@CrappyAngler, I saw the camp gate was closed on Sunday. I tried to get to this lake from north side beside the railway in summer. There were a lot of small bushes here. How did you access this lake? Thanks.





by CrappyAngler on Feb. 23, 2021
Camera was filled with tiny undersized perch. Saw a few small jacks as well

Which farmers gate is the access point to the lake? I only have a 2WD 1 ton with a set of chains. I do have a whole lot of gear to drag out as well. I’m taking a bunch of kids out on the ice next weekend, I want to make sure it’s a positive experience. Thanks.

by Weekendwarrior on Feb. 25, 2019
Taking my nieces out fishing in 2 weeks and wanted to get them on some perch. Just to keep them interested lol. What's everyone using for bait. I ice fish a lot but never mink. Any info would be appreciated. Safe travels





by Tom2017 on Feb. 13, 2019
Any recent report of thickness of ice and fishing condition?





by adam_gamble_outdoors on Jan. 29, 2019
Lots of trucks out on the ice, but plenty of small perch to be caught. You most likely won't catch anything over 8", but you will catch a ton of fish. Lots of fun for kids or someone who is trying to get into ice fishing. Good luck!





by CRB on Jan. 4, 2019
Very quiet day on the ice. One bit. 12 inches of ice.
by Tinman84 on Dec. 24, 2018
Took my daughter out yesterday. Drilled a hole so she could fish while I set up and she landed a small perch right away. We stayed on the lake for a few hours. Perch are small but it was a great time for my daughter. Overall great day. If you want to take your kids to a lake near Edmonton where they will definitely catch fish Mink is perfect.

by iFish Guest on Dec. 21, 2018

Perch fishing is really good here ...landed my 1st pike





by Ilovefishing on Aug. 15, 2018
Hi Rocksniper, where is the public access to this lake? I don't want to camping, I only want to fishing there. I guess the register center won't let me enter their campground. Thanks.





by Rocksniper on Aug. 15, 2018
Pike were a biting, few medium size 1 monster took my leader and spinner. 1 hour fishing 6 Pike, fairly good results, Perch are favoring hot dogs, and worms

by WarezMonkey on Jan. 14, 2018
Caught and released 15 tiny perch. Had to move holes often once one went dry but usually always had nibbles.





by Headstrong on Jan. 12, 2018
So, is the farmers field option the only other access other than going though the campground? I hear you can't drive in from the campground. Is there any other access points to be able to drive on?
by iFish Guest on Jan. 8, 2018
When i went to try the lake today i saw no trespassing signs at the entrance to the farmers field so i showed some respect and didnt drive in there. Went to wab instead.





by Mikey1781 on Jan. 4, 2018
Lots and lots of perch. Some really small but can get 15 decent ones outta here if U stay long enough!!





by ekirylda on Jan. 3, 2018
Perch are ferocious! Good times for all..10 to 14 feet deep! Bell sinker and number 7 hook with white beach corner maggots...they will only bite on beach corner bait!

by jdmwapiti on Dec. 10, 2017
Bubba yes yes is , But I talked to him the other day and he stated if people keep leaving there litter on the land , IE Tim Horton bags coffee cups he will shut it down . I picked up what was left behind last week





by Bubba123 on Dec. 8, 2017
Hey everyone! Is the farmer cool with people parking in his felid on the North side of lake?! Looks like the fence is opened !!





by Donnie Izummi on Dec. 8, 2017

by Loneway on May. 22, 2017

by DAFISH on Jan. 14, 2017
Is the only access still from the store?





by JaydenB on Dec. 26, 2016
Not too many large perch, think people need to let this lake rest a couple years and let all these little ones get big. Fun catch and release lake though





by fish4life11 on Aug. 12, 2016
Caught a 35 inch jack last weekend !





by Jeremybarnes on May. 14, 2016

Fish in my fish tank is bigger than here. Don't waste your time.
by Golfcrazy on Feb. 6, 2016
Some really nice ones.... if you consider 6" some really nice ones??? No big ones on camera anywhere. Not worth trying!!





by Crown on Feb. 6, 2016
Really slow, 4-5 inch bait steelers, not sure what all the fuss is about, everyone I talked to today was told to come here, painful at best.





by Crown on Feb. 6, 2016
Really slow





by Recon73 on Feb. 5, 2016

by Carlson101 on Jan. 27, 2016
How was she blocking access?





by Loco fish on Jan. 24, 2016
That lady at the store blocking access to the lake should be ashamed of herself.





by Bottom bouncer on Jan. 17, 2016
Anyone tried mink lake this winter?
by Dalray on Oct. 8, 2014
The lake winter killed bad last year. It will be a long time before its sustainable again





by The poor disadvantaged fisherman on Aug. 10, 2014
No fish here just lot of weeds tried everything .





by Curtis_rak on Jul. 23, 2014
Spent about 4hrs on the lake. Fished the main part as well as the backside without a single pike. Able to catch juvenile perch 2-3" long anywhere in the lake in 5-13' of water.





by Bottom bouncer on Jul. 21, 2014
No fish, tried everywhere.
by Krazi_ladi on May. 25, 2014
This lake used to be one of my Favorite fishing holes, last year caught not one fish! Decided to try again this year day before yesterday, trolled the whole lake and not one bite! I would love to know what's going on with this place?!?!





by Swampy on May. 5, 2014

by stingray14 on May. 4, 2014

by iFish Guest on Jan. 29, 2014

by iFish Guest on Jan. 27, 2014
he all do you have to pay the 13 in the winter time? im heading their this week to try to get some perch





by iFish Guest on Jan. 22, 2014
Out the other day. Camera showed 8-12" perch, couldnt convince anything over 6 inches to bite.





by Defence_77 on Feb. 5, 2013
Down side to this lake is the $13 fee to get down to it. I would recommend jackfish lake down the road.





by iFish Guest on Feb. 2, 2013
Four of us out here the other day. I'm the only one who caught anything. Caught 12 small perch. Used red hook with red maggots about one foot off the bottom.





by coolfish6 on Jan. 18, 2013

by cron on Jan. 13, 2013
went hear in late nov , early dec with the wife ,caught a few small stunted perch and a few small pike , was still fun this lake needs alot more people fishing it to help the stunted situation , more fishing = less stunted perch and maybe some keepers





by Dalray on Jan. 8, 2013
Talked to some locals. Fishing is dead there. Everything you get isn't worth keeping.





by Jford on Jan. 3, 2013
Has anyone been on mink lake yet this winter?





by Sarcastic1 on Aug. 12, 2012
Small little pond with crappy boat launch and congested dock so hard to pick up people and cost $12 to launch. Only good for swimming in





by Seamax Ed on Jul. 14, 2012
Slow morning 3 small 45 cm pike. Going for peach later





by James on Jul. 10, 2012
Great day caught 6 fish and one over 7 pounds





by Webby on May. 30, 2012
Lots of small and medium sized perch





by Roadrunner6969 on May. 21, 2012
This lake you need a boat to catch! Shore fishing is pretty slim to nil, better chance of catching a buzz





by Roadrunner on May. 9, 2012
Hey we are heading up to mink on may long is there any good spots to shore fish from?





by Ita4life on Sep. 11, 2011
Great day fishing 6 pike 1 perch. Haven't been disappointed yet. I agree I would like to know of a good perch spot too.





by Fisherprice on Aug. 20, 2011
Unreal, have not yet been skunked this year. Can usually limit out with the pike but would like to find a good perch spot.
by Bubbafish on Mar. 1, 2021
Anybody catching perch?
