Still bitting pretty good yes. And no issues driving all over the lake. With trucks.

How about the ice condition,still a lot of truck run on the lake. Does recent warmer weather thins the ice layer?

Have you folks caught anything recently? Plan to head out to fishing this weekend.

Yes been all over the lake in a truck no issues

who can tell me if the ice condition is still allowed truck driving on the lake

Are there any whitefish in this lake

Thanks for the updates, SBisson1. Where did you fish yesterday? Planning to head out tomorrow!

Went out yesterday and the ice is 3ft thick. Almost needed an extension for the auger. Lots of action all day long. Didn't see or catch any pike, only burbot.

Wondering what the ice is like and if people are driving on with trucks

@Lester D, I don't see any jack just yet for the last visits! Burbs are moving in! We used minnow and they works best!

Are there any jacks in this lake??

fish are moving in. Should be an awesome March.

What time works best and where do u set up for bigger one caught little guys but nothing worth keeping any tips or hints will help please

Out family day weekend. 20 iced. Glow head jig with minnow. Best at dusk then into night.

Was there on Saturday. No action for me at all. Seen being around catching nice burbots. Ice is plenty thick near boat launch!

A whole case of empty beer cans scattered on the ice. A couple of dead burbot laying on the ice. Not many biting to top it off. Sad.

Fishing at 40', smelts and a fair sized jig or spoon, bigger, and stinky the better, bounce it off the bottom ans they'll go nuts

2 burbot in 1 hr, descent size, keepers for sure, under 15 people on lake, beautiful day

Ice is solid and easy drilling

Yes they are bitting. Seems nobody wants to admit it. Jigs tipped with minnows bouncing it off the bottom in 15 feet of water.

Any luck out there?? I'm heading out tomorrow. What's the best bait? Has anyone been out here lately? Thanks for any info

Are the burbot bitting yet? Thanks:)

ralphbud. provincial boat launch is easy access. head straight onto ice about 100/120 feet out. 20/30 fow.

Was planning on headed out to try for some burbs. Never been hear before, anyone suggest at good area or even depth? Thanks for your help

Look at the stocking in the 80's. They even tried stocking lake trout in this lake!! Tried many times and Caught some large pike in the summer above 10 lbs. No luck in the winter except for Burbot. Very high saline content in this lake which makes it hard for the fish to survive.

Ice is 16-20". Access is solid. Fish were on the bite. Jigging with chartreuse and a minnow 6" off bottom was a hit. 2 of us limited out. Females haven't spawned yet.

Wondering ice thickness n how us the burbot fishing

How's the ice conditions ?

Anyone out this weekend? Ice holding up still?

Did a truck break through this weekend??

Burbot/ling cod are still biting. The ice is 18" on the north west corner.

Ice Report: 2 ft
I was drilling by the south boat launch. Good 2 feet of ice. About 8 inches of top snow too...bring a shovel!!

Also wondering about what kind of bait works? Have been out for a few hours and no bites but someone has caught because there are guts

What part of the lake were you fishing on? I'm wondering if anyone has explored the lake at all, or just fished by the boat launch? I myself have only tried one other spot the farthest east bay! Ton of weeds crazy drop off but no fish!

Was out for 5 hours and caught one burbot. There was one another guy out there who also had one burbot. Soon they should start to move into shallower water.

Where are the burbots and what are you guys using for bait? Thanks

I was drilling about 100' from shore at the south boat launch/park...the ice was a solid 12" thick.

Anyone know ice thickness?

Can any body tell me what the ice conditions are like at Lac Sante? I'm planning on going out this weekend and wondering if it's okay to drive on.

Hey keep it down over there! You mean you caught 3 or 4! Burbot or do you want a 1000 people out there!!!

was out fishing march 9 2014 2 of us managed to land over 100 burbott one was 9 lbs kept our limit best fishing between 11 to 3pm

Hows the fishing?

Sorry Schnidy I only spot I know of or fished is in front of the launch in 24-35 fow. Thanks for posting the report from the test nets, sad to see the pike and walleye are almost non existent. But thankfully the burbot fishing is good.

