Another 7lb - 27 " walleye June 3 2018

Ice is off....in case anyone else was wondering.

Is the ice off?

Going up the long weekend. Any tips for fishing from shore?

Hali spoon tipped with red maggots about 6” from the bottom. Try from 15’-30’ of water.

Anybody have any advice how to catch perch on broomstick thank you in advance

You can clearly drive all the way across. 17 to 20 inches of ice.

Can you drive out onto the ice right now?

Perch.
View on Map

Tried out the new camera today. Lots of fun. Tons of 3-9 inch perch that I would’ve never caught without it. Don’t care about the size pretty fun. Saw a pike rush through the school of perch which was pretty cool. The people that left all their garbage behind in front of the boat launch was not cool.(grow up!) I know I don’t have to explain or rant , It’s kind of useless but maybe the kids will enjoy fishing for Fish instead of beer cans or pop cans. Maybe it was walleye white master that rushed through ha ha

I have fished the lake for almost 40 years and have yet to catch a walleye or seen one. Good luck some say they are catching them east of the boat launch in about 25 fow.

Has anyone been able to locate the walleye on the ice? Starting to think there are not very many in the lake haven

Lots of nice size Perch

Fished the North side in 40' feet of water and took home our limit between 11%u201D-12%u201D was a nice day. Fished the east yesterday and did the same. After 30 years still don't know were the walleyes are. Good luck everyone.

Was nice to be out even if the bite was next to none at the north end. Any one having any luck at the south end?

Ice between 10-12”. Huge hazard in the middle when trying to access big part of lake from camp ground. Large ice heave all the way across and has open water

8 inch lots of perch

At Burnstick today and caught lots of perch averaging 9-10%u201D. Ice was 8%u201D thick

Venport. It depends on how thick you are comfortable with being on the ice. It was 4-5 inches thick a week ago but with the warm weather I don't know how the ice would be now. Test before you go out too far.

How long till we can get some shacks out? is the ice fully covering the lake?

Ice was 4-5" by the summer village boat ramp.

BeerBabesBurbot What are you using to get the perch?

Getting lots of perch and pike but nothing of any real size, fun for the kids. No one I've talked to is getting much for walleye it seems. Had a little one on but lost it at the boat.

Went here to fish from shore today, way to shallow and weedy from where the boat launch is.

5lb walleye and a ton of small perch. Couple decent pike as well yesterday.

Any Walleye being caught here?

Been fishing from the village boat ramp the last 2 weekends. Caught four 50cm+ pike on 5 of diamonds.

hows the perch fishing?

Is the ice off the lake yet and how's the fishing ?

Might try to get one last trip in this weekend before the melt. Anyone been out there lately is it still good to walk on. And also how's the fishing been

Straight out from Alder Ave about 100 yards. Perch very active in 35 to 40 ft of water. Sliver zinger with white maggots. "FISH ON!!!"

On south side put about 4 a

Arrived at 9am and from 9 to about 10:30am the action was steady for perch. Spent all day and in total landed 30 plus perch. Buddy of mine had a pike on but it snapped his line before he could land it seemed like it was a decent size. Ice conditions are good, some deeper snow on the south side of lake resulting in a couple of trucks getting stuck. Ice is about 15 to 18 inches thick.

How's the pike fishing?

12"-16" just about everywhere on the lake. Driven around the whole lake with no issues. Small red wite worm worked the best.

How much ice is out there

Anything between 6"-10" is good out there. Lots of litter ones before you get any big one. The best time is early morning till about 11am.

How big are the perch getting in this lake ? If anyone could help

Thanks fishnuts!

No it is not protected from winds. I have seen several shacks blowing across the lake this year and last. Can get very windy

Never fished this lake before, can anyone tell me if this lake is protected from the Chinook winds?

Red maggots tiny spoons or jig heads almost anywhere

Any tips on a first timer out to the lake... hole locations and bait to use?!

Is anyone catching perch

Thanks fishnuts for the snow report.

Ice Report: 12 in
Some areas have up to 20"

12-20" of Ice. Lots of 1/2 ton trucks out.

