Fished for 4 hours Saturday. Caught 2 small pike and 5 walleye. A bit of a slow day

I

Fished Wabamun twice this week, fishing has been great! Lots of walleye, al very healthy, and several small, healthy pike. Seeing them make a comeback is great!

Hey do I need a boat to fish here? Is there a public dock to use?

Where is a good spot for fishing in wabamun? Off the main dock? Or good spots for shore fishing

Itchin for fishin

Any open water yet?

i wonder how the shore line is all around the lake ? anyone still able to get on or is she done for ice fishing ?

Anythingfishing: i was out there last sunday and drove onto the ice by wabamun and fallis point and it was fine, slushy but fine. Than went out again on tuesday and it along the shore it was looking pretty thin, tried walking out about 10 feet and i was stepping through into the lake the sand and rocks

Verjario- what part of the lake were you at where the ice looked sketchy ? i was out last weekend and ice was good , (near power plant)

How is the ice, was out there a few days ago and ended up leaving because the ice all along the shore lines looked sketchy

we got some nice ones in about 5 feet of water , 3 big pike and the rest walleye but seemed almost like they were chasing them around , that was by the power plant first time seeing big pike in a while

Where's a good spot to find those big northern pike on this lake? Been all over by the wabamun access and fallis point, anywhere from the weedy 4' of water to 29' of water and all o had seen are a couple small jack, a fair few small walleye and some lake whites

Was out friday, by wabamun access pretty well all tge snow is melted off, still about 23" off solid black ice underneath with 4-5" of white ice on top. Lake access getting pretty slushy. Fallis point still has a bit of snow on top and 23" solid black ice and 2-3" of white ice, access isn't as slushy. 4x4 definitely recommend for both access

Ice is really starting to rot in the first 6 - 8 inches. Especially on north shore. Fishing was slow till about 7pm then the walleye moved in shallow. Find 8ft of water over sand and the walleye are stacked like cord wood. Some decent size mixed in there too.

FishAb- was out there both Wednesday and Friday, by fallis point and over by the main wabamun entrance and had close to 2 feet of ice

Just something to think about, but as a resident of south seba we have been getting updates on the proposed new boat launch by the power plant, the documents say when it opens all the “local” lake access points will be closed, if that happens ice fishing access will be reduced sudstantially

Fished south seba all winter, very slow, small walleye but on a positive note have seen more whites than usual, still overall a poor experiance, from trophy pike lake to....

has anyone been out recently by town site? whats the ice like?

Just wondering if anyone has had luck with burbot in Wabamun this winter or in the last few years?

Hows the fishing by seba beach?

Joshjames- roughly what area of the lake were you fishing?

Varjario: Yes there is access towards the south along the shoreline once you get to Fallis towards the point, 4x4 with aggressive tires was a must on Saturday for that area be careful when driving in that soft snow.

Ihave never finished wabamun, Is their an easier access to the lake to get to fallas point other than using the main lake access?

Caught a few walleye west of Fallis in 20FT, didn't get much action anywhere else on the lake in multiple spots and depths, 4x4 is a must especially when driving off the beaten path

39" pike in 20 ft. Of water off the west side of Fallis point. Used a 8" mackeral deadbait on a tip up 2 feet off bottom. Bought a pack of 5 baits for 6 bucks from superstore. Fished from noon till 4. No bites or fish seen while jigging various spoons and jig heads.

Surely you don't think a larger pike won't eat a small walleye or walleye minnows do you ??

Since a lot of fishermen think walleye are a problem( myself included). Make sure you fill out the surveys from Alberta realm . A couple months back they did a big one on changing walleye regs/tags etc. Our feedback is helpful as we are the ones out there actually sportfishing. Just to be clear I am in no way associated with Alberta realm or any of its affiliates. I really believe the better we are as fishermen and outdoorsmen the more plentiful our resources will become.

It used to be a hot spot for whites. It is now dominated by walleyes. Walleyes eat perch, whites and small pikes. These species suffers. It is snow extremely unbalanced. Unfortunately, Pigeon, Gull and Sylvan are in similar situation.

Stinkfinger it’s not CN’s fault that the fish aren’t biting the water has been tested and given the all clear years ago, if you want something to blame I’ll give you a couple reasons. 1st they introduced walleye which took over the lake. 2nd I’ve seen more than one now people keeping fish from there. 3rd don’t forget about us fishermen we sometimes use bait and gut hook a fish and sometime they don’t survive. So don’t blame CN cause you can’t catch a fish.

Was out Monday. A couple hundred yards out from boat launch. 2 Walleye and a Jack in 2 hours. Saw a few more.

We were in 8-10%u201D of water straight out from the town boat launch.

To yoro fish finder how deep of water were you fishing in and roughly what part of lake

Was out on Sunday from 7-7. Started out slow. Moved spots and got on them! 12 walleye, 4 pike, including a 15lb healthy momma pike!! They are there, ya just have to find them.

A friend toured the lake by sled on the weekend and talked to a dozen guys and the fishinh was horrible from one end to the other. I haven't heard any good reports for 3 winters now and most of the fish are small and sickly. Obviously this lake is headed for a total collapse.

Put for a couple hours this morning . One small pike. Couldn't find the walleye even in tried and true spots. Almost perfect day to be out there though

Went out yesterday from 0900-1500, caught 2 small jack and 1 small walleye, few more bites and a few swam by, not great but steady enough to stay interested

Went out this morning pretty brisk -38 on the way in got everything set up sat down tip up goes off and it's on caught a 13lb 13oz pike 5 minutes in to fishing not a bite since lol

Went out on the 28th south of the townsite boat launch, ice was 15inches. Fished from 0900 to 1600, saw and caught 1 walleye near the end of the day and saw 1 other jack. thats it.

2.5 hrs , 4 guys and not a bite. Funny how 88000 liters of poison ruin a lake, thanks CN

Very slow at rr 43 in the afternoon didn’t see anything

Pretty good action for small walleye off south seda, lots of trucks out there today, beware of overflow in lots of areas our Polaris Ranger 1000 was almost stuck once a little further out

Ice Report: 15 in
15” at Fallis townsite lots of trucks driving on. Slow biting during afternoon.

Fished about 2 hours on 20th January just west of Sundance plant. A few wally's but no pike. 12" of ice and drivable but some pretty deep snow in places. 4wd only and even then you could get stuck so bring a good shovel.

I remember a guy using sliced liver for pike here,i have to say it works amazing

Fished this lake before usually always do good with walleye and pike. Anyone catching any burbot or whites recently?

PROBABLY OVER A FT

Does anyone know a recent ice thickness off the main dock? Thx.

Sure ther could be but I'm sure not like there was 15 years ago . As for lac la nonne theres always good quality size pikes there biggest I pulled out of there was 16 pounds and it was 10 years ago in front of elks beach .

Only 5-8lbs? Was at lac la nonne today and caught 12 all around 8lbs, I heard their was supposed to be 20 pounders and higher in wabamun
