There are some big heaves out on the main lake. Access is good at both Tufts and the Harbour. People have been fishing at the old railbed. Bite hasn't been great for me. Seeing loads of whitefish in 35 ' and I have caught a few burbs. You shouldn't have any problems. Good luck.
How about that brown on 39 hrs though.......
Is the ice thick enough to drive on at Elbow Harbour? I'm collecting water samples there next week, aiming for a spot about 500m south of the mouth to the harbour (see attached picture.) Last February the ice was 23 inches thick there so we had no problem driving on. Hasn't been as cold this year though. Thanks!
How’s this for honesty. I am going to riverhurst ferry area for the first time ice fishing on the lake. So instead of just asking for ice conditions in the dead of winter in hopes of someone slipping up and giving up some key info, I am just gonna be blunt. Does anyone want to share any tips or secrets for that area? You can feel free to pm me or just say the secrets out loud in the forum. 👍😁Thanks in advance!
Id give you the secrets if i had them. Tbh i think most people are actually interested in ice conditions despite it being feb. Havent you seen how many people go through at dief and LML?
Anyone been out much the last couple days? Hows the ice holding up? Still good to drive on? Havent been out in a long while and wondering what this warm weather has done
Spent 7 hrs with Shawno at Douglas today. Not sure what was with the depths but we worked our way out to 15 ft infront on the park, and then it came back up to 2-3' deep for atleast 100 yards. Navionics said we should have been in atleast 50. Some weird ice collapse/ double layer thing? Ice looked good and dark. Nonetheless, got it handed to us, without even a sniff.