There's about 6-8 inches of snow on the ice

Hey just wondering how much snow is on top of ice. Wanna tow my shack (on wheels)with my quad (small honda). Would like to know if I could tow it around before I go up

I have good luck at 20'. If you have a camera you should look for weed stubble. My friend and i catch no less than 50 in a few hours but the keepers are few lol.

12 inches of good clean ice.

Those perch will bite on any size hook with any bait. I've caught more perch than pike on a #0 hook with full minnows

What depth of water are you fishing in? Lake gets deep fast

For perch, maggots, minnow head, and tiny lures

What works out here?

Saturday about a foot of ice. Had the jeep on it. Tons of small pirch.

7 inces of solid good ice....... Caught lots of small perch with a few keepers!!!!!! Need to find the big boys.....

Nice walleyes

Anyone have any ice reports yet?

Huge walleye

Had a fantastic weekend. Bunch of pike on day 1 and then caught a ton of perch on day 2.

Holden. What were you using and how deep for the perch? Any help is appreciated. We will be camping in the area and taking a group of kids fishing and it would be great if we could get them into some decent perch fishing as some of the kids are pretty young and perch would be a lot easier for them to fish for.

Medium sized pike, and tonnes of perch.

Going camping there this weekend, what's good bait to use?

S you were poaching on a lake that is closed to angling until May 15, don't think I'd be bragging...

Out on the lake trolling for pike April 24. Spent 4 slow hours trolling caught 1 small pike at 9 feet. Cloudy cool day.

Is the pike fishing good

South shore

there on 02 march Ice is still 16-17 inches thick, but some cracks on it.

Was out yesterday for the day and had several Jack's take the hook but only iced one 2.5lber. Lots of ice cracking but trucks still driving on it.

Thanks fishholic. Planning to go out tomorrow. Any known Jack hotspots?

Was there on 24th Ice was 16-17 inches.

Anyone have a recent ice thickness report?

Thanks catch

February 14, 2016 ice thickness 17 inches

February 14, 2016 great perch action. Not that far out on the ice from the boat lunch. It was a great day. Didn't see one Pike or walleye though.

Heading out tomorrow,anyone have an update on ice thickness? How has the fishing been?

Anyone know when the derby is this year? Or if there are any other derbys around the area coming up this weekend?

Caught 7 pike and 25 perch between me and the nephew. Saw 1 walleye. Drilled 4 holes in same are to check depths and ice. 11 inches - 16 inches of ice. Bottom layer is getting soft.

The Ice is between 12" and 16" thick. Fishing is good and fun on the south side, but can catch them anywhere on this lake. Great place to take kids. Goodluck everyone.

Has anyone been fishing recently? What is the thickness of the ice?

Just a bunch of nibblers in this lake

There is definitely no shortage of perch in this lake!! I don't keep the fish i catch. I wonder how many other people that come out here is on unemployment insurance.

Thanks fishnuts! nothing like some good karma for helping some guys out! just try and leave a few for us! Hahaha

The ice was about 16 inches. Someone's ice fishing shelter is blowing across the ice in this wind. Lots of bites so far only 4 perch to show for all our efforts. (Hooked three while trying to writing this! Woo hoo! Go me!)

How's the ice thickness right now? I'm headed out this weekend with a buddy? she's been warm the last few days but we're expecting the ice is still in good shape.

Hey guys Don't share to much or that lake will be over ran in no time. Sometimes it's good to be shhhhh

Hey guys Don't share to much or that lake will be over ran in no time. Sometimes it's good to be shhhhh

Not too shabby of day yesterday. Caught 14 perch between the 2 of us in 3.5 hours. Mostly caught straight out from boat launch at the summer village side. And remember, if the woman don't find you handy then they should least find you handsome.

Man there's perch anywhere on this lake and they eat anything that fits in their mouth. No need for perch hotspots

Great for perch.

Big perch and the odd pike.

If your fishing for perch try a small brass with a red head wire worm with maggots. If you get a perch with the bladder out take your hook and lightly poke it. I know it sounds creul but they will swim away. All the trips out we have found the bigger ones are in the middle or the West side. Goodluck to all.

