No it doesn't. You just have to update your app. Go to essentials. Settings update. Mine says 0 pike.

Dose any one find it funny that in the regulation it says pike limit 0 and on here it says pike limit 3 over 63 cm

Caught a 7.7 lbs walleye yesterday, and a bunch 1.5-2, this lake is fastly becoming a favourite

Love to see some pics of those 5 pound walleye

Fished the lake on the rock wall on may long. Lots of action. Lots of small pike, and dozen or so walleye. walleye ranged from 2 pounds to 5 pounds, so I was pretty impressed with that!

Fished for 2 hours on May 15, 2017. No bites, nothing on fish finder, nothing. Water is VERY turbid at river inlet and stays like that for a very long way. I figure the fish have migrated to the South end away from the turbid water.

The canal at Carseland is cranking. McGregor will fill up in short order.

Was there on April 23. Water was low but boat launch looks useable.

Anyone know if the lake has open water?

No I'm looking to try out my new boat. wondering if the ice is gone?

Doesn't matter how much ice if your looking to fish. The lake is closed till may 8

Anyone know the thickness of the ice or if there is any open water?

Cool thanks man

Ice is still thick and solid, but getting wet on top. Last day!

Is the ice still thick?

Is it still safe to go fishing in McGregor now? I mean is the still thick? Thanks

Well, a very long day for us because the auger didn't like the cold. Thank you to the locals in Milo who were very helpful offering to punch some holes in the ice for us or to even to let us use their workshop to work on the auger. Very welcoming locals! We finally got hooks in the water near the boat launch at about 15:45. Had 20" of ice, but there was a very big pressure ridge down the lake on the west side. Fished until 19:00 and only managed to bring one pike up out of the hole, and had a few other strikes. Didn't see anything else on the camera where we were. Bad day fishing is better than a good day working!

need some advice, been here a few times looking for burbot but I can't seem to get any, I've fished the boat launch hump and the point south of the launch on the west side. I've seen people directly across from the launch and North corner, can anyone tell me where I should be looking? or any other tips on the ling

My sister caught a 6 pound rainbow out of there Jan 29th. Myself and her husband were very surprised.

First and last time I saw a Rainbow come from here was about a decade ago and it was a good size. Pretty cool, thanks for sharing. :)

That's amazing rusty. A rainbow in there???

7 pike for the group today

Lots of trucks on the ice yestersay. North end

Do people drive on this lake?

Was very shocked to catch a 5 pound rainbow today while pike fishing.

Slow any where from 4 to 8 inches

Slow during the day but some action during the evening. Five of diamonds was working, in 6-9 feet of water.

Good fishing. Caught 6 pike in 4 hours. All were under 50cm though.

Lots of rocks for pike and Wally to hide

Great fishing, lots of small pike every where

How is the perch fishing in this lake, just trying to find a place to take my son.

Caught 2 good sized walleye and some pike. Got too windy later in the day for my little inflatable.

Be hauling my Glastron next trip Wish Fish and Wildlife could listen, cause its sad to catch so many skinny fish, been like this last 3 years.

I was trying to warn people. Lake is up about 4 feet since last I was there. Still needs about a metre. Some people can launch depending on what they drive. Fished off rock wall again, 11 Jacks and 5 Walleye. Its bothers me cant keep a pike or walleye, everything I have caught this year is skinny to starving. These fish are to plenty and not enough to eat.

fYI: Water level very low,difficult to launch a boat as it is very shallow,save yourself the drive from Calgary,wish I had!

Oh and about 25 walleye and 2 small jacks on spinner rigs and crawler harnesses. Nothing huge but a fun opening day.

I'm a little confused by the low water comments, it is down but not too a level where you can't launch. I put my boat in (17 foot aluminum) with no problem on opening day at the North Park Launch. There were quite a few empty trailers at the launch and I saw at least one bigger fibreglass boat on the lake.

Caught 11 pike off rockwall, all pretty small but good fighters. Water is still to low to launch but irragation canal filling it was right full.

Was out on Sunday, April 31, could not launch boat as water was too low :(

Thanks

Completely open, I had my boat out on Saturday, not fishing!!!

Just wondering if there is any ice at the north end or not

Anyone know how the ice is looking along the dam? Is it all open now? Thanks

Was out fishing on Saturday, seen One truck on the ice down by the rock wall on the North end. Ice was about 8 inches. Still a little sketchy with all the warm weather, better to walk and get the feel of the ice.

Any ice reports near the dam? Any trucks still on the ice over the last few days?

There is almost always open water under the bridge. The water flows through there. Just don't go close to it in your truck. I saw a guys truck go through there before. He must not have seen the open water and drove straight towards it. 👎

Anyone know the ice thickness

Thanks mitchy for the info! Seven year old and open water don't mix going to hit up crawling tomorrow always good fishing there and no open water lol. Have you ever seen cray fish there?

