The boat launch is closed, but you can still launch on the east side of it. Keep in mind the bottom is soft and you have to back in a ways if you have a larger boat. Its shores like this that makes me glad to have a small light aluminum boat lol. Oh btw you can easily lose a water shoe the that mucky soft bottom, I'm speaking from experience 8^)

Got 2 small pike in first hour by the weeds just west of boat launch. Moved to the west end of the lake to explore. No bites. 20 inch of ice, hard to drill with hand auger.

Never been on this lake anyone know what the fishing is like. Hows the perch??

16-17 inches of ice. Lots of vehicles out but remember to take it slow folks.

No, I've been meaning to but haven't had the chance. I intend to go out Saturday, I'll throw an ice report on if I do.

Anyone been out recently?

It was open this morning

Does anyone know if the campground entrance is still closed? Thanks

Right on. Thank you.

Ice Report: 8 in
8"now of good ice.

Go past the campground a little ways and there is another access. It looks like a driveway to a couple properties so of course be respectful and do t block access to the property.

Hey. How do you gain access to the lake for ice fishing? The campground appears to be gated and closed? Thanks

I've never seen burbot here, excited to know they still exist here. Just a few pike today.

Nov 26 - about 6 inches of ice towards the shore. Second weekend in a row, saw 3 butbot no bites last weekend, didn't see a thing this weekend.

Ice Report: 5 in
5 1/2 to 6" of blue ice

Summary of lake reports....good fishing jacks but all small....some blue green alge....C&R walleye only....perch there but no reports on catching....boat launch but not the best....and it seems that there has been poaching activity. So this summarizes most lakes in alberta! Sigh!

Along weed bed off shore 30 yards

Thought we give battle a try since we were skunked at Twin lakes yesterday. We didn't do too bad. Between my wife and I we caught and released close to 20 pike. 3 or 4 looked big enough to be keepers, But we didn't measure them because we try to release them as soon as possible. We also noticed the algae started to bloom forming Blue algae so be careful if you have pets along don't let them drink the water. or get any of it on yourself.

Good name for the lake because it can be a battle to launch your boat lol. Other then that the pike seem to be biting we were out on Sunday and caught 7 between two of us and had lots of hits. Just troll close to the weeds and you'll find them we were just west of the boat launch. Saw some people fishing a little deeper and were into the walleye. Not sure if you can keep them. Btw we are catch and release so we didn't weight or measure any of them but I would guess all throw backs.

Just got on days off people stil driving on the ice thanks for th help

2 pike 20-24.5" 18' water. 30" ice

How is the ice now (Feb 20, 2017). Can you fish without a boat?

Been here twice now this month , not bad pike fishing but not much on my end other than that, came in at camp ground and played the drop off, landed 2 lost 4 on the tip up using full minnows in 8-14 feet of water in 2 hours from 8 am until 10 am . Lost one walleye and seen no perch or white fish . It's a nice active lake but it's busy too

There was an update to the story so it came up again yak. Stop putting people down to raise yourself up. No wonder your wife left you.

It was June of 2015 the 20 were fined, misinformed people trying to look smart....lmao

Last week 20 fish traffickers were fined $150,000 Wow,and today I go there and the first thing I see is a fish net. Our government has to suck back & reload. I cannot keep a walleye from this lake Yet the natives can put nets in and keep what ever species of fish the net catches. These privileges have to be taken away from them. It's not fair to the anglers. not fair to the lake,

It's going to be slow for a while at this lake because of poachers. Read this: http://edmontonjournal.com/news/more-than-20-fish-traffickers-fined-150000-in-total-in-battle-lake-bust

Went out yesterday and caught eight pike and one big fat walleye. First time fishing this lake, lots of good spots to land pike all around, tons of good drop offs shy of the lily pad patches. I got hammered by the wind later in the afternoon, but can't really blame the lake for that.

Has anyone been out on this lake yet? What's it like?

Anyone ever find perch in this lake?

Why ? You can't fish it anyways

How is the ice on Battle lake? Can you put a boat in?

Pike plentiful; walleye rare. Last year I only hooked one. Any idea of the walleye population in this lake?
