We fished over my the Church - in 6-10 feet of water -The walleye are biting - The water level is high. They seemed to like the White double tail jigs and reeling slow off the bottom and the jacks are ravenous

We fished sturgeon on May 6 80% open and with the wind we have had it should be wide open. Shawners did you catch any Walleye this past weekend?

LAKE IS GOOD TO BOAT. been all over lake today and I see no ice. Cheers

The wind last night laid a beatdown on the ice. Open from youngs point right across to Williamson.

Put my 20' fiberglass boat in at Young's Point today. 1 dock is in already. Lake is still not open but there was enough room to idle along the shore line with my kicker in 5-8 feet of water and catch a pike.

Not getting a boat in there for at least a week or 2

Does anybody no for sure if ice is gone can u get the boat in this weekend

The lake is still 90% covered by ice. Its going to be at least another week.

Friday hurry up and get here. Thanks for the updates all

Just stopped at lake and there is still a fair bit of ice in middle. Looks like it could be a few more days.

Lake is open! A guy I work with said it was 70% open yesterday and he didnt see any ice today on hus way home! I will be on it in the next couple days for sure!

Anybody boating yet

Not even close

Anyone know if the ice is off yet? Want to get the boat out this weekend.

Sure can if it's ice free by then. And this year I'd say it's not likely to happen.

Does anyone know if you can have a boat on the water on May long weekend there

Fished Youngs Point March 31 from 12:00 to about 3. Was slow......people were driving on the ice. It was anywhere from 18 inches to 24 inches thick. Shore was not slushy at all but it will be after the weekend.

I just Drove by I seen 2 trucks on the lake over by Williamsons - Going to load my gear tonight and giver tomorrow - probably last shot of the year

Does anyone happen to know the condition of the ice? Is it still able to be driven on?

Was out Saturday and Sunday.. Not much luck around Young's point. Bit better around Boyds. Anybody having luck anywhere else?

Anyone catching perch at Sturgeon?

I was out at the islands and there is 30" inches there.

Ice is 22" in thickness . Watch for soft spots.

Any ice thickness reports since the mild weather?

No Big deal guys, I fish sturgeon every weekend in the summer and lots of people pull in beside us when we r in the fish, I also find it frustrating when people pull in too close to us, however Its human nature....No Need to argue on here, Its just fishing!! Enjoy the week Everyone

Unsporting!? Really! I have new people out with me almost every time I go out fishing. This is just regarding the guys that are out there just watching and following us if they want to learn fine walk up to us and ask. don't drive through our rods and park beside us to talk to us. We never turn down anyone that wants to learn. Just need to ask.

fishergirl8 that is very unsporting of you I think, there are a lot of people just learning and very new to ice fishing , I thought this app was to help not slap people out???

We went all over, out at the humps for a bit caught nice big jacks out there no walleye the time we went there. over by the mission for a bit big jacks there too. at the weed bed. Some smaller walleye there. We just keep moving till we find that good walleye spot!

where were you at on Sturgeon Fishergirl?

It's been great fishing moved around a bit to find a good spot. Gotta say though all those people that watch you catch fish then move not even 20ft away from you to catch fish makes me so mad. (I would use other words but kids use this) What ever happened to being happy that people are catching fish give them space and try to find your own. It's just rude. Next time It happens to us again we will not just sit back, we will say something. Spend the time like us and find your spot that's what fishing is about.

12 fish total 1 walleye 11 pike 24" of clear hard ice, drove on with one ton

We found them yesterday 8 feet of water- over my the Mission 2 feet of ice and a little drifted in spots

Fishing slow yesterday - few walleye and small jacks in 6 hours

Ice is lots thick enough

Anyone out there lately thanks

Out for New Years, Nothing at Boyds, Nothing at Youngs.....caught 1 walleye at the mission

Ice Report: 18 in
Nice solid black ice, couple hundred yards from shore. Had my 3/4 ton diesel on the ice.

We seem to catch a burbot every year or so......certainly not many .

Hope eveyone had a good christmas, has anyone been catching burbot out there??

Ice anywhere from 12 to 20 inches.....lots of heaves and cracks. I didn't drive my truck on but I could have because others did. A couple of 3/4 tons were driving all around 20 feet apart so ice is good. Fishing was so so.

Going out Wednesday.

