March 27. North end of lake. 22 inches of ice. Caught one whitefish. Couple of bites. Numerous fish on the fishfinder but couldn’t get them to take. Still, nice day.

15 inches of ice. Couple bits, saw some on the sonar. No hook up. :(

Chimbamex let me know how thick the ice is would like to go out tomorrow with my daughter thanks

Heading there today again, even that we didn't had any bite 2 weeks ago. We try 3 different Gulps, corn, cheese

Can we drive a truck and small trailer on Chain Lakes to spend the night?

That's only half the problem with chain the other half is due to the warm weather all the freshwater shrimp have hatched early and the trout are feeding on them so even the few large ones that are left are full and wont bite a lure

The reason for slow fishing this winter is a result of the 54000 fish added in October were only 5.1 cm or 2 inch fish!! most of the earlier ones were +/- 10 cm and only 3500 stocked in mid summer were 20 cm. 5 cm fish don't bit on lures etc!! See the stocking report issues Oct 21 2019.

Was out there on Jan 25th. not a single hit. Go figure! Ice thickness exceeds 20"

Does anybody know how thick the ice is now?

So THAT'S why I can't catch any walleyes. I've been using a rod instead of a drift net.

This lake has been fished out. Must be the Alberta Government cut backs. No restocking??

What is going on at Chain Lakes? Zero fish last 3 times out.

Anyone been out lately gonna be cold prob be a good time to go no one will be out hahahahha

Went out for 5.5 hours finished the day with 7 suckers caught on the south side by the damm

Ice Report: 12 in

Ice Report: 13 in
By boat launch

Ice Report: 12 in
50m out from boat launch

The ice was about 11 inches 3 or 4 days ago. Probably needs 3 or 4 more inches. Just a guess

Can someone please update how thick the ice is? Are people driving on the lake yet?

Was out on Tue 24 Dec. out from west boat launch caught 4 good sized rainbows. Catch and release. Good sign that the fish are getting hungry again. Last hour was quiet though.

Went out for 4 hours today. Ice is 11" straight out from the boat launch with an inch of slush in areas. We caught a nice rainbow within the first couple of minutes but it was very slow after that. A few bites but not landed. There is a lot of snow built up at the boat launch but the parking lot is easily accessible.

Was out today. 5 good inches of ice at south end but there was at least a foot of slush/water on top of the ice. Made for a mess in the tent and walking off. Is this caused by the weight of the snow on the ice? Fishing was slow, 2 small trout and 6 suckers.

Went out yesterday to south end by boat launch... 5-6 inches of solid black ice and about 2-3 inches of crumbly/ brittle ice on top of that!

Grod40. Ice was fine last weekend for walking anywhere

With this past week being cold could anyone going out today please update ice thickness at south end? Would like to head out Sunday with kids but want to ensure it will be safe to walk out.

To many people go here ice fishing and always gotta be beside ya..when there's a huge lake to go

They stocked 50 thou in Sep. Gotta be fish in there, though nothing on my sonar.

8-9 inches at North end off the dam.

i noticed they stocked it in sept instead of october, I am curious if that means not as many fish left for the ice season. with october stockings i notice icefishing is great dec-jan amd then slows down

Was there Dec.1, 2019. Ice was slushy and wet. Manage to catch one on a wire worm. I saw a couple of fish on my flasher. Not much activity. Starting to doubt that stocking was done.

Been to south and north end not a bite. Anyone having any luck?

Ice is 5-7 inches.

Ice Report: 3 in

Ice Report: 3 in

3 to 5 inch ice at the northend and they are bitting

Ice safe to walk on yet. Anyone visit lately?

2inches of ice from the shore. Still has open water on the very south side of the lake

True, but they are all 5.1 cm. That's barely two inches, won't be any size til the spring.

So?

So, Chain Lakes Resevoir stocked Sep 3rd with 54,000 trout. All we need now is ice.

Evey time I'm out there catch my limit or more release almost all every time theres lots of fish in that water just gotta know what to use

Was out last Sunday September 8th. Caught two about 12 inches on shrimp. There were a couple of other guys there who caught a 3 or 4 on shrimp as well. They are there but sometimes they just stop taking anything.

Was out with my daughter for a few hours today. We never caught any fish, and neither did the other 10 folks we saw. I think it needs another stocking, none since May/June according to the reports...

Any fishing reports for July so far?

Got out for an hour Saturday with my daughter shore fishing and we caught a nice 13%u201D rainbow We caught the only one we saw in the hour. About 30 other people on the shore fishing. People next to our campsite caught one from their boat too.

hey guys, heading down for Fathers day, hows it been fishing?
