What's happening this winter, any action or problems accessing the lake?

no issues getting onto the lake - have not been up since we got fresh snow the other day though.

Yes definitely a hit and miss lake and not going to catch to many monsters in there but certainly can be a fun catch and release lake!!

what would calling the local serm office do...its perfectly legal for first nations to net

canada · « **Reply #13 on:** Jan 25, 2018, 08:31 PM »

canada · « **Reply #15 on:** Jan 26, 2018, 03:54 PM »

A cons officer told me that have to be checked every 48hrs

ran7ger · « **Reply #16 on:** Jan 27, 2018, 09:41 AM »

That is correct. 48 hrs and they need to be marked with persons info.

oleike · « **Reply #17 on:** Jan 27, 2018, 10:55 AM »

mmm....interesting to say the least

modano9 · « **Reply #18 on:** Jan 27, 2018, 06:32 PM »

Was out today and once again not really disappointed between 2 of us 7 walleye 18pike largest being 32”with 3 or 4 being in that range( largest I’ve seen for a few years) walleye only 3 eaters let all fish go to swim another day!! Road out was ok as long as you had 4x4

canada · « **Reply #19 on:** Jan 28, 2018, 12:53 PM »

bittern has really gone downhill Imo

modano9 · « **Reply #20 on:** Feb 07, 2018, 09:10 AM »

Everyone wants to tell their buddies they caught limits is why the fishing is bad and it’s getting worse. Last year on some weekends we were up there I’ll bet there was 200 ppl fishing. There’s 400-600 fish gone and that’s within everyone’s limits. Some keep more and some keep less. Personally I don’t see the point of keeping everything that comes up onto the ice. Keep some nice eaters and send the rest back to replenish the population and grow bigger.

ran7ger · « **Reply #22 on:** Feb 07, 2018, 05:34 PM »

yep thank goodness for this snow and wind. been way too easy the last few years.

Exactly. Not hard for word to get out on the internet that a lake is hot, then it’s flooded with anglers. Especially in the winter.

The Information Age requires new rules. Keep your personal life private is one of them.

The old W.W.2 saying still applies even more now days.( Loose lips sinks ships) due social media . Fish hard, stay safe.

Mangoxan · « **Reply #26 on:** Feb 25, 2018, 04:08 PM »

Out today, poor roads 4x4 required, caught lots of small pike and 1 walleye. Approx -10-12 trucks

King Ice · « **Reply #27 on:** Nov 22, 2018, 09:39 PM »

Anyone been out yet or know how thick the ice yet here ?

canada · « **Reply #28 on:** Nov 23, 2018, 07:48 AM »

i bet you could walk out easy enough or drive around to 3rd bay and hike on there I've drive out lots in early dec but this might be a bit early the fishing hasn't been as good in last few years so hoping it improves this year

Can you access the back road again? Last year when I tried it was covered with trees and I mean more than a day and a chainsaw.
