I was out at Sparrowhawk yesterday (Sunday Dec 31). Road from Canmore is OK, plowed but a little icy in a few spots. A car should be fine with decent winter tires. Ice was good, close to 12", and covered with about 4" of soft packed snow. As usual, fishing was better in the morning and tapered off at about lunch time. Sure was a nice, sunny day, hardly any wind, but pretty cold.

Here are a few of the fish I caught up there yesterday, pretty much cookie cutter fish.