Ice Report: 14 in
Good ice

Fishing was very slow, only went out on Dec.10 for a few hours. Even with a tent it was cold....very cold. Ice was about 8-10 ".Where on the lake is everyone getting Walleye or Perch? And what depth? What bait is working best for you ?

Lots of ice about 8cm at youngster fishing was slow but still caught a bunch of walleye

Anyone know current ice depth in Youngs point area?

I will be out this weekend. Maybe not the 9th but certainly Saturday and Sunday.

Anyone going out to Sturgeon this weekend Dec.9,10,11th?

I wouldn't be driving on Sturgeon with anything yet. Swan Lake (crooked creek) has 3" of ice............Will be interesting to see how much ice is on both lakes in 7 days.

Did you manage to get to Snipe?

Over 5 inches yesterday!! Going to check out Snipe Lake today.

No way its ready yet. Id say a couple of weeks at least.

Thinking of taking a look at the ice this weekend

Anyone had a look how the ice ia doing yet?

Fishing very slow. Went out on sept 28 and never even had a bite around youngs and the narrows. Hopefully things are good for ice season!!

Went out Williams on Sunday caught a bunch of nice walleye and a few jack couldn't keep the walleye off.

Great fishin yesterday 4 keepers right from the dock.

I usually drive from gp to Williamson every couple weeks or so and fish from the docks. Yesterday they were so covered in goose and gull crap, I couldn't even set foot on the one. Just a heads up.

couldn't keep the walleye off spent more time taking them off hooks then jigging real good size ones for sturgon as well.

Walleye are biting like crazy!!

Fishing has been great. We caught (and released) 3 walleye over 50 cm (biggest was 55cm and 2.6 lbs) and kept one that was 45cm. A few pike too, but I don't count those. Cought them in 10-13 feet of water.

Fishings great right now, only one pike the rest walleyes, 6 keepers all back in the water for someone else(had to put the phone down, caught a small walleye) lake is glass

I was out on Sunday afternoon and caught 3 pike and a walleye. 2 were big enough to keep but released them. Was mostly on east end of lake and had best luck with 5 diamond spoon

Was out on Thursday and caught 12 pike and a couple walleye around the weed bed at the start of the narrows. Fire tiger spoon colours worked great in the murky/tanned coloured water

Was out the first weekend the ice was off and not even a bite! Anyone having any luck yet?

The docks are in at Young's Point. They put them in on Thursday. Fishing was slow that day so I tried out a different prop and did some sonar log mapping of the drop offs and sunken islands.

Thanks Chris

Caught 1 pike casting off dock at youngs point. All the boats said they weren't catching anything

How's the fishing out there? Heading out next weekend. Just wanna know what to expect.

No docks last night

Anyone know if they have or when they are putting the docks in?

Just off the shore at Youngs point any good ?

No docks in the water today

Won't be any doc's in the water yet...could try off young's point or the point at the narrows.

Going fishing this weekend up there, whats the best Spot to fish off a dock ?

The lake is boatable.. There was a few boats out on the lake today.

The lake is not boatable yet. There was one guy out in a zodiac breaking up some ice and putting around by the launch at Young's Point. The ice is significantly thinner and there is more open water than when I checked two days ago. I'll be heading to the lake Wednesday after work with my boat. I'll post a lake status update again then.

Was at the lake yesterday at least a week to go before its boat ready at least!

Lots of ice April 11 at young's point

I was there Friday afternoon. No go for boating yet. But it is very close. I'm going to check again tomorrow (Sunday).

Is one able to take a boat on the lake yet? Hoping to get out Monday!

Anyone know if the ice is off

Hopefully you are right...let us know how it turns out!

I hope it won't be that long. Last year when the ice was to the point it is at now, 5 days later the lake was 95% clear and boats were on the water. April 19 it was open if I'm not mistaken. I'm going to head there this weekend and I'm bringing the new Ranger. Hopefully I can get on the water!

Thanks, probably 10 days to 2 weeks.

it'll be a bit left yet still over a foot of ice

Excellent day...how long do you think before boats can hit the water?

19 pike and a couple nice walleye at youngs. another week at most left for ice

Went out on the second at youngs. Great start to the day two really nice jack one broke off at the hole, and I got a 17inch walley around noon. Then at 7 pm got a few more Jack and a really nice 4.5lb walleye biggest I've caught in this lake, ice is deteriorating.

