Yeah its not close, but its pretty much all hiway except for the last 5-10 km into the lake.  One day I'm going to give it a try, I just can't seem to convince Carl to go after the perch with me...;D

I will be heading to Burnstick Friday morning, anyone know What the Ice thickness is? Never been there but checked Google maps. Looks like entrance to lake is off the North shore from Alder Ave. Am I right on this? Where on the lake is a good spot to fish? Anyone else going? Let me know.

You can see the lake right from Burntstick lake road, there's a public boat launch that's right there as well. I can't say i've ever wet a line there so I can't help you with that. The road in is well travelled and maintained at all times of the year, and they're pretty good about plowing after snowfalls as well.

No luck today. Its such a big lake and having no clue were to find any perch and what to use makes fishing very hard. About two hours of not even seeing a thing and we were off to yellowhead. Again nothin but a few groups around me caught a couple. Then we headed to birch to at least get a bit of action before dark and my buddy got a couple little guys. Next time we will be headed strait to birch.

One day somebody who knows the lake will have to show me how to catch them out of burnstick.

Thanks for the update. Gonna give it a try tomorrow. Got a depth contoured map from anglersatlas and have a good idea where to go.
 Sorry to hear you had a bad day ICEFISH, hope i have better luck. If not I always said that a bad days fishin is better than a good days work. At least it's an outing, but catching something would be a blast!  :tipup: :icefish:

That whole day was a waist of gas haha. But at least birch lake was able to give up a few Brookies, that
made the whole day worth it and we hardly fished there. We are going to birch saturday if any one want to join us.

I was out on Burnstick the Boxing day, caught lots of small perch. Lake seems to be fished out. We fished north side coming from Sundre past the camp ground followed the road to the north boat launch by the cabins. Follow the tire tracks on the lake, there was lots of people out.

Hope this helps, good luck.

I was at Burnstick today... I would not recommend driving on it yet... the top three inches of ice are not of good quality leaving about  7-8" of ok ice.
A pressure crack showed up right under my nose today when I was trying to set  a tip up.... the ice in my hole cracked... that was disconcerting.. although I knew I was safe.... you always get an eerie feeling when something like that happens.
