Anybody know what the ice conditions are around Manitoba?

I drove out to Lake Winnipeg today. I was able to walk out about 50 yards, it was like walking on a water bed but the ice (if you can call it that) held. 2 Miles north of where I was, the lake was the same consistency as a slurpee. Lots of frazzle too.

You are a brave man Turbo ! If the cold stays and the winds stay calm it will start to get thicker soon .

I'm going this afternoon, there was 3-4 inches on a parkland lake I checked yesterday, I should have a more detailed report this evening.

Just finished reading a live report from someone fishing near the dock at Patterson on 6" of ice.He also mentioned something about icing his first Troutskie of the season.

master angler whats in parkland lake and where is is

Master Angler · « **Reply #7 on:** Nov 20, 2011, 06:16 PM »

The parkland lake I mentioned and fished this evening is Lake of the Prairies. Average ice is 4-6" although I did find 3" one spot over the river channel, however where I was it was 6". Got my limit of walleye, threw one small one back, lost a few, and got one nice burbot. I left early, could have caught for another half hour till dark but I had my limit and wanted to pack up while there was still some light, and I had a long walk back to the truck. It was awesome to finally get out there, might go again tomorrow or tuesday.

I should mention that was on the north end of the lake, the south end likely doesn't have that much ice yet, but should in another day or two.

Saw that the Red has frozen over, from CIL to the selkirk bridge its smooth, the stretch from cil to doc reeds has frazzled, hope its not too bad. any updates from Lake Winnipeg after this weekends cold stretch?

I hope Lockport has a good freeze this year.Was there two years ago with my daughter and had a blast catching sauger after sauger and the odd green. $:-\$

Shouldn't be long til we're on Lake WPG!!!!

Ice on the lake now, but not safe to walk on yet. This warm weather isn't going to help.

Try some of the smaller ponds and lakes.

Your short changing yourself if you only fish LW and the RR

Has anyone been by lyons lake lately? I fished there two weeks ago and it was still wide open but thats usually the first place i icefish for some trout

Snakehunter · « **Reply #15 on:** Nov 23, 2011, 05:00 PM »

I flew out of Winnipeg heading to Toronto this morning and saw all the little ponds and small lakes frozen over. The Assiniboine River is choked with ice at the bends but wide open everywhere else. Westhawk and Falcon are wide open except for some of the shallower bays but the adjacent shallow little lakes are frozen. Same for Shoal lake and Lake of the Woods. This warm spell is not going to help but at least it looks to be short lived.
Won't be long though

Nice report Snake

IceDreamMan · « **Reply #17 on:** Nov 23, 2011, 08:53 PM »

2x on the report Snake

good way to check out whats happening on the lakes. So i guess Hunt lake should be good to go in some parts. Get some nice brookies!

whitefish · « **Reply #18 on:** Nov 23, 2011, 09:15 PM »

Sorry - I meant Lake Winnipeg when I said "the lake" - whoops.

I'd like to get and try first ice this year. Good thing deer hunting is distracting me

In and around Manitoba's capital region with ice fishers the term "The Lake" usually means LW....and "The River" refers to the RR....