Here is an interesting study on this lake if you want to know why there is no fish here in the summer time! http://esrd.alberta.ca/fish-wildlife/fisheries-management/fall-walleye-index-netting/index-net-survey-reports/documents/LacSante-FallWalleyeIndexNetting-2011.pdf

What part of the lake were you fishing? I have only found two spots where they bite I would like to find more!

Was out last weekend, got 17 burbs, one 7lb. lots on the cam, most come look then take off.

I didn't make it out here this weekend, the plan was to hit up garner first thing in the morning for perch. Then stop here on the way back for a burb or two but the perch fishing didn't go so well lol.

How was the fishing?

I'm heading out there Sunday I will let ya know!

Anyone know if the burbs are biting yet?

Perch? Where and how? Spent 8 yrs on this lake and never seen a perch. Would love for the kids to caught something during the summer, as they are doubting the fun of fishing here...

Lots of burbot and some jack an there is perch

I see there is not a single comment about summer, is this lake any good in the summer? I heard it goes to 75 feet, so there should be some big ones in there.....what is anyone catching in there?

Ice Report: 12 in
Two hills boat launch 12 but when you drive to the west it goes to 4inches on ice :S

The lake gets to about 90 feet in the deepest part! Maybe a little less cause its been so dry out there the last five years or so! Best bet this time of year is to use a glow in the dark spoon just after the sun goes down! But try over rocks the boat launch is there spawning ground and they don't spawn till feb.

Hey Schnidy, how deep does the lake get? Went out Saturday nigh(brrrrr) about 100 ft off the boat launch. 6" of ice and we were about 35 or 40 ft deep. No bites but at least we tried. First time there. I'm just north of Lafond and new to the area.

You won't see anything by the boat launch till feb! You have to hit the deeper water if you want to find them this early in the season!

Went in front of the boat launch down rr113 didn't see a dam thing where are all the ling?4 inches of ice though

Anybody been out in the last few days? Are the roads plowed after the storm and catfish still biting?

Big guy came out of 30 FOW and the rest 20 FOW! The jack are big if you find one! I have seen 6 in 15 years!

How deep of water are u fishing in? I hear the jack are big out there.

Great ling cod night fishing end of jan start of February

Went out today caught only a couple! One big one tho! 10lb snake. I drove accross from boat launch just before narrows. Looks like I was the only guy to drive accross all year! Zero tracks out there! Get out there and make some tracks for me lol!!

Hey Kevin when you went out did you drive on? How thick was the ice?

Brutally slow. Went out for 8 hrs a week ago, saw a couple pike, couple whites, couple pickerel, nothing on. Today was out for 2-3 hrs, saw zero. Going elsewhere until the bite is happening closer to March...

Sorry I got no info around that area, it's been so dry out there the past few years the fishing really slowed right down! But I'm sure someone on here could put you on fish out there.

Thanks Schnidy, i won't waste my time then. can u suggest somewhere close to mannville. anything but trout

Wouldn't bother going till second week of march. You won't even see a fish there at this time of year!

has anyone been fishing on Lac Sante yet? Thinking of going out this weekend for ice fishing-burbot or pike. Where's the best spot

Thanks for the info, I didn't think I was that bad of a fisherman!

The pike and walleye can't reproduce in that lake. It has something to do with the alkaline levels. So there is not very many left, I have caught 3 pike and 3 walleye in 15 years of trying! The only fishing that can reproduce there are the burbot.

Has anyone had success catching Pike on Lac Sante? Where, When, How?

Went on the 28th really good got 26 Burbot

is there any flood water yet and could some one give me ice conditions for the 17 of march :) and what are u catching burbot on plz.

Burbot are really bitting caught our limit and caught some nice sized ones.

Wheee do you get on the ice ? We're going tomorrow? Also where is a good hotspot?

Are the burbot still hot?? Day or night?? Thanx

Anybody got a hotspot for the lake? Heading out tomorrow morning.

Still great burbut

Good burbot fishing!

Burbout are bitten like crazy
