I'm just playin with ya. Perhaps you forgot to ask for a specific lake?

"Any updates on ice thickness?" Only minutes after I just posted some seems like a mistake. No?

How was fishing?

deerguy 12-27-2015 04:37 PM

8-10" at Mcgregor, fishing sucked. Fished from 14' -28' from 8:25 - 4:00. Marked 5 fish or so on the Flasher, north end south of the boat launch.

degasvegas 12-27-2015 06:13 PM

10-12" at Battle. Vehicles parked all over the lake today. I still parked on shore and walked out.

dryflyguy 12-27-2015 06:41 PM

14.5 inches at Chump Lake near Boyle
Slow fishing, lots of perch on the camera but all tiny

Anyone knows if it's safe to walk on Abraham Lake atm ? We just want to take photo of bubbles under the ice not fishing though. Thanks.

Scott N 12-28-2015 10:25 AM

We were out on Beaver Mines Lake yesterday, the ice was about 8" and the fishing was pretty good. My buddy caught a bull trout yesterday, but my camera batteries died right at that time so no pictures. Caught a few nicer sized rainbows yesterday morning.

Anyone been out on Newell?

SNAPFisher 12-29-2015 02:28 PM

North end of Gull yesterday. Found 14.5 inches but also found 8 inches in the same area!!! Very inconsistent ice this year. I walked out but most others were in vehicles ...not near me though.
