How are the ice conditions? Anyone having any good fishing on lac du bonnet or lee river? im gonna be heading out there for new years and was gonna spend a day fishing just wanted to know what the best place to start would be. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Not asking for spots. Just wanna know if its safe to fish either and if the fish are biting. Im gonna be staying at my buddies cottage on lee river and last winter we fished the river and caught nothing not even a bite so i want to make sure that doesnt happen again so we may go to lac du bonnet depending on the ice conditions

i havent been up there myself but i know lee river has been frozen for quite some time, id still be careful in a few spots where there would be current. ive never had much luck for walleye in the winter there, but im sure you could set up for pike and get some action, try hay bay creek if you have a sled or quad, but getting info on the ice to cross there would be a good idea, i personally dont go there till later in the season. good luck, sorry i couldnt be more help

Thanks for the info im thinking ill try the little creek/river at the end of pinawa bay it should have lots of ice and be the easiest spot to access and i would think i could set up some tip ups accross it and get some pike.

Is this the creek right near Cedarwood by any chance?

i would think that what he is talking about, only one i can think of in that area

LDB_Bass_Hunter · « **Reply #6 on:** Dec 19, 2011, 10:37 PM »

goes to coca-cola falls.......when I think about it, there are lots of depth changes/transitions at the "narrow" section going towards the falls.

BBB · « **Reply #7 on:** Dec 19, 2011, 10:38 PM »

Yes thats the one that im talking about that hits coca cola falls i would think from the looks of it there should be some pike in there maybe a few perch. I think its worth a try and probably safer then anything else

Have you ever fished that river bb? If you want pm me any info would be appreciated. Ill be fishing it either way it would just be nice to know what to be expecting.

HighlandGlen Guide · « **Reply #9 on:** Dec 20, 2011, 02:56 PM »

i have fished in front of the falls in the summer time and have caught pike, heard you can catch walleye there, but ive never caught there, summer time you have to get there before the party boats do, cause they just sit there and drink all afternoon

thanks for the info it would be nice to get a few bonus walleye. Do you know what the depth is in the river?

yes there is to the left of it if you look at it from the lake, usually some holes drilled there but never tried it

HighlandGlen Guide · « **Reply #12 on:** Dec 20, 2011, 06:35 PM »

not sure on the depths, we were right in front of the falls fishing and along the rock that runs out from it, im guessing it was around 6-8 feet there

My buddy has been having a family birthday kids fishing derby party twice a year on the Lee. Once in Jan and again in Mar. For the past 5 years we have fished near the reef and drill holes from the deeper part 30 fow up to the reef 2 fow and have caught northerns, walleyes and perch.

thanks for the info guys ill probably just try the small river at the end of pinawa bay a try since its close to the cottage.

Hey BBB, We'll be fishing that exact spot that week end, I suggest just before the boat launch on the north side, a bit of everything in there, If you see a few families out there come by so we can figure out what's working. (I'll have the blue polaris 800) Plenty of ice, sleds buzzing on it for a while but always wise to be cautious

Sounds good ill be sure to come by. Thanks for the info

BBB · « **Reply #22 on:** Dec 30, 2011, 12:59 PM »

Could we park at the boat launch? we will probably be driving there in the truck so it would be nice to be able to park close to the river.