Great day of fishing yesterday. Ice was beginning to deteriorate around the dock at the end of the day. New snowfall is insulating the ice and making it slushy. Personally, I would be careful driving on now as it surprised me how quickly it deteriorated. I would probably walk or quad/snowmobile.

Fished the humps caught 18 pike, sturgeon has been great this year. Where can I fish for perch? Cosy cove?

Great thank you for letting me know I appreciate it.

I've was two feet on Sunday , had the one ton on it

Hows the ICE? Looking to go out Friday to Youngs Pt.....any help would be appreciated especially condition of the ice around the dock.

Saw a nice Perch on the camera at Young's...couldn't get him to bite though.

Fished for two days on the weekend. Very slow. 20 fish caught. 17 Jack, (0 over 4lbs) 3 Walleye. Nice Walleye though. Couple 3lb fish. Nothing near Sandy, caught all our fish over by Youngs Point. Ice still over 20" thick. No Perch or Ling seen either. If you know a good Perch spot, let us know!

Ice Report: 26 in
clear ice still in good condition

Usually minnows are good

What is the best bait for this lake? Dead bait fish?

slower day today, until 4-5 pm then it really took off, 20 pike 1 big lingcod:)

9 pike 2 walley in 4 hrs youngs point

caught 12 jack 1 walley, action all day, ice is thick over 2 feet, great day%uD83C%uDFA3

Caught 4 pike, couple small couple keepers. 22" of ice off youngs point

Going out today I'll let you slayers know how thick the ice is -^_^-

Anyone been out lately just wondering if the ice is still good enough to drive a truck on?

Chartreuse and pink jig heads with a small minnow right off the bottom! I found chartreuse hit better. Saw a guy land a nice 4lb walleye we caught mostly small ones around the island and point at youngs. Inches from bottom tight lines to all!!

Good to hear Chip...lots of small walleye this year. We have caught a few in the 48-52cm range, but lots of smaller ones. Haven't hit it like that yet, but maybe this weekend. We have been fishing at the islands mostly, but must move around.

Fishing was great hit a few jacks from around 8:00am to 11:00am then after a quick lunch moved spots and couldn't keep them off over 30 fish in total 20 walley at least awesome!!!!!

Caught the burbot on a black on yellow 5 of diamonds and minnow.

After leaving Snipe on Friday the 29th we stopped by at Youngs Point for a late afternoon fish on our way home, my daughter caught a walleye right away and we caught 8 or so Jacks in 12 to 8 ft of water. All in all had a great day of fishing heading to sturgeon this afternoon!!

What did the burbot bite on? Never caught one but heard they are great eating, 🍻

Fishing the islands (as we call them) on the 27th. and today. much better fishing on the 27th. 4 med. jack one large jack one burbot. Released them all. 22 inches of ice very easy to get around.

anyone ever catch keeper size pike here? I always seem to catch the same size all around 50 cm.

Anyone been out fishing for burbot latley? Is so what have they been hitting?

We fished over by the church- 3 jacks and 5 walleyes - in 8 feet of water - they stared biting around 4pm pink and silver jigheads with a minnow worked for us - almost 2 feet of ice

Ice Report: 18 in
2km off of youngs point, fishing the humps. Approx 18" deep.

Last weekend 14-16" of ice. I would guess 16-18" now. Lots were driving on last weekend. We went out to the island and there was just as much ice out there.

How thick is the ice is anyone driving on it?

Been slow. Lots of Jacks. Any tips on Burbot? Seen a big Whitefish off the Dock in about 4' of water at youngs. Tips on perch? Not looking for honey holes just looking for tips. Thanks!

if yer looking for perch?? off of youngs point head north about 11 o'clock stay 10ft of the weed bed and use shrimp they nailed it caught my limited

The fishing was very slow on Sturgeon just off youngs. A few guys caught I however never did.

Chip how was the fishing, have yet to read your input

Well I'm lost unless i actually lost my mind

Sounds like a challenge!! Us two vs Bucks and Farmer! Derby time maybe haha?

Bucks man have you lost your mind?

I'm not on here to poach on people's spots or secrets lol,but sure if you need some help. I have not been on the ice yet but I will be checking it out today. I'm sure we will catch walleye and pike just wish I could get into a sweet honey hole for perch!

Chip, see that you're asking for advice on sturgeon lake and snipe lake, maybe provide some of your own advice? No?