What's the fishing like? Hoping to get out there this weekend. What's everyone using for bait? I'll update Sunday

Yes that bridge. Lots of open water around there tho. Be careful lol

So the bridge if you were heading to badger?? That's the south side!

It was my first time ice fishing this lake so I didn't know where to go either but we hit up the south end of the lake.

Mitchyd if you don't mind me asking where did you get into the ling? I've been curious for some time where to go on the lake for them. I've been told to check out the boat launch! Thanks!

Went out today was on the lake at 9am and only saw one pike. Pretty slow day._

Went at 3 am last night and landed two pretty big ling. One was 33 inches long. We also caught about 30 crayfish they would just hold on to the smelts the whole way up the hole lol. Pretty fun night tho. Gonna try again next weekend!

No whitefish in here

Does any know the ice thickness i was there last weekend and it was 19"

What hooks and bait have been working on this lake? Never been here before, is there a location on this lake that is producing?

I fish this lake a lot. I have never seen a perch and certainly never seen one caught. i do fish the same end of the lake all the time. What end did you catch the perch?

yes good fishing this winter with lots of perch to 10 inches, walleye to 5lbs and smaller pike... good fishing and ice to 17 inches....

Heading there today, even we didn't caught any 3 different weeks/spots ago but others had better luck. Ice it was 60cm tick enough for driving on.

Burbot is by the boat launching area, about 70 my off shore

I've been out a few times trying for a burbot. Any tips on where they're hiding? Thanks

Walleye and pike caught here
View on Map

Forgot to mention, I was only fishing for about an hour

Was here yesterday, got 2 decent pike from my kayak, 1st one was 24 inches and 2nd one was 22 inches

We spent about 2 he's out today and had a blast, one pike and a nice sized pickeral... Our first real fishing trip in Alberta.

Spent 3 hours there this morning and got skunked. Fish finder was very quit too. Tried a Powerbait minnow and a classic red and white spoon, in the bay by Milo and up by the dam.

Are there trouts in this reservior? The app doesn't show them but I was told by a friend that there are. Thx

Caught 3 nice size pikes at the south end yesterday, close to the bridge. Windy day.

Make sure to update your Irish for latest regs. Go to essentials and then to the update tab.

Went yesterday from 7 pm to 9:30. Caught 3 walleye drifting with the wind and jigging off the bottom by the milo boat launch with a 4" mr twister. Biggest was 2 lb.

For information--- IFish shows that you are allowed to keep pike from McGregor but in fact if you check the regulations you will see that there are no pike allowed to be kept this year--- be careful or you might end up contributing to some politicians retirement fund. Good fishing everybody

Can anyone comment if we are allowed to do snow geese hunting in this lake? Is this a good place for snow geese? If not any idea for a best place for snow geese hunt? If snow geese hunt is allowed, do I need permission from adjacent landowners etc? Thanks in advance

Is there an easy way to get a quad and trailer down by the dam? I tried with a boat last year but had to go to the other end to campground

No perch yesterday, but plenty of walleye. Tried for whities but no luck. Any word on white fish action?

Anyone catching perch here?

Hey just was wondering if anyone knows the ice thickness by the camp ground ? Thx

Was out fishing this morning. Someone left a beer bottle in a hole with about 4" still sticking above the ice. Please remove your garbage with you when you leave. This was just deliberate ignorance and causes unsafe dangerous conditions. Not impressed

South end of lake

Was out on dec 11th watching two people on the ice with illegal lights risking their lives for fish.

Ice was about 8inches thick on Dec 6 about 20ft from the shore of the dam. Caught two small pike and saw lots of white fish on the camera. Ice was cracking and heaving a lot as the morning warmed up.

ice report please?

Hey g no ice yet not for a while still open water

Is the lake frozen yet I would like to go fish today off the dam

been great fishing this summer with pike to 10lbs and walleye to five,practicing catch and release fishing up to 50 fish days combined

Trolled for about five hours on the 17th--- two of us caught eight smaller pike--- between two of us must have tried thirty different lures but no big jacks wanted them--- that's why it's called fishing instead of catching but still enjoyed the day with my old army buddy. It's not always about catching. Sonny

Fished August 27th Everyone I took out caught 1 pike at least Probably would have done better if I wasn't taking different people out for trips all day. Haven't had a chance to fish the dam, heard it is a serious hotspot.

Three of us trolled for about four hours and we all caught a bunch of fish mostly pike but a few walleyes. I got one walleye that was easily five pounds and lost something that snapped my 12 pound line like it was a piece of thread---- my fault for not having my drag set properly--- all told we caught and released forty fish of variable sizes--- weather was perfect until around 3 pm when an incoming storm forced us to pack it in but got to spend the day with two old army buddies all in all a perfect day

One pike in two hours off the dam.

Caught one small pike on the north end and two good sized walleye along the campground. Too windy!

