9 inches of perfect ice up to about 3-400 yards straight out from the provincial park boat launch.
Was out yesterday at Buffalo Ridge from 8-11am. The bite was light at first but picked up considerably as it got lighter out. By 9 o'clock it was game on. Mealworms were the ticket. Ballpark estimate is around 40 perch in 3 hours. Mostly keepers (although I know the black spots found on the meat seem to quell many appetites).
They tasted good indeed!I am fairly new to the area so I will do my best. Buffalo Ridge is pretty much in the middle of the lake. If you are coming from Moose Jaw, you will take HWY 202 where it branches off from the #2 heading north (same as you would heading to the provincial park).You will shortly see Range Road 2262. Head left on 2262 and follow that until you get to the lake. You will drive through an RV park just before getting on the ice. Good luck!
Back at it today at Buffalo Ridge. A good human being plowed a road out to the shacks, but driving options are considerably more limited than a couple of weeks ago. Caught about 15 perch from 8am to 11. Fish around all morning but the bite was light. Managed a couple that touched 11" or better.
I have yet to snag up to any walleye. Haven't heard of anyone catching them either. My efforts have been pretty localized to one spot so perhaps a venture to a different part of the lake is in order..
Anyone know how it is driving around on the lake after the last snow and wind storm?
If you haven't done so, submit the info from the tag. It should be on the tag. If you have great! Helps with research.
