Default Kananaskis Area Snow Reports?

I was just wondering if anyone has been out to Spray, or the Upper / Lower Kananaskis Lakes in the past week or so, and could report on how much snow is on the ice?

Thanks,

Scott

Fished Lower K on 7 March lake itself is just a foot of snow about 24" ice. But snowbanks on the roadside is waist deep.

My buddy and I tried the lower lake on Saturday east end - never even marked a fish on my flasher, let alone catch one. Beautiful day out at least.

How much water came out of the holes due to the snow pressure? Might head there this weekend.

None on Saturday. There was about 4" of ice, then a layer of about 2" of water, then another good 18" of ice or so I'd guess.

EDIT: We were fishing at the east end of the lake near where the boat launch is.

Ray, if you don't mind me asking, what kind of depth are you fishing at?

How high do you run your flasher from your lure? If you don't mind passing on a tip. Or do you mean an electronic flasher?