Can anyone tell me where a good spot on the lake for perch is?

Ice Report: 10 in
Ice was 10"-11" out from youngs point boat launch and in the narrows.

Ice Report: 9 in
100 yards off boat launch youngs point

Ice Report: 8 in
Just off young's point out 300m

ice is about 8-12 inches .

Hey guys and gals any news on ice conditions

just wondering if anybody has been out to the lake yet i'm guessing the ice is only a few inches thick by now. I have the ice fishing bug

I caught a carp today anyone else heard of those guys being in there?

We were catching walleye off Youngs point at 22 feet depth- pink jigheads with a purple single tail and a minnow. 18 walleye and 3 jacks - Love my boat beats fishing off the dock- haha

I use to fish this lake 3-4 times a week about 6 years ago, 75-100 fish a night was a pretty standard, every fish went back! I went back with the family hoping for the same experience.... I was definetly disappointed. Fishing was brutally slow and the fish were tiny. Landed 5 Walleye all around 1lb and a tiny hammer handle. Hope it was just this trip and not a accurate representation of how the lake is now...

73 last night, 8 were pike, pink was the color of choice

65 fish between two of us, 8 were pike, great night last night

We were catching Jacks from the dock at Youngs Point- Walleye started to bite around 9:30 pm- Yellow jigs worked

got a pike at 51/2 feet deep in the narrows

how are the fish flies this year

Hit the lake on the 30th. Weather sucked but caught 3 walleye. 2 small ones and 1 53cm 2lb 11oz. Nice fish for this lake

Went down on the boat yesterday, caught about 35 fish in 4 hours between the 3 of us. 7 nice walleye, almost 30 jack.

only ice yesterday was onshore by the mission, jack were biting hard trolling over in the cozy cove area

Put the boat in yesterday. Still some ice left on the east shore and the far end of the narrows. But no problem cruising around. Fished for a bit and got 2 pike in the narrows. But mostly just out for a test run.

Couple days and the ice will be gone!!

Does anyone know if ice is off the lake

Was there yesterday, still lots of ice, starting to break up in the middle now. Hopefully not too much longer.

Last checked it on the 3rd. Was still completely froze over with a little open water by the shore in the narrows. been really sunny and windy since though...

Hows the ice breaking up? Any open water yet??

Was out last Friday. Caught 5 Jack 300 meters straight out from Youngs. Largest was 63cm. Ice about 22".

We were off the point by the church yesterday-lots of holes already drilled. Caught 4 walleye -1 jack / in 10-12 feet of water - using chrome tipped jigs with a minnow. and silver rattling shad Seemed to start biting around 4 oclock

Yes it is drove trucks right out. No top water to be seen

Westerson, I was wondering if the ice thickness was 20" at the humps as well? It has been a little thinner out there all year, but thinking it should be thicker now.

Out on Feb 15 at Young's Point. Caught 7 pike and 1 walleye. largest pike was 63cm and the walleye was 52cm. Walleye was out in about 20' of water. 18" of ice where I drilled. Very easy to get around the lake.

Couple walleye at humps. 8lb pike at sandy bay

Ice Report: 20 in

Didn't catch anything not even a nibble at youngs point

Ice is about 15 inches at Youngs point. Lots of flood water on the ice. Nice day to be out but only three medium size pike all day. They seem to be taking hooks that have lots of movement. Would not touch tip ups.

Ice Report: 18 in
Aproximate 18" - just of Youngs point.

There's about a foot of snow and flood water in places, flood water in places is about a foot and others very little,

iFish Guest, were there people driving on and if so, how tough was it? I'm hoping the snow has dropped whith the warming. What area of the lake were you at - youngs?

Ice Report: 24 in
lots of water on ice under snow in places

I was out on the lake today and Walleye-guy I see what you mean...was only 14" of ice and tons of snow on top. I drive a lifted F350 and I was up to the running boards. Lots of people getting stuck (including me) but everyone got out. It looks like we might be looking at using the sled & skimmer. Darn, I much prefer driving on. Fishing was really slow on youngs point, caught a couple of walleye that were under size by a little, and a couple of small to average pike. Fish all looked healthy. Might take the snowblower next time :)

Does anybody know its good for long cod (burbot) in this lake? And what to use for bait?

