Qu'Apelle Lakes

[Extreme Sask Angling]

been out the last 3 weekends on Echo, and right by the store we are having good luck with the Perch and Walleye. They are hitting the mud bugs with minnow heads and once we switched to eyes the bite was on! That being said bought a new auger the Jiffy 4g 10 inch and she's a real pain in the A** to start in the cold ... any suggestions or information would be appreciated!

Some jiffys you have to hold the throttle all the way down with the choke on to get them started.

is a 4 stoke so no choke

A few years back the 3hp jiffys were coming out of the box with carbs that needed adjusting.  Seeing as this is the new 4 stroke I don't know if you can adjust the carb the same way.  There are jiffy videos on youtube however that may solve your problem.

Thanks for the input fella's... The 4g has a choke on it, they say prime until there are no bubbles in the fuel line, throttle full open pull once and then choke to half and 4-5 pulls and it should start. I found on new years eve when we were out that if you prime it as recommended and full choke full throttle it started in 4 pulls... It reminds me of my old 97 Polaris XLT lol.... Once we got it running there was never an issue with re starting it, so I wonder if maybe it was just because it was brand new???

Jiffy's are hard to start in the cold, they all are and always will be. I still own a jiffy though, couldn't get over the price.

[hunt2001]

Ok I didn't think they had a choke but I guess I was wrong

My pro 4 starts first or second pull all the time even at minus 28

I was on Crooked on Sat. Bite was good all day, half dozen perch, biggest was 12", 2 nice Wally's 18 and 24", and lost count of the 2 to 3 lb pike, and one ugly dog that snapped my line and took a buckshot with him.  Flasher was showing fish at 2 to 4 ft off of bottom all day and except for the big walleye and the dog that's where I was catching them.

[MJP1980]

went out today and no issues with the new auger what so ever... only needed to drill 2 holes as the fishing started slow but picked up after a few lure changes!

If you do, be careful past two seasons in the van we got stuck on the ice and that is NOT fun. Or would get on the ice, then not be able to get off it. So got a truck now and it's all good!

Was out on mission on Saturday caught about 20-25 fish in about three hours between two of us.  Mostly tiny eyes any ideas where the bigger eyes are?

[Gmoney21]

Was out on echo yesterday and same thing. Lots of small eyes in about 30 ft and a few perch but no eaters. Tried in shallow and nothing there either. Still a beautiful day on the ice and got to play around with the new lx7.

[killemfish]

Ended up fishing Echo today, instead of Pasqua. Very slow! Fished 10-1:30, only 2 perch and a tiny eye! Maybe I should have tryed Pasqua!LOL

sounds like all the chain lakes are slow the last week

[MJP1980]

We normally go to Echo or Pasqua, but I thought I would try out the hype at Collingwood and man that hype is for real. Started off slow but after a few lure changes and some patience I started nailing the perch, and by perch I mean Jumbo's, 12-14 inchers one after the other, never caught perch that big before so consistently, a couple decent Wally's but threw them back to get bigger... That was saturday, Sunday we were told that Little arm by Regina beach was good for walleye, sat there all morning caught on decent pike and a tulliby.... Back to to echo and Pasqua next weekend.... maybe a week day trip to Collingwood during the week! I am curious to see what it's like there when there are less fishermen out there... If anyone cares, I am having fantastic luck with the PK flutterbaits a quality lure that works very well!
