Just wondering what the shoreline is like on the north side of the provincial park campground. Might be up camping close to the lake for a few days later this summer and would like to kick the tinner in and leave it in for our stay if possible, thanks.

What species are you referring to nova days ?

Had a great day on Sunday landed 20 fish

Anybody have luck with spring Walleye this lake can skunk you may times over

Went out yesterday fished the south east side of the lake, got three decent fish in 30 to 40 feet. Bite was hot until 10am then died off completely. We started trying deeper and were marking fish in 80 to 100 feet suspended but couldn't get a sniff. Does anyone have and tips on fishing lakers this early?

Ice fell few days ago. Can't see any. I plan on going out tomorrow night . Catch those post spawners in the bays

Anyone have a visual on how the thaw is coming along?

Thanks, I will inquire again prior to the long weekend!

There is a slight chance the lake will be clear by the long weekend but we'll need some heat and wind. Still solid ice on most of the lake.

How's the lake ice looking? Is it going to be clear for May long weekend or should I bring my ice fishing gear???

Make sure you have good tires there are big drifts out there. There are decent trails to follow to popular spots. And ice was still good when I went out Thursday

Any word on ice conditions this weekend? I'll be heading out either way, but can I drive on the ice?

was talking to biologist on lake this morning good chance lake trout will be tags 2019 season

Still gtg driving on with trucks. Had no issue going out past the marina. No bite though but will try again today out by French Bay

I don't live near cold Lake, want to make a fishing trip is it still ok to get on the ice with a pickup there ?

Anybody know the snow conditions on the north end right now? Truck broke down was wondering how much snow was on the ice and if the little SUV can make it out was there a couple weeks ago and there was about 6" thanks in advance

You cannot get around the heave from the park boat launch

Anyone know if you can get a pickup past the heave at French bay?? Thanks

Ice Report: 30 in

Also maxed out our gas auger just out of French bay and around 24” of ice in French bay from the holes we’ve drilled. Hope this helps anyone else

Out at Cold Lake our first time here from Calgary. Day one we were skunked marked tons of fish, had them chase us up and down the water columns. We were using TC's with various bait. And other large jigs. We tried to avoid crowds but it was difficult. Trying our last attemp at Cold Lake tomorrow before the long trek home. If anyone has any tips or even some advice to send me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated my email is jon.jacquard24@gmail.com.

Slow morning to start off. landed a nice 9 lb 26" laker at 7:10 in 160' of water and had nothing until losing two back to back at noon in 80' after moving and exploring. Back to deeper water for the afternoon. TC Moto white and pink jigs tipped with minnow. 28" of ice pretty much everywhere, right to base of auger. 30+ trucks out and about all the way to sask border side NEED 4WD for sure, top layer of ice/snow is crusty and ROUGH, few guys got stuck driving to far east side this morning for over an hour. tight lines everyone and happy family day weekend!

So why do u need such info? Use what worked before. Duhhhh

i do this trip every year and end up posting results and what worked and what didnt including depths and bait/lures but ive never given out location or asked for any help finding out peoples honey holes, so gear down bud, its an open question that ive helped people before so dont be a d**k

Do u want gps co ords cteed? Lmfao

how has the fishing been? depths? best lure/bait? heading up friday morning for three days of chasing lakers and walleye if laker bite is slow. Will post feedback as we go.

Out here right now. Almost maxed out my 36 inch auger. 20 inches plus every where I’ve put a hole. Trucks everywhere. Off the marina, Garnet Beach, long bay, French bay. They’re all good to go. There is a huge ice heave around pelican rock that’s looks like it goes north all the way across to the second point.

Out here right now. Almost maxed out my 36C

Havent been there in a cpl weeks but all reports i have from legit ppl say driving is safe in the bays. Be another year where i cant get my truck to where the keeper size trout live

Know it's been pretty cold, maybe not many going out, but is there any info about vehicles driving on the lake...what is the snow load right now? Thanks folks.

New to cold lake just got sent here for three months and don’t have any transportation. Living on the base. Was hoping someone on here that lives near or on the base would be kind enough to bring me along with them one weekend for a day of fishing? I do have my own rod and tackle. Didn’t bring my auger with me on the plane..... would be willing to throw in some money for gas. Thanks!

I went on at sandy beach south of the English bay boat launch on Sunday and there was 16%u201D of ice 80 fow

Anyone drive to the island from north bay cabins lately? Just wondering how the ice is there?

Did you drive out? Just wanting a report so I don't waste a 7 hour drive to come up there

Ice Report: 14 in
Center bay and French bay had anywhere from 18-20inches on it. I drilled about 10 holes in total. I checked ice North East of pp point about 400 yards out onto the main lake and found a spot with 14". I didn't venture any further although tthere was tracks. There is an ice heave forming on French bay.

Snowmobile went through at the PP. use extreme caution.

Very slow to nothing biting around French Bay Jan 21-22. All species. Ice is 18" and very rough to cross in some areas. Make sure you know where you are going if you bring a trailer. Fairly smooth trail between Prov Park and east point of the bay but going north, encountered very rough ice heaving.

Hey everyone, I was gonna take the wife up and do a trip for a few days but was gonna pull the enclosed trailer up and set up on the ice but was kinda wondering if you guys thought it was possible, any help would be great Thanks in advance

60 feet and 16 inches

60' of water out from the marina, caught 8 by noon. Quit biting after that. About 16%u201D of ice.

Ice Report: 18 in
Approx 200 yds off North Bay Cabins. 13 feet of water. Half ton pickup no cracking.

Was out in Frenchman bay today people driving trucks out there everywhere was about 14" of ice where I was. Caught 10 lakers and called it a day. I took the quad out just in case didn't wanna drop my truck in.

I didnt fish cold lake because i got reliable info about the ice. Word is the ice thickness is inconsistant and varies from 8-14 inches on french bay.

I'll know for sure tommrow

Hey all wondering if I should load up the quad or if it's a waste of time if I should leave it at home and just walk on thx for the feedback.

Ill post a legit report when i go up there this weekend.
