No shack rentals on Cold Lake... Nearest would be Lac la Biche or Lesser Slave.

Looking forward to the ice fishing season, I have some friends from Ontario wanting to come out and fish Lakers on cold lake, does anyone know of any ice hut rentals in the area?

Lots of little Pike near the lily pads

Cold lake pickerel caught on a 3 hook mackerel rig #5 with a Meps spinner somewhere at the end.

Was out fishing on the long weekend caught 73 cm northern pike and a 60 cm lake trout cool weather! Lots of fishermen ! Slow action!

No. You can keep 3 as long as there over the minimum length. You can clearly read this in the regulations.

do you need a tag for walleye in coldlake❓

Nope been him for over a week

Any ice left on lake?

Still almost completely frozen over. Probably be a couple weeks yet especially with this cold weather.

can anyone report if open water for boat yet?

West side of sand bar at long bay I walked yesterday and its sketch..but seemed to be at least 2 ft ice everywhere else. I'm still taking sled out tomorrow. Stay on safe side

Anyone know what the ice is like ?

I'm going out tomorrow I can update in the am

How is the ice condition?

Much snow left on the lake? Was debating on if i should take the sled or quad on the ice this weekend. Thanks

Ice Report: 24 in
Off the Provincial Park point.

Anybody have an ice report for March 14/2019. A few buddies and myself would like to come down and ice fis. Thanks

Anyone know if anyone’s been catching perch off provincial boat launch area this winter?

Anyone know if anyone

Any tips/spots for whitefish/burbs? I tried off the pump station yesterday. Marked fish but no luck...

You might wanna try out by the marina. You will see I trailer try there perfect conditions under ice for burbs

Heading out on Tuesday, first timers, anybody know snow condition on the ice? I'm hoping to catch some burbs, anybody had any recent luck with them? Thanks

Hey everyone

Got my Mitsubishi Lancer out but my cousin got stuck in his Ford Escape, the difference of good and bad tires

The snow isn't too deep. Depends where lol so I saw a awd car at French bay. Good tracks there. Provincial is ok going to trout spots. But that's all iwould trust. Marina should have good beaten down track by now. I went from French bay to provincial in my 1/2 ton with duratrack tires and there are ice shards so you wouldn't wanna venture there

Does anyone know what the lake access is like, I’m wondering if an awd car with good tires would be capable

Hi total 83 I'm heading out there again I'd sure appreciate a map if you dont mind. jerrodc1967@gmail.com thanks

attention: Tootall83 ... I have read thousands of fishing sites over the years and very, very rarely someone like you steps out and helps out a couple fisherman with real fishing information ... everyone wants to keep everything so secretive .... good things happen to good people ... have a wonderful long weekend ... doyle

Ok lets start with email. Mine is Chevyhunter350@hotmail.com Then can get each others names for messenger and i can send ya a map of what's what and where to go

Total 83 ... So the provincial park you speak of would be the best way to access the lake to? Is there a way on here to DM you on here. I have a a question about which bays are which . And I could probably ask a few more questions cause you seem to be in the game of actually being helpful to people who don't really know the lake . TIA !

No problem. I check this often so got any more questions or need help let me know

Totall83 that's awesome I really really appreciate that info . Saves gas and a trip for nothing . I'm stoked to explore the area and thanks for the hazards lol I never leave home without my shovel. I'll post an update on how we do on our first trip to Cold lake

No heaves that I seen theres about 22 inches of ice . Thanks totally for your update I'm heading back there in a week. Seen alot of big pike hope to hook up on one I can mount . As for lake trout ya got a good spot . Much appreciated

Justintime if u want guaranteed fish, pike anyways, provincial park is where u wanna be. So thats the boat launch which if you were coming on highway 55 from the west and go through the lights past the Tim hortons/pizza 73, and keep driving until you hit the lake. Anywhere in that bay in 2 to 10 feet of water you will find them. Only place to be careful is the sandbar, if you google map it and satellite image you will see where it is between th bays. As far as heaves I sledded the whole west side on Friday and saw none. I got an average of 2 ft of ice in the bays. You will be fine with your explorer on the tracks. Bring s shovel if needed..not alot of snow on the lake. Couple feet thr odd big drift. I saw cars on at French bay as well. Thag probbaly has the best beaten paths

How much ice there redneckshin? Much for heaves on the lake right now?

Hi all, looking to head up to cold Lake for the first time. The wife wants to do this for our Valentine's trip. I'm not looking for honey holes or anything. I'm just looking for what I should be prepared for. I have a few questions like can I bring my Ford escape and be ok staying on the main tracks? We will be staying in cold Lake Town . So if anyone has any pointers or advice please feel free to guide me in the right direction. I'm lookin for any and all species . I just want to experience a half decent fishery not to far from Edmonton. Tia !

Was out yesterday 400 yards in front of marina. Drove on in half ton truck. Managed to catch 2 Lakers both an inch to short. Great day though lots on camera

I took the skidoo from marina to French bay and back. Only sketchy spot was out from provincial park first point where the trout fishers are, actually a little more out by the hump. There was a crack and flood water

Has anyone driven a half ton (or bigger) out to Garnet Point or out from the Marina yet on Cold Lake? French Bay was around 18" where I was two weeks ago but didn't notice anyone driving out near the point. Thank you.

Anyone having and luck with burbot

Ice Report: 18 in
18 inches off the provincial park

Have been out to Cold Lake for a few trips, fishing has been slower than I would like, but still catching a handful of decent lake trout. 80-100 feet of water, watermelon coloured tubes and small soft plastic baits seem to be producing well.

I usually do well with the lakers in the summer and might try for them this winter along with burbs. Usually catch lots of pike here too and caught a decent walleye once. Never got any here yet but I may have a clue as to where the perch and whites are. Anyone catch anything recently?
