Thompson Chain and island
« on: Dec 23, 2014, 11:38 AM »
Hey I was wondering if anyone had been fishing the Thompson Chain of lakes, Loon, or Island lake yet this winter. If so how has the fishing been and what size of pike are people getting especially out of island.

From the reports page, Thompson's are still open. Island is froze over.

Get a few more posts and you'll have access to reports and conditions page
When there is ice on the lakes, I never make employee of the month!

I'd be very cautious on Lower....  There were people fishing at the upper end [of Lower] on Friday but there was open water by the inlet on the side opposite the highway.  After seeing it last week when it warmed up and had just barely started icing over... Looked like a recipe for a swim.  This cold spell will do wonders but please be careful!
