I was out there on saturday, Ice is 18 to 24 inches, but has a bit of snow on top so 4WD is needed.
Fishing was really slow, for us and all of those that we talked to. we were looking for walleye, and tried depths from 8 to 25 feet, and had only one bite. I have fished this lake for 29 years and this is the worst that I have done there. Hopefully the bite picks up soon. Possibily the weather had something to do with it as well as it was snowing pretty hard.
Was there on Sunday, the weather or something must have been effecting the fish because they all had lock jaw. We did see a few fish on the camera but even the pike often only took a brief look before swimming away.
Lots of snow on the lake, even with 4wd it could be fun getting around.
I've never ice fish here in the past but last summer we went to this lake by the provincial park. Where's the access for ice fishing on this lake during this time of the year?
Access is fine - both at provincial, at Calhoun, at the south end by the launch and by a park in town. There is probably a bunch of ways to get on. The main south launch and the launch in town are good for sure.
