« on: Mar 22, 2016, 06:54 AM »
Does anyone know if there are any fly-in ice fishing camps or resorts in Alberta?

        Andrew Lake lodge advertises a fly in ice fishing trip on their website.  Looks like they host icefishermen until the end of April.

          Cool if you make it out please post a report.  Years ago there was an article in the Alberta Outdoorsmen on an ice fishing trip to Andrew and I've wanted to do it ever since but just haven't been able to pull the trigger.  I believe Fred Noddin wrote it but might have been Brad Fenson I'm not sure.  I have no idea how to open a line of communication with those guys but might be worth investigating to see what a guy might expect from the trip.

I did a trip up there a few years ago. We went in on snowmobiles, to leeland lake ( one of Andrews other camps ). Fishing was great ! Only advice I can give is To find out if they have snow machines in there, otherwise you will be very limited.

Both are drive in lakes, winter or summer.  Sure has kicked the crap out the walleye population in Winefred, as our "subsistence" fishermen with their square hooks can fish it to their heart's content, while the rest of us now have a zero limit.
