I heard calling lake had 16-18 inches of ice as of New Years Day. There was also little or no snow on the lake, so bring ice cleats.

Thanks for the int burbotman14!

Good fishin'!

Any word on Travers or McGregor ice conditions? Anyone been down there at all?

Tosh · « **Reply #155 on:** Jan 22, 2012, 08:56 PM »

Thanks boss! I haven't been there in a few weeks, I guess we need more cold to get it to be drivable.

About 20" on Whitefish Lake on the 21st. A huge North-South pressure ridge out there almost down the middle of the lake. I just plain stayed away from it. Fishing extremely slow. Managed 1 whitefish for 9 guys on Sat.

Badger Lake at south end... 14". there was a truck driving around some, but all seemed ok.

Ice at pine coulee reservoir was 13-14 inches. Caught 5 walleye and 1 burbot but didn't stick around for the evening bite.

burbotman14 · « **Reply #160 on:** Jan 29, 2012, 12:54 AM »

Ice at gull lake was a good 17-19 inches where I was. Also 1-4 inches of snow across the whole lake so you can drive anywhere.

captainslug · « **Reply #161 on:** Feb 10, 2012, 10:44 AM »

Any current update on how much ice is on Cold Lake? Are vehicles driving on yet? If so from where?

shackless · « **Reply #162 on:** Feb 10, 2012, 08:29 PM »

So if anyone is fishing at Ghost lake these days... what are the thoughts on that pressure ridge/split to the right of the boat launch. Been a couple weeks since I been there but there was some water showing out of it ( even tho the ice was 18" or so ).

still.. what are the experienced folks sayin about it?

Thinking of heading there

Anyone been to chainlakes? would like to know what to expect before heading out there.

i will also be there with my adult children, my sister and my cousin and his 2 children ( 8/10) on sunday. look for the blue clam basecamp. we'll go on at the southern part of the lake going on near hwy 144a.
Ice in that part of the word lately has been about 12". I doubt i will be driving on. many of these people will be experiencing ice fishing for the first time.

I would sure appreciate if anyone who has any more info about the lake conditions to post them.
Thanks all

Plenty of ice everywhere on Minnie Lake. Fishing was bad as we only caught very small perch. Wasnt worth the drive at all

captainslug · « **Reply #166 on:** Feb 22, 2012, 10:49 AM »

Was out to Chain lakes today. 16" to 18" lots of snow on ice and lots of vehicles on the ice including mine and a buddies. caught 14 in total.

Good fishin'!

At gull lake Wilson's beach access and paths were chewed up pretty bad but there was still almost 2 feet of ice to drive on.

Getting close to freezing at night. No ice yet ...

shackless · « **Reply #172 on:** Sep 26, 2012, 05:54 PM »

There is some ice in the freezer, grab a drink and wait for November ;-)

Seen a Canada Goose standing on a pond about 20 feet from shore this morning... Ice is on its way!

Pigeon Lake:
3-4". Watch for the ridges as there is 0-2". I was out with a spud checking everything as I moved. Had the float suit on with spikes around my neck. Tomorrow Im dropping a line

On AO there is someone already fishing the bays like Itaska. It also sounds like it might be completely frozen over.

6" of ice on the south side Buffalo Lake with some slush on top, but there were a few spots that were under 4". There were a few people driving half-ton's on the lake.