Go to pine coulee

Any body getting any thing at north end buy the dam like to take kid out

Three of us trolled for four hours Saturday afternoon and only one small pike. Another guy had trolled all morning and he caught two small pike--- the water is quite murky--- it will get better fishing when the water clears. Good luck to everybody

Is the water still pretty merky ?

Trolled the shallows (7' - 16'): May 17th - 12 fish (8 walleye) May 24th - 12 fish (4 walleye incl. one 3.5lbs) I observed substantial walleye poaching occurring along the north rock wall. I yelled at the people but the Fish & Game officers really need to patrol this more frequently.

Kid caught 2 pike in less than an hour

Reservoir is running high and dirty!

Heading out today hopefully get into some walleye!

Were the shorelines producing

Opening Day - May 8. Trolled for 5 hours and got 8 walleye and 2 pike. Quantity and size was the best I have ever seen out of here.

May 10 Open water. Tried to catch some white fish, managed to break 4 lines on bites... my fault for using crap line. Some people caught a few. Think there was more people than fiah landed.

May 8 5 walleye decent ones and one nice size pike

Want to check if it'll be open water soon. Last year we went right on May 8th, but I think this year is colder.

You should be able to put a boat in by mid may!!

Can anyone comment on how much ice is currently on the lake and when it may be possible to launch a boat out there?

Ice on the north end, along the rockwall is extremely thick. 4-5 feet. Only 5-6 feet of depth under it. Anyway, very strong, you could drive a tank over and be fine. Extremely windy. Was there for 3 or so hours, didn't catch anything.

Open water on Feb 2. Go around the peninsula!!!

They're commercial fishing this lake right now.

Was out here in the end of July. Caught between myself a buddy about 12 small pike. Went again end of August with zero luck. Fishing off shore. Looks like the reservoir was running higher. Remember. Report poachers.

It's easy to report those that are taking illegal fish. The report a poacher number is on the back of your license. Give them a call they are happy to hear from good people. I did and go a easy 400.00 and they lost all there gear and a nice big fine.

Very good fishing lake we went camping there for seven days and I cot 44 fish of the dock just with a jig and Minos

I live in Vancouver, My mom is CEO of the Lake :P What is the best bait up there, and is it better to take the boat?

Went to Twin Valley today but only caught small pike, very slow!

Remember folks to release your fish quickly and handle them gently. Witnessed a waste of a fish that was illegal on size but died anyway due to poor handling and measuring. Be smart!!!

Good pike fishing but way too many poachers on the bridge takeing undersize pike that it was upsetting. I wish conservation would do more checks on the people fishing there so poaching stops.

Went out here with a friend. Fishing from shore side. 4 walley with bait we did not keep. Fun day.

20 pikes. 4 walleye. No keepers. Live bait

Went out by the bridge area. Caught 20 pike and a few walleye nothing i could keep thou

Anybody know how thick the ice is lately?

Decent weekend, not to many fish but enough to keep you interested. Thanks to whom ever stole my tip up on sat.

last friday fished for 1.5 hrs no whites

Went last weekend - Feb 3/13. landed 5 pike and lost 2. Released them all. Nothing large. Fishing was slow until we found the 17 - 22 foot drop off near the deeper channel. Jigs (anything with white in it) and tipped with some sort of minnow head.

Nope, saw no perch when I went.

Anybody have any luck finding perch ?????

Went out this morning and caught 6 small pike. Fishing slowed down in the afternoon. There was about 16" of ice. No luck with whitefish.

Tried just off the campground boat launch this morning, still around 18" of ice, not even a fish on the camera, was sooo cold I was home by lunch

It was chilly but 4 ok pike in the morning but very slow from 1:00 on. Ice was 14-18" thick

What was the fishing like

Ice 18 inches

Anybody been ice fishing? Wondering how thick the ice is. What about perch spots?

Yeah I was just there this weekend trolled a straight line from the rocks up the lake catching all sorts of walleye and pike along the way

The WilderDude himself made his first appearance at McGregor a week ago and caught a few from the rocks everyone fishes from. All Pike but all a good size, hope to catch some other fish next time I go.

Hey I was just wondering were everyone goes here to get nice size pike..I know everyone fishing the rocks for walley is the pike there to or further out thanks

3 good size walleye and 4 small jack

theres too much commercial fishing here, it has ruined it for the people that are fishing here for fun. we used to get alot of action here but nowadays, it seems to have less and less action with all the commercial fishing going on!

Got 2 good size Walley. And a couple of medium Pikes. Good fishing.

The lake Whitefish are the main risers at this lake.

Can't catch anything at night

Caught 4 walleye 15 pike 2-4 pounds range slow start to the day. Best activity was mid afternoon. Always slow on may long didn't get anything last year. Not to many teeth in the pike right now.

Was scouting the reservoirs today and mcgregor is still iced up as of this afternoon. Hope it gone by season opener next weekend.

Went to check the ice thickness on 02/13. Near the dam. It's about three feet.