When I measured I was fishing in 22 fow maybe ice is a bit thinner there didn't measure close to shore

That seems odd...was there on New Years Eve and there was 21" of ice at young's. The islands were only 8" with some flood water. It's been cold as hell since then!

Wow not much traffic out here on the lake..... what about on the north side of the lake is there some better spots???????

I was out today and measured ice thickness at youngs point and where I measured was 13" and tried in a couple places was the same. There's a bit of flood water in places

Hey everyone... just wondering where to go on this lake....... for perch...... walleye?

Hey ifishforfun, what were you feeding mostly pike were there any walleye or perch?

Went out for 6 hrs today. Off of youngs point. Drove out. 21 inches of ice. Caught 2 jack. Had a couple other bites.

16" of ice east of the weed bed in the mouth of the narrows. Fed them minnows all day

Flood water on 8" of ice out by under water islands. Fishing is good but don't take ur truck.

12 inches of ice off the church point- 2 good bites in 10 foot water mark, we'll get them this saturday

6" of good ice under alot of snow tough walking out with a sled full of gear fishing was no good where i was the cold front must have pushed them out deep . I went straight out from youngs point in about 10' of water .

Heading out saturday will have a report up when i get home .

Has anyone been ice fishing yet?

Ice Report: 6 in

is the algae bad out there

Find a depth of 25 feet off youngs point, you won't catch them as often as in the winter but still get them! Plus you might even get some of those bigger walleye fishing at night!

Thanks u schneidy anywhere on the lake or is there a certain spot u prefer?

If you want burbot in the summer time you have to jig a glow in the dark spoon with a minnow when then sun goes down! 1am is prime time!

How's the fishing out there at the narrows anyone catch any burbot offshore or anything??

Try deep water with bait sitting on the bottom, never fished them but heard that's where they are

Anyone catch burbot yet,if so where and hope

Has anyone jigged for burbot here? And if so how is the best way to catch these things!!

Best place is Young's Point and Williamson. I always use Young's Point...all paved and a nice drop into the water. They should be getting the peer in this week some time.

Where is the best place to launch a boat? Itching to try mine out going to the lake wensday forvthe first time. Thanks

I was out in the eagle Bay Area yesterday afternoon, and caught a couple pike off the dock. Really beautiful out there right now

Thanks for the info Rocky71! Heading out to test the boat on Sunday. I bet Young's Point boat launch is clear too.

Was out looking at Williamson today,still ice out towards the middle but it looks pretty thin,the narrows is ice free,boat launch was ice free as well

Kicked of the boat into sturgeon today. Can't at the docks but pulled into where the over flow parking is and backed into the day camping and there is about 75 yards from shore to ice and we could boat all the way to narrows. Ice will be gone by Friday. Got my self a 29 inch pike

Lake is still covered with ice.

Anyone no if the ice is of sturgeon?

Anyone have a ice report for sturgeon? Is it close to off? Another week or so?

I dont think u b driving on -shore ice startin to deteriorate -so need a quad to get on

Has anyone been out through the week? I was out on Saturday and still 2 feet of ice, but curious what this weather is doing to the ice? Hoping to drive on on Saturday!

Had a great last day out! Fished the SE part of the lake and had luck with lots of hammer handles and small Wally's . It was an "odd" bite to say the least as they hit pretty much everything we threw at them but only once, haha. Gotta love Sturgeon

Water on the east side by the mission is becoming very brown, visibility is very poor after about 7ft.

How's the ice looking and anyone been catching any burbot ??? If so where?

Went out Saturday not a whole lot of luck anywhere on the east side of the lake. Lots of ice still. Bottomed out the augers so We drove our trucks out there. Going to try youngs point next Saturday.

Thanks Rhyno, I will give it a go, you can usually get on the ice with a quad at the pump house.

Ice Report: 20 in
North side of lake, Ice is really slippery need traction aids. Some we're taking trucks on ice.

Hear the place to go for perch in the winter is off the mission, across to the very east end if the lake. Went there first and there was road down but not right together lake. Someone drive across and got stuck near the shire where the access usually is

Has anyone been targeting perch around youngs point, all I can find is walleye and pike, mostly in 8ft. Of water amongst the weeds.

I was wondering where on the lake do you go for burbot,ive never caught one and wanna try it

Anyone out today? Wondering on how thick the ice is now! How was the fishing?

