I can attest to that
Terrible day..! Used a double insulated pop up,
Im assuming the bp and just ugly weather and wind played a roll in a terrible fishing day, not to mention a strugle with equipment..!

Went on at sarnia and went south,
I didnt notice when we went on, maybe it showed up today maybe before but there is a large preasure ridge in front of sarnia maybe 300 yards, it appears to start in the center of the lake and run north north west, pretty large anyway

Fished just south of Swanson’s point yesterday amongst some permanent shacks. It was blowing hard all day only managed to catch one 2lb Walleye

photos are from the beach area at sarnia.. they aren't very good. Has anyone been out in that area recently, im just curious if the temp change and heavy winds did or even can play a role in a pressure ridge forming?

I assume this weather and wind could help produce some preassure ridges to form?

Been out hunting pike at the north end, but wondering about depths people are fishing for winter walleyes? Any info would be appreciated!

bisonfisher · « **Reply #127 on:** Jan 28, 2019, 04:55 PM »

Best luck so far this season at both Sarnia and Collingwood has been between 30 and 35 feet.

Hi! Has anyone tried driving on the ice recently at Rowan's Ravine? I work in a lab at the U of R and we are planning to collect water samples there within the next couple of weeks. We haven't sampled in the winter before but our summer sampling point is circled in this picture (coordinates are 50.98886, -105.18483). The water depth at this point is about 18.5 m.

If it's safe we'd ideally like to drive out to this point from the provincial park boat launch with our truck but I wanted to see if anyone on here has done that. I saw some articles from previous years about trucks going through the ice near Rowan's so we want to be cautious... it seems like it happened during the 2015/16 winter though which was more mild.

Thanks!

Anyone else seeing lots of fish but having trouble getting them to commit? Seeing lots of perch on the cam but can't convince them to bite.

ToonFisher · « **Reply #130 on:** Feb 05, 2019, 12:33 AM »

Its normal this time for perch. It's also time when a camera wins over a sonar. I like to remove the hook of a flashy spoon, replace it with a few inch of low-visibility line and a small J hook, just big enough to match a minnow head, perch eye or likesized minnow piece. Perch will be called in by the spoon. They will look at the offer. If you hide the hook, they will take the offer ever so gently. Hiding the hook inside the bait seems unusual, but that increase bite rate many fold. Just set hook a little harder.

Looking to fish the StoneBarn in a week and was wondering the best way to access it? Does a guy go on at Grandview and head north? Or Glen Harbour and head across? Or is there a goat path somewhere closer?

sitdaddy · « **Reply #132 on:** Feb 15, 2019, 11:51 AM »

Saw a guy pull a shack across lake from Grandview to Glen Harbour with a half ton on Wednesday. Access at Glen Harbour and Mohr's is good. Can't speak for Grandview access. Hope that helps.

how is it traveling around sarnia? any one been out- time for a sled or atv?

Dooman · « **Reply #135 on:** Feb 20, 2019, 11:10 AM »

going on at sarnia is easy, getting off is a little tricky, saw a few people get stuck or hit heads on their roofs

EVAN NIM · « **Reply #136 on:** Feb 20, 2019, 11:16 AM »

thanks- any pressure ridges to be weary of that you can advise on.. likely planning to head south towards the island,

Mike. · « **Reply #137 on:** Feb 20, 2019, 05:30 PM »

There’s a heave in the middle of the lake that runs north south, won’t effect you at all.

EVAN NIM · « **Reply #138 on:** Feb 20, 2019, 05:39 PM »

Thank you- i was thinking of crossing to rowans but that doesnt sound possible now

EVAN NIM · « **Reply #139 on:** Feb 21, 2019, 05:02 PM »

has anyone been between triple T and etters on the west side? ANy pressure ridges in that area to know of??

Water Wolf · « **Reply #140 on:** Feb 21, 2019, 05:38 PM »

What's the snow levels like on LML?
Are the access spots easy to get on or is it a bit tricky now after that big snow storm? $:-\$

speckspotter · « **Reply #141 on:** Feb 21, 2019, 07:05 PM »

Evan,

I have been told that there are two pressure ridges that are making it hard to get across the lake from Etter's.

Seige · « **Reply #142 on:** Feb 22, 2019, 07:09 AM »

Wondering how the ridges are at Collingwood? Heading out tomorrow.

familyfisher · « **Reply #143 on:** Feb 22, 2019, 07:10 PM »

I haven’t been out since the last snowfall but between triple t and etters there is a very large heave running mostly east/west almost across the whole lake. If you stay close to shore on the west side you can sneak by it. It was drifted up pretty good in spots and that was before the last snowfall so I would imagine now it might be touch and go to drive all over?

EVAN NIM · « **Reply #144 on:** Feb 22, 2019, 11:44 PM »

It sounds like there are more preassure ridges then last year out there

Dale Chutskoff · « **Reply #145 on:** Feb 23, 2019, 03:40 PM »

North end access is blown in fairly good had to take a good run at it to get off this afternoon hope someone can plow out a road

Seige · « **Reply #146 on:** Feb 24, 2019, 04:08 PM »

Went on at the Collingwood sub division boat launch it was as pretty good. Put a couple walleye and perch on the ice.

Foozie · « **Reply #147 on:** Feb 28, 2019, 04:12 PM »

Hi hardwater friends, was just wondering if anyone has been fishing Triple T up towards Etters lately. any luck up that way or has it been slow like everywhere else.
Any info would be appreciated, ice/snow conditions as I haven't been that far North this year yet. hoping to get out this weekend but its gonna be a cold one again.

speckspotter · « **Reply #148 on:** Feb 28, 2019, 04:53 PM »

A school group was set up for pike in the bay at TTT today. There would have been at least 30 lines down. A mid afternoon report had only one pike caught for the group. They have gone for a number of years in a row at this time, and this was the slowest bite experienced so far.

Foozie · « **Reply #149 on:** Mar 01, 2019, 07:42 AM »

Wow ya that is slow for sure, you'd think with that many lines in the water a few would have been caught. Hopefully they turn on in March when the weather warms up.