Thats all you caught? Must be your location:/

Once we figured out how to catch the perch, we caught 9 in about 2 hours. Very very gentle bites, using maggots about 1 to 2 inches off the bottom. All the ones we caught had their swim bladders bloated, anyone know how to help the fish if this happens? Pike were no where to be seen, we had two rods out between us, one on smelt and the other on minnow! No joy at sign.

Ice Report: 17 in

Heading out tomorrow, what lures are people using to catch perch and the big pike?

ICE REPORT : 12.5 INCHES

Went out on Wednesday last week and did well. Was on the south end of the lake. Caught 8 10" perch through back about 30 and caught 2 6-7lbs pike. I do say you have to be patient but they are there.

Where would one go for pike? Been here 4 times this month and have yet to see one

I'm heading out on Saturday diets anyone have a ice thickness in the last day or two

What is the biggest pike you've ever caught in this lake? Biggest I've seen is 5 pounds.

Beauty day on the lake yesterday. Ice was 12-14 inches. Lots of trucks driving on.

Spent the day on the hard water lost a pike and one no the ice but too small. Seen a lot of small perch too! Slow day!! !2 inches of ice!!!

Heading out in the morning and an update before I go would be awesome!!!

Wondering if anyone has been out on the lake over the last 12 days, how's the ice? and how was the fishing?

Ice Report:5.5-6.5 inches Was there on 15th and it was great day.

Ice Report: 5 in

Went out on Saturday. C&R'd 3 smallish pike and a 20-1/4" sucker!

Been out three times in the past month and pike fishing is lousy compared to last summer. Lots of locals saying the same thing. Water level seems low too. Never seen the minnows so thick in any lake before.

4 walleye in an hour between village and campground. 10 ft on the edge of the weeds, one three lbs other 2 and change,

Nothing but big walleye here. Trawled up and down the channel between the weed beds. watch out for other boats. Use bottom bouncer

Went fishing for Pike on June 20, 2015 and caught all walleye from 2 - 6 lbs in a 3 hour period. Can't keep them but man was it fun bringing in those 6 pounders. I will add a hotspot soon for trolling. Side note: the walleye ban is doing great for their population and regeneration of the species in this lake!

Caught one small pike 3-4 pounds in 8 feet of water. Only a couple of boats and didnt seem like anyone else was having any better luck.

As of the day of the derby, how thick was the ice?

Registration is at the camp ground parking lot between 9 and 10:30. Fee's $10.00, barbless hooks, catch and release. Fish till 2:00. Kids under 14 are free.

Kids caught 50 Perch mostly small a few good ones water was 25' deep. landed 1 good Jack missed a few hits on tip ups water was 8' deep.

Anybody know anything about a fishing derby here on feb 15? Any details?

went for the first time today. no sonar, all barbaric handtools, caught double the limit of both perch and pike. ended up keeping a 27" pike and 2 7.5" perch. Definitely coming back with my boat in spring.

Ice Report: 14 in
16 to 14 inches

Went for a couple hours. Didn't see any fish at all. Ice was 16 to 14 inches 80 yards from shore. Saw another group out about 125 yards out with 3 half ton trucks and a car fairly close together. Also saw a couple sleds and a few other trucks but no signs of anyone finding them fish today. The water was very clear with lots of water bugs cruzing around so maybe they were full today? With that said it still beats work.

Tons of small perch going crazy for maggots. Nothing worth keeping but great fun for the kids
View on Map

Fished the south end again today. Nothing. Too shallow. Got to go to the central part. Tried all sorts of bait. Worms, maggots, minnows. Nothing... Got to keep trying I guess.. Any rig set up recommendations?

Was out from 10:30 to 3:30 only had a few bites but nothing caught. Wasn't planning on going to burnstick so didn't have much for bait. Any suggestions for baits and depths to fish? Thanks in advance

Would it be safe to pull out a 17 ft camping trailer made into a ice fishing hut with a half ton truck onto the ice? Thoughts?

Great little lake for Perch Ice Fishing and occasional Pike. I was there 4th time on 4th January at -42 windchill. Caught 40+ perch. 95% was 5-6 inches and I got few 10 inch perch. Also caught 23 inch pike. Ice was 16-17+ so I was driving my full size truck on my spots. Due to quite a bit of snow fall, It was hard to pull my sled for over a mile.

