poor. Had some small pike action(seem to get smaller every year) but saw no walleye. Nothing really keepable.

Heard from another site it was netted hard this summer, but I've also heard people were still catching some eyes.

canada · « **Reply #8 on:** Jan 02, 2016, 06:39 PM »

its slow unless right on them and they want it tougher fishing up there this year i find

Hit up bittern today for first time this year. Lots of bodies out today. The eye's were hungry where we were. There was 5 of us out and had limit within 2 hours. Headed over to Montreal lake and caught 1 decent pike there. It's definitely slow at Montreal lake.

Crazy busy on Bittern today, so many close to shore...I like being out a little and we did well today, tons of small jacks, I don't keepem until they are a decent size so we didn't keep any....it was easy to catch our limit on Walleyes, decent size...good day...going further north next time...

How much snow is on the lake?

ndurocher · « **Reply #12 on:** Jan 03, 2016, 11:53 AM »

I would say about 4 inches of snow, it was fairly easy to get anywhere we wanted to go...we were out in about 10 feet of water and about 18 inches of ice....

ndurocher · « **Reply #13 on:** Jan 03, 2016, 12:20 PM »

I tried to post a picture of snow conditions but unable to figure out how to do it...I tried to copy and paste but not working...

Hey guys. New to this forum. And new to the bittern lake fishing. Planning on heading out maybe Sunday or Monday. Good to be on with trucks? Where is the best place to access the lake from and anyone able to point me in the direction of a fishing spot? Not looking for anyone's secret spot. Haha

canada · « **Reply #16 on:** Jan 05, 2016, 07:14 PM »

drive on the n end, you are good to go with trucks.

fish along the e side, if the fish are biting you'll catch

Namaycusher · « **Reply #17 on:** Jan 05, 2016, 10:08 PM »

Thanks Canada!

timbertomjr · « **Reply #18 on:** Jan 25, 2016, 01:42 PM »

Anyone know if you can still drive on the lake.

King Ice · « **Reply #19 on:** Jan 25, 2016, 01:56 PM »

Yes you can we were out yesterday

timbertomjr · « **Reply #20 on:** Jan 25, 2016, 02:35 PM »

Thanks ice king

dsab · « **Reply #21 on:** Jan 27, 2016, 12:30 PM »

Good to know you can still drive on. How has the bite been? Just first and last light? or has it been decent? Thinking about heading there Saturday or Sunday.

King Ice · « **Reply #22 on:** Jan 27, 2016, 08:05 PM »

Was there again today and fished from 12 - 4 and brought home 5 between the two of us . Lost lots tho.😠

wally wacker · « **Reply #23 on:** Feb 17, 2016, 06:00 PM »

was up on bittern on Saturday, no problem getting around with four wheel drive fishing was slow but steady we shack fished and waited for the walleye to come to us. Interesting though that with all my fancy hooks from northlands to pimples and flashbaits the best producer bar none was the number 8 yellow and red five of diamonds

shootsmcgee · « **Reply #24 on:** Mar 06, 2016, 06:43 PM »

hit the lake on saturday, threw everything at them and zero wally's. Caught a few small pike and thats it. Lots of people out there though and when the co's stopped by they said they haven't seen much for walleye on the ice recently.

LOTALOTA · « **Reply #25 on:** Mar 07, 2016, 12:19 PM »

I was out Saturday only caught one walleye and two little snot rockets. Co's checked 60 vehicles by 3:30 and had several more to go

ran7ger · « **Reply #26 on:** Mar 07, 2016, 12:49 PM »

i saw them around 5:30, didn't sound like anyone was catching. couple inches of snow today but we need a couple feet before that poor lake is wiped out.

Kinda fluked out .... Drilled a line of holes in an area I had not fished before, found a break line with 3 foot depth change over 10 ft span that had rock. Inhabitants were hungry and of nice size, all between 2 and 4 Lbs
