Time to start readying the ice fishing gear. I wonder what the ice ridge will be like this year when the ice is thick enough?

trust it more than a 12 foot aluminum.

this zodiac aint no dingy.

I don't know that I'd trust a zodiac on that lake

A HotSpot Marker was added for Lesser Slave Lake

I've got a zodiac and I'm looking for a place to launch away from the busy boat launches between High Prairie and Faust. Any suggestions? It's a zodiac. I don't need a boat launch but need decent access.

Spruce Point Park - Steady walleye bite throughout the day. Better in the morning than in the evening with my experience. Caught a few 22 inchers in about 8-6 feet depth, and a bunch of small ones around 4-5 feet. The odd pike here and there.

When the winds are at 20 can a guy still get out to fish in a fairly decent sized boat!?

3 big Pike caught near here..water was calm sunny day

I've heard the east end is slowly picking back up since the weather it's slow but people are still catching

Went to shaws point on the west end of the lake and slayed walleye. Definitely better then the east end of the lake. It was steady catching during the morning,day

Been fishing for 2 days straight and cought 2 walleye only.. with boats around us barely catching anything aswell... water is dirty and pretty high. Been coming here for years.. worst ive ever seen it. Especially in june

Ya maybe at one end of the lake, the other end opens in May!! The whole lake isn't closed read the regs

nobody should know what the fishing is like because the lake hasn't opened for the open water season yet

How is the water level/fishing

Friends sent a picture yesterday and there was open water about 200' from shore. Won't be long.

Just wondering if anyone knows if the ice is off the lake yet or when it will be

May 15 for most of the lake, only June 16 for Hillards Bay.

not till June 16

Is there any perch here

First time ever fishing this lake yesterday, was out at Canyon Creek, in 5 hours only 1 hit yielding 1 fat 63cm walleye. Solid 40 inches of ice and approx 30 feet of water

Heading out to Joussard this weekend. Any reports on the activity?

How's the burbs doing right now?

make sure you have a shovel or follow trail

Is truck travel still possible with the recent snow and what areas of the lake are still accessible with trucks, thanks.

Fished out of Joussard this past weekend, very slow two walleye and 2 pike between 11 guys fishing.

Try out by drift pile

At joussard fishing very slow any buddy else having any luck.

I'm heading up there this weekend everything's already booked packed and ready to go so no canceling.I have a 4x4 truck and I'll be pulling a shack on qheels.were would you recommend entering the lake

YeOldeDude

In the meantime - fishing very slow the past week after some excellent times. Joussard has almost 100 huts on the ice http://southpeacenews.com/pics-joussards-ice-shack-village/ Usually there is a trail out to the hut area that is travelled every day. No problem for trucks and anybody pulling a hut on wheels. Usually !!

How do you answer questions on here?

Two days fishing 1 small pike, pretty sad...

In spots

Is an auger extension needed out at canyon?

we were using moose heart

What's the good bait slavelakeslayer?

good limits of pike, walleye and perch

Going to slave lake this weekend how's fishing around Joissarr area?

What is the access to Slave Lake like at Joussard, any issues with ice ridges?

Is the lake accessible with a truck pulling a small enclosed trailer?? I have a shack on wheels and I'm heading out there at the end of February to sleep on the ice so I need some updates as I live 4 hours away.thanks

The ice is plenty safe for a half ton truck 36 inch in places

Has anyone fished the narrows at kinuso? Wondering if I can still get a pick up out on the ice to the shacks? Haven't been there in a month, have any heaves formed?

Can anyone tell me how much snow there is up there?

Canyon Creek is clear to cross the ice heaves, just follow the tire tracks to the left.

Finally a walleye out of Winnagami Lake. Too small though (44 cm's)

How about at Canyon Creek? Is there a way past the heave? With a truck safely?

At Joussard. Is the best way past the heave east of town down dirt road?

Ice Report: 30 in
Spruce Point. Ice almost to the motor of the auger. Trail from Little Miami. Fishing was slow.

Where can one get access to the lake exactly?
