Spray Lakes 2018.
Hey guys,
Has anyone been on the ice at spray this year, better if recently? I’m planning on heading out tomorrow with the wife and had a couple questions? - road conditions? We have a small car and she would really prefer to not get stuck haha -areas? Was thinking walking a little ways south of sparrowhawk. -ice? Good all over I assume? Regardless, I’ll bring updates tomorrow, just wondering if anyone has any info |

The usual 15.5” lakers lol

Anyone have any recommendations on what to use for hooks, bait, etc. out there?

My best Lakers at Spray Lake I caught with Williams Ice Jig at 30-40'.
|
Gold swedish pimple for me, tipped with a bit of smelt. Next best option has been a smaller white tube jig, tipped with smelt.
Oddly enough, my last couple trips the previous fishing season had more action on tip-ups. |
Hey Scott how good is that tent in -30 -40? I was thinking of buying the exact one. I wonder if its as good as the 600 denier fabric on the clam im looking at? TIA
In addition, I would add some ideas for bait/lures. I reccomend white and yellow (sparkly version) tipped with bait such as smelts (no minnows) or shrimp. Also don't be scared to throw a dew worm on or red wire worm if youre targeting whites. Silver spoons tipped with bait work well on lakers too! |

This Coming Weekend
Heading to Spray with the family this coming weekend...
What can I expect for ice right now? Guessing 18"? Snow depth? Anyone lucky enough to catch a few whites yet? |
A group of us are heading out on Sunday, If you see 4 or 5 tents close together, stop by and say hello.

Hey Scott, I bought the fatfish 949 I. It works great, just as you said!
|
Keeps us posted on sprey lake productivity, I would like to try again next week as I was skunked last time but would really like to catch a couple trout.
|
Does anyone ever catch fish after noon? Like up until darkness? Does the bite pick up in the evening?
Cheers |

I Think the snow on the ice may be too deep for me for sure. Good luck
|
I am going to try snow shoes or touring skies
|
Was thinking of heading up for Tuesday - anyone have any recent ice/snow reports?

The lakers usually seem to be active early in the day or later in the evening. 60 to 80 FOW. However a buddy of mine has gone shallow (20 FOW and shocked me with some nice lakers). http://www.outdoorsmenforum.ca/attac...1&d=1520966327 http://www.outdoorsmenforum.ca/attac...1&d=1520966378 http://www.outdoorsmenforum.ca/attac...1&d=1520966378 http://www.outdoorsmenforum.ca/attac...1&d=1520966866 http://www.outdoorsmenforum.ca/attac...1&d=1520966378 |
Kingfisher -- where do you buy those tubes? Or are they home made?
4-6" tubes not too big for Spray Lk? |
I build them. PM me for info.
|
I also have been build some tube jigs for spray but I am having a hard time finding jigs that are 2.5”. Lots of 1.5” to small and lots of 3.5” that once tied are to long in my opinion. Been to bass pro/ cabalas and fishing hole with no luck. Anyone seen any 2.5” ?