Was out on jan 1. Beautiful day. Ice is 12-14" thick. Tried for perch. Didn't snag any. Any tips on what bait is best? Thx.

Lots of small perch Great for the kids . 18"+ ice. We were using maggots.

Safe to drive on yet?

Thanks Uppies. Can a guy get on several places or is it from the campground?

There's no trout in burnstick lake.

Gundog77 fished Birch for most of the day Sunday and the trout were biting decent

Was out on Sunday. Only fished for about an hour, didn't see anything. Ice was good. More than 12"

Just wondering if anyone has been out? How has the fishing been? How are the ice conditions? Looking to take the kids out, would be our first time to this lake

Lots of perch. Use a small jig and worms

Ice report? How much melt

Ice is fine 10 to 8 inches lotta of perch.

Going out tomorrow. Will let you know what's biting.

Anybody catching anything??

Catch anything ?

Thanks for the update NC! Fish on!

Crap, sorry guys accidentally put the measurements in feet, to make sure there is no confusion it was 10 inches NOT 10 feet Sorry about that

Ice Report: 10 ft
Both sides of the lake, drilled lots of holes, and it was 10 inches nice and clear everywhere I drilled. Bunch of other groups out ice fishing as well

NC how was it up their any luck how's the ice

Heard on Alberta Outdoorsmen it was 10 inches nice and clear, I'm heading out there Saturday, will give a report when I'm back

Anyone know the ice situation as of yet?

Anyone know how thick ice Is on Burnstick ?

Chestermeres got 6 inches

Im going to try on sunday. I will let you know.

Any ice?

Any ice to walk out yet on to drill a hole?

Spent the day on the lake trying all the usual spots and lures and nothing was bitting. Wasnt until 3pm as I was watching a few other people landing fish that i moved into 4 feet of water into the lily pads and switched to a small spoon that I finally caught a nice 69 cm pike. Beautiful day on the lake hardly a breath of wind and cant complain about the 20+ temps.

Pike fishing is really good this time of year. 7 in two hours plus lots of curious followers. Not bad for mid-day fishing. Mepps Cyclops was the lure of choice. Cast along the lily pad clusters in 6-8' deep water near the shorelines for best results.

Lots of smaller perch by the north-east shore. Big pike broke my friend's fishing rod in the same place.

A lot of smaller perch here

19 inch Pike
View on Map

yes about 4.5-5lbs lol. Lot's of fun to catch. I heard of 10 lb walleye and pike, but rare.

I am sorry but a 23 inch walleye is no where near 7. 5lbs . It would be 4. 5-5lbs

The biggest walleye I ever caught from here was ice fishing 5 winters ago in about 8 feet of water around march. Half a mile from the shoreline close to the other camp ground side of lake. Walleye was 23 inches and 7 1/2 pounds. Through the summers I catch lot's of perch off shore. Casting far out into weed beds and bringing maggots and worms on jigs back slowly in 4- 5 feet of water. Many nice sized perch results. Allowed to keep 5 no size limit, 1 pike over 24 inches and 0 walleye. Might even be the odd brown trout around the lake.

fishing in a 14 ft boat floater. Casting out and bringing back slowly twitching the rod to imitate bait. Fishing this lake for almost 10 years now and have nearly caught 80 fish. Fun lake, exciting, suprising results for nice sized and numerous catches of pike, walleye, and perch.

seen many schools of perch around the docks. Last summer caught a couple of 2 Lb walleye and 8 in perch about 2 km from the dam. They were in about 8 ft of water close to the lilly pads by shoreline. Best success I have is with a small jig tipped with real bait or imitations.

caught a couple pike in a few hours fishing off the main dock.

Fished burnstick, was slow for most of the day, had to leave the lake for about an hour due to a storm that blew in. Caught and released 3 pike averaging about 3 pounds each, lots of fish on the fish finder but not much biting.

Can anybody tell me if the ice is off yet?? Or close to being off??

Has anyone been out here lately? If so, how has it been?

Can anyone tell me is it safe to drive on lake after these minuse 30 days this week ?

