Anyone have an update on Newell? Hoping to get the boat in the water to fill my walleye tags (never thought I'd be able to do that in March).

Your tags may have expired. Double check, but I believe March 15th was end of season.

No might about it, Newell is closed to all fishing...

anyone have the reports on Mcleod lake at all? Thinking of driving out there this weekend, but don't want to waste the gas and 4 hours if it's no good. Thanks in advance!

Anyone have ice report for the Boyle area?

Skoaltender 03-25-2016 07:22 PM

We were all driving on long lake today by Boyle. 20"+ of solid ice. LOTSSSSSS of snow which will soon be slush on top.

R3illy 03-25-2016 07:52 PM

Had 20+ inches out around Athabasca today.... The rain pushed us off the lake early today and made it quite treacherous driving down dirt roads with snow turning to slush with all the rain.

Pinehurst
 
22" of ice with 8" of snow on top. Couple spots with floodwater but trucks still driving along South shore.....

I would think everything south of Red deer in the prairie, is likely in the process of opening along the edges, Crawling Valley is open, lots of open and 1/2open ponds around there, stuff along Hwy 9 is breaking on the edges.

Dang! You're right. Glad I asked. That sucks! I guess I'll be pulling out the fly rod and hitting the Bow instead.

lromanchuk 03-27-2016 05:34 PM

Any recent Cold Lake reports? Hows the flood water?