And walleys

What kinda bait are people using for white fish and perch

Hey henchman where were u fishing? I'm on the ice right now at sturgeon and only catching small pike

14 walleys in 3 hrs.

How was fishing over the long weakend

Ice is 22-24" now...no problem driving on at young's. Slow fishing at young's point today.

Ice is solid through and about 18-22" thick out by youngs point, only fished half hour with no luck

How's the fishing ? Any luck with burbot or walleye?

Ice Report: 21 in
Ice was solid all the way through now. Fishing really slow though

Has anyone been out this past week? Just wondering if the walley are biting anywhere?

There is cell service...have fun!

Is there cell service out by youngs point, I'm on call but I would like to go.

That's a nice one! We will see you out there on Saturday maybe.

No problem ken yeah lots of small pike this year but I did manage to get one justshy of 15 lbs in the narrows midDecember which was pretty sweet .

Sounds really good, there were a few at young's on Saturday - didn't seem to be catching much. I used to fish on the east side by the creek, but that is where all the snow blows to. Not sure what it would be like over there. Thanks for responding!

Youngs point 15' of water ken I hope thier there on saturday I will be out there again I will be in the eskimo tent come say hi I'm the big tall guy in brown coveralls .

I was out Saturday and got 9 pike over at the island, all under the size limit though. Would love to find the walleye! Guest, you found them on Thursday, any chance you would share your spot? They move around all year, but would be nice to find me next Saturday! Thanks, Ken

Slayed the walleye on Thursday night couldn't keep them off from 4:30 until dark

Ice Report: 11 in
Best to stay off, sunk the front end of our truck up to the bumper close to shore

Ice is not bad with the sled but don't drive on. Two trucks dropped wheels through today.

Maybe next time hey, thanks for the response. Hope to get out next weekend Ken

Yes I made it out on the 15th went to the narrows had no luck not even one bite sadly but the ice is really thick though

Hey Hendy, did you make it out on he 15 th? Wondering how you made out?

Guys I need feedback I'm heading out tomrrow for burbot but I've never fished them there before if anyonehas any information on them let me no pls

Is there much surface water on the lake?

Anybody go fishing lately catch any burbot/ling cod?

Ice is thick enough for sleds, people were out there on the 12th. Was out there at the mouth of the narrows, not a bite.

Is the ice thick enough to bring a snowmobile out there?

I've caught them in the narrows and I've seen a couple pulled out at youngs point

Thanks Ifish and yea that's what I was thinking I'm just trying to gather some more information before I got out on the 15th to target them

Hey Hendy I've only caught a few usually in 10'-15' of water using a tip up for walleye with a jig and minnow close to the bottom or on a smelt and treble set up for pike on a tip up but I'm not targeting them so I dont know . Best bet would be after the 15th of this month when the lake is open 24 hrs again I would fish at night for them .

Was wondering if anyone knows the best place to catch burbot here at sturgeon lake? If so what is the best thing to use

Ice Report: 12 in
Lots of floodwater By Williamson

Ice Report: 13 in
a lot of flood water ice is in bad shape dont drive out I found spots were I sunk up to my knees in slush

Hit youngs point yesterday with a friend of mine we fished from 25' to 12' on the point lots of small pike all day then managed to hook into 3 decent size eye's in 15' of water they started biting at about 4:00 till dark

Where do you find the perch and walleye in the winter ? Youngs point any good ? Catch them in the narrows sometimes but not as many as I would like .

Sounds like a good day out. Are there any shacks out there

Hey guys just hit the narrows yesterday the ice sucks its plenty thick for walking on but there is a lot of flood water in spots and were its frozen you get 2" of ice 6" of water then about 10 " of ice again wish I had a sled cause we won't be driving out anytime soon. Anyway fished from sun up till sun down it was cold so I just picked a spot and set up camp didn't move around at all and I was fishing about 8' of water unfortunately no perch or walley but more northerns than you could shake a stick at probably caught around 40 all small though nothing over 3.5 pounds but a lot of fun to catch and I got a say I picked up a flasher / sonar and wow what a difference that made cant believe I didn't buy one sooner that thing helped me catch a lot of fish lol

I have seen some pretty good size whitefish washed up on shore in the summer time. Anyone know where I should punch a hole to find these guys in the winter?