Can anyone give me some advice on what your using to catch perch.

way to much snow and flooding on the ice. walked out from south side and only caught small perch

Lots of small Perch.....don't they ever grow up?...where are the keepers in this lake?

Ice Report: 8 in
Access on North side....4x4 only . Parked off shore and walked out. Lots of water on top of ice under snow. When you auger a hole flooding occurs. So would not try and drive on lake.

Ice Report: 12 in
Along north shore parking is very tight no vehicle access. Lots of small perch one pike

slow for perch but lots of ice and couldn't chase the fish around all day… will be back to investigate

Heading out this Sunday for perch!!!!!

For Walleye, we were using black double-tail jigglers with bright orange heads in about 20' of water off of lillypad beds. Pulled up a nice 5 pounder in under 10min.

Does anyone know the best way to catch walleye here ? Thanks

Last year I fished here but it was only for abour one hour I caught a pike and a walleye. Can someone please tell me what should be good to catch the perch, pike and walleye thanks!

How big of perch are guys getting in the open water season?heading out tomorrow.toss up between rainbows at beaver or tryin for perch at burnstick?

Hey part timer, I haven't found any that I know of, I'm heading down to travers to camp and fish instead. I believe there is decent spots along the lake there.

Hey Shanker did you find any campsites close by? Thinking of doing the same. Thanks

what do you use out there for perch and pike gonna head there this weekened. thanks

Hey, I was interested in camping at or close to burnstick. Does anyone know if there is a spots for a trailer.

10-11in ice. Were a couple vehicles on the lake. Cutting it a little close in my opinion. Was also not impressed with lots of garbage and empty beer cans left on the ice. Oh, just a note, car surfing holding on to the roof racks while doing donuts in the middle of the lake isn't the smartest thing to do. Lots of small perch on the camera. Biggest 8 in. Few skittish pike. Got a 1 lb walleye. All still swimming.

Is the ice thick enough to drive on yet?

2lb pike today..

8 inches of ice

Just curious if anyone knows the thickness of the ice?

Was out today started fishing at one till 4:30 caught 60 perch with ten keepers and one pike between 2 guys!! Great day on the lake

Went last weekend cought 9 pike but didn't really explore the lake much stayed near the start of the campgrounds

Big fat zero! Nothing except for seeing a few pike in the shallows...

Fished for about an hour from the docks and caught 1 Pike about 2 foot long. Looked like there was alot of smaller fish there that the pike were feeding on.

Was out on Saturday and was only able to get one small pike. Went out again this morning and hammered then. A dozen once I had given up trolling. I will be back!!

Fished May long here, really slow! 3 Pike, biggest being 60cm. Kids were catching Perch of the docks, nothing to write home about though. Great campground!

Heading up May long, any new reports on the fishing? Would like to get a nice feed of Perch......

Ice was 28" thick! Caught 30 perch, only 3 keepers and 3 pike, only one keeper. Most of the perch are pretty small!

Does anybody know how much ice is on the lake? Thinking about headin out tmw!!

I have a camera and there were literally hundreds. A few 12", used small hooks with maggots-russian, mitszu. Light biting but at times didnt get the hook down and were pulling back up.

Cheers! Thanks for the tips can't wait to give it a try!

Some of the fav markers are on the Ifish map, head out from boat launch,head left and in about 30 ft water - 100yds ish from shore, any where along that side to the grassy slopes. You will see old holes. Good ice 2+ feet. Had my super duty and no creepy noise. Have fun, enjoy the sun

Planning on heading out there from Sylvan on Tuesday, any word on ice conditions (still drive on?). Also any advice on a good spot for Perch?

Had a great day, tons of perch and some decent size(10"). And a friendly visit from the warden

I haven't been out there but the ice on ghost was 10" in spots and Ppl fishing. I my self am waiting a bit till the ice gets thicker.

Anybody been out here fishing this winter? If so how thick is the ice

Didn't have the boat with us, so we just fished from the dock. TONS of small perch lining the whole dock area, and pulled in a smaller size pike. Mosquitoes came out of the blue around 6:00 pm, so badly it made any further fishing impossible. 10 min later on the ride home, thundershowers

Clear water. Slow action but still a great view. Pirch are in a few feet from shore.
