Spray Lakes - 14 inches of ice with very little snow acumulation. Good day fishing. Between the both of us fishing, we caught 2 nice size lakers, 12.5 to 14 inches. and lost 3 bigger ones at the hole. Will post pics tomorrow.

Hey gooner. We're was you fishing?

You think by the 27th we will have enough to drive on?

I know ima newbe, I hope to gain knowledge of this great sport through learning by doing. I am researching, equipment using internet product reviews and other ice freaks personal recommendations.
Ice shanty brings both to newbs and pros alike.

It is difficult to separate the unethical from the ethical when posting online but I don't think that making general comments ie badger lake is a good pike lake wood b to harmful or don't but a brand name use suit when u can use
Army surplus. Ya can c kinda what I mean.

I am hook line and sinker into becoming a hard water (what's. The right name ) fisherman. I truly look forward to meeting with others of a like mind.

I have been you tubing alberta ice fishing I know this is right for me

. First of all welcome flytyer nymph. There is a bunch of us going to gull on the 28th of Dec, check out Alberta iceshanty get together date set. Harrydude if we get some colder weather it should be good to drive on we were by aspen beach, and there was an open hole about three foot squared with about 12-14" of water in it, then ice underneath. When we were walking there was quite sniff of water under the snow. Which made it very slushie, the ice was 12" + but sketchy, looking. I sure hope we can drive on for the shanty get together on the 28 th. $:-\$

Any updates on Pigeon Lake?

CMMahy · « **Reply #251 on:** Dec 20, 2013, 04:30 PM »

North end of Gull has about 14" of good looking ice where I drilled. There's quite a bit of really crusted snow near shore, but by the time you get 75 yards out from the launch, there's only 2" with some small drifts. Any slush that was in the area has since frozen solid.

There was no path for vehicles packed down on the launch yet, and I doubt it'll happen anytime soon with all the banks and drifts right near shore.

Thanks CM. Time to slay soon.

CMMahy · « **Reply #253 on:** Dec 22, 2013, 09:07 PM »

South Buck Lake......Don't do it.

ryanlookingforperch · « **Reply #254 on:** Dec 22, 2013, 10:31 PM »

Did you get any fishing in?

The picture looks like work, hope everything survived and nothing slowed you down to much.

Good fishin!

CMMahy · « **Reply #255 on:** Dec 22, 2013, 10:45 PM »

No fishing out there. It took us over an hour just to get the sled un-stuck and gear back to shore.

ryanlookingforperch · « **Reply #256 on:** Dec 22, 2013, 11:06 PM »

Sorry to hear.

SnowSpyder · « **Reply #257 on:** Dec 25, 2013, 03:56 PM »

Hi gents, anyone know ice thickness at Upper and Lower Kananaskis Lakes ?

swampy45 · « **Reply #259 on:** Dec 27, 2013, 09:08 AM »

I was out at Wabamun yesterday, and although not fishing I did check out the ice again... One of my buddy's was on the lake fishing where there was a ton of floodwater (8"+), and we found several holes in the ice big enough to fit our fist through, and the ice was less than 6" thick almost everywhere we found these holes. There is up to 12" of ice in some spots, but most if it is just frozen slush.

Anyone know if you can drive on gull lake yet?

vessey · « **Reply #261 on:** Dec 27, 2013, 04:57 PM »

I was just at Wilsons Beach and there was 12"-15" of ice. The drifts are bad at the access but it was fine away from shore.

SnowSpyder · « **Reply #262 on:** Dec 28, 2013, 07:24 PM »

Gull is good too go.. tons of perms on including camper trailers got on with a 2 wheel drive and crappy tires over 12 inches of ice ..rough getting on the lake but very little snow..

captainslug · « **Reply #263 on:** Dec 30, 2013, 07:13 PM »

Good Morning,
Was at Spray and Ghost yesterday.Ice at both very good. 14" +. Interesting combination chinook winds and a Clam pop up not such a good combination... No bites at spray on various lures and baits. Stayed about 2.5 hrs
(Due to wind)then onto Ghost. Fished boat launch west for apprx. a mile .no bites.......
Great day on the ice.

ryanlookingforperch · « **Reply #269 on:** Jan 03, 2014, 01:39 PM »