Ice Report: 5 in
Went out to Youngs point. Surface 1 inch, 6 inches of slush, and maybe 5 inches of Hard ice on the water. No tracks on the lake. Bad conditions for driving.

Ice Report: 6 in

Any one know where a good spot is to place a ice fishing house on this lake? Is there normally any other shacks on this lake?

Ice report please if anyone has been out yet .

Any ice on the lake yet?

Nothing but keepers

14ft all walleye over 43 cm
View on Map

Well it was a struggle to find a legal sized fish this weekend! Until Sunday we stumbled on a big 18 ft hole surrounded by 10 feet all around! We pulled out 13 keepers in a row! We kept one for dinner. For the ones that were out there we were the couple in the rubber dingy lol.

I was just wondering how bad the lake gets when it's windy? I have never been there before and I'm heading up there for the long weekend, But I only have a kayak. Is there some calmer water around youngs point that hold some fish?

Wondering if anyone has been on the lake lately. What are the waterconditions like?

Nothing but small fish on the lake . I advise you don't waste your time unless you really want to

Anybody been on the lake recently? How thick is the ice? What boat launch did you access the lake from?

Fished a few hours this afternoon caught a pike and walleye. Ice is around 6 inches with a couple feet of snow.

How thick is the ice on the lake?

Fished Sturgoen on Sunday with my son and a friend of his ! Had a great day ! Caught quite a few walleye and went home with some nice size keepers ! The largest was 49 1/2 cm ! Nice table fair ! Fall fish'n.... What can I say !!

I was back at Sturgoen on Sunday to complete my engine breakin ! We decided to stop and do some fishing and the water temp has dropped 6-8 degrees F since last Sunday ! Fishing was good ! My son landed an 86cm pike and we managed to catch several walleye over 44cm ! Fun day to say the least !

As I agree that we should be reporting fishing violations to help sustain our fish populations it makes me frustrated that the government still allows commercial fishing on these lakes ! Poor management also plays a major role on the vitality of our diminishing populations ! If it doesn't change soon I'm afraid that we're going to lose the precious privilege of angling on some of these busy lakes !

Red rubber dingy did you do any thing about the poaching you saw?? Call it in??If you did glad to hear and good on you!! If not your just as bad as the poachers and just as responsible for the poor fish populations ,zero limits & undersized fish. It's disgusting too hear stories like yours. It's our job to try and possibly save the fishery in this province for our children.

Went out sat & sun to break in new motor ! Stopped to fish briefly and caught a few fish ! Nice keeper walleye but let them go ! More worried about putting time on my engine ! Will be back when the water temp starts to drop though !!

Mostly small just legal fish still lots of fun, seen a bunch of people keeping undersized and way more than possession limit(very sad to see)

How is the fishing at young's point

Lake is a little green but the narrows are super nice and great fishing. Catch lots of walleye and perch.

Good walleye spot. Anchor 10 to 14 feet. Cast jigs and drag along bottom. Or throw jig head over with worm or leach just of bottom.

There isn't much for size, more by fluke than anything else, you'll get some keepers but the big ones are few and far. Heavily fished lake.

Where do you find the big walleye ,got some small ones.

Great walleye fishing on Sunday in the narrows. White jigs with white grubs

Went out for a drive to the lake yesterday. Water is only open about 3 feet from shore. Ice is about 5 inches thick still. Was one guy out from youngs point ice fishing. Its gonna be a while yet!!

Is the lake good to go for boats yet?

Anyone have an update on ice/lake. How long till boats are good to go

How is the ice?

Great afternoon out fishing, caught 15 pike and 1 smaller walleye. Lite takes on the lures need to have a sharp eye

Was out there other day past youngs. About 8 feet water didn see a fish!!

Wasvout on feb 4 off youngs point, 14 ft water, no a bite all day, only saw one fish on the cam all day. Was beautiful out so ur was all worth it! Lots of ice!

Hey brown_fisherman, i believe there still getting on at the boat launch at sandy bay. You can get there by turning off the hwy at the reserve store and following the road through the reserve until you see the sandy bay sign. Head north for about 15 mins and you'll find it!!!

Hows the fishing out there so far this winter ????

Hows everyone getting to the east side of the lake with their vehicles. Huge ice berm running north to south blocking all access points. Seen trucks out there on the far side of the berm, just dont know how they got there.

Went late in the afternoon caught lots of small walleye and a couple big ones. Ice is ok getting soft but a good 14 inches.

Fishing very slow. Out on the lake at youngs point ice is foot thick but very soft. To the right of the boat launch there is a four inch wide crack in the ice that spans two hundred yard from shore out wards With open water. Ice is only three inches thick at the opening. Don't recommend driving on the ice

Fishing was extremely slow, a few white fish caught. Ice was around 13-15 inches. People were driving 1/2 ton out at youngs point. We just walked out 100 or so yards

Caught some walleye in the summer

Anyone been out yet ?? What are ice conditions like ?? How is fishing ?? Any perch caught ??

Clearing in a corner, near an old dock. Come in quietly, use anything shiny but a Bladed spinnerbait works best.

Never a lake with bug walleye as it is heavily fished but not to worry that lake as far as population is concerned is very well managed if nit one if the best managed waterbodies in the privince

Spent the last 5 days at the lake. Walleye were active most of the day. Mostly just legal size (45 to 51 cc). Kind of worried that the small fish were not plentiful. Couple pike a day biggest was 106 cc. No perch. 16 to 18 feet of water. Mission was the hottest spot, it was also the greenest part of the lake. Beef heart cut in leech size strips worked the best. Have fun but let'em go so they can grow.

Good walleye action yesterday jig tipped with a worm. Deep 17-22 ft lots of action

I have caught 2 perch this year, one was 1/2 lb other was 1lb on leeches massive I tell ya :-) just to the right off of youngs point boat launch

How is the lake and the fishing after all the rain?

Has anyone had any luck with Perch in the summer ?? What part of the lake ??? Heard stories that there are big ones in here ?? But have never caught any or seen anyone else catch any in the last 7 years I have fished here??? Walleye and Pike have been good!! Will give it a try for the next week !! If the rain ever quits ???

Spent the last week out at youngs point, camp sites are great, water is pretty clean, great swimming, fishing is very poor, fished all around youngs and from williamson to the cabins, caught 1 44cm walleye the rest were from 30 to 42cms, jack were only about 2lbs, probably 40 - 50 boats out with same luck

Hows the walleye, legal size?

Went out may 31 caught 15 fish. 10 walleye and 5 jack.

For the people saying it's slow you need to change your lures. Double white tail jig and 5 of diamonds spoon. Couldent keep them off our line. Just pike and walleye.

Out on 24th. 2 nice jacks & 3 walleye in 4 hours.

Fished all day close to young's point boat launch with little action.Finally caught a small jack after trolling close to secondary dock. Otherwise it was a no action day.

Docks are in at youngs. Fishing has been slow.

Any one know if the docks are in at youngs ?

Out yesterday ice has been offfor a day at most, caught one little walleye and one jack

Went out on the 8th to see, still lots of ice but breaking up fast

Anybody know if the ice is off the lake yet

Anybody bin fishing lately? Hows the ice?

How's the ice conditions and the fishing?

The ice fishing will pick up soon, the cold weather makes them less active, I'd wait till it warms up a bit next weekend

Try the east end of the lake

Ice fished there last weekend and going again Saturday, having trouble finding fish from Youngs Point. Any advice?

Was out Saturday afternoon, Fishin fairly slow still, 6 pike, none legal, 1 20" walleye.

Do any of you know if there is road access to goose lake near sturgeon, or can sat what the accessibility is and what the fishing us like??

Great lake, fishing is Average to Great perch are hard to catch but big, walleye and pike plentiful and size is coming back. Fish there every year never caught a diseased or tumor ridden fish!?!?

Hilarious bigjay, i have fished there my whole life and the fishing is always good not to big but have never seen nor caught one fish with sores and toulouse over the last 25 years, and it's not uncommon to catch 100 walleye in a day, many not legal yes, but always manage a good feed, with the next best option being snipe I would take sturgeon anyway over that muddy slogh shark ridden swamp

Not a lake to fish, i have fished this lake my whole life and have watched it turn into a diseased swamp. The pike are small, some with sores around the mouth. The walleye are not even legal size and full of tumors. And i haven't seen a perch in three years. Don't believe what people tell you, the fishing is terrible all year round and the water stinks in the summer. The campsites are nice though! Find another lake to fish!!!!!

Best walleye lake in valleyveiw area, good pike and perch fishing as well. Fish are not very large but plentiful. Excellent camp sites and facilities, great family camping spot.
