we were there yesterday and did not catch 4 hours

Watch where you walk. I saw a guy taking a dump by the walking trail on the south side of the lake.

https://mywildalberta.ca/fishing/fish-stocking/documents/AlbertaFishStockingReport-May18-2018.pdf 6380 stocked 14 May 18 Stopped by Sunday for a quick scout. Looked like Walmart parking lot.

Stock report says no fish stocked for 2018. I agree with BigFish, if you bring it down the hill take it with you back up the hill. I have a feeling that people on this site are not the ones leaving the mess. Leduc was stocked with 2400 this year.

Got two lost two very windy today i don't know how people can go to a lake and leave there garbage just laying there when they go lazy people or they just don't care maybe they shouldn't go to the lake at all

Anyone have any word on ice? Looking to go if ice is off.

Caught any fish today? how about the ice condition. Is it ok for walking around?

Are you allowed to use a gas powered auger here?

Big walleye

also i fish shallow from 6ft to 12ft hope you get some ,

Thanks "fishing" I'll give it a shot. I've only been here a couple times. Half way is the farthest I went.

Very slow today, caught a single 2lb rainbow after 5hrs on lime green powerbait 1' from bottom in abt 12' of water.

401banshee. i walk all the way to other end and work my way back , small jigs and small bait works good , its recently snowed but look for tent mark on the far end thats where i had all luck

Anythingfishing. I have yet to pull a fish out of there. I tried lots of holes is there is certain depth or side you fish?

well first time ice fishing at this lake, was a "fun" walk in with the sleds, lots of big ones , kept 2 for lunch , powerbait to start then when it got slow i threw on some maggots and it was no longer slow

Green lime or rainbow sparkle trout PBS work for me!

What kind of power bait

Decent afternoon yesterday.... caught 4 in 3.5 hrs. Kept 2 for frying pan. Power bait is the ticket! Cheers.

Ice 23"

Ice is now 19 ". Clean and clear, no fish to be found on the west side. Heck of a haul in with a sled for no fish.

Thanks for the ice update! Need more than 2 crayfish to make a meal. Lol

Ice is 8" no fish around. Seen 2 crawfish on the bottom.

Anyone checked how much ice yet?

Fished in the float tube for 3 hours, had 6 bites. Not much rising, the lake was dead tonight. The biggest fish I saw rise was 10". To say it was slow was an understatement. I fished a sink tip, tried probably 15 different types. Nothing seemed to work. They were rising, taking a caddis like fly size about 28. But with little rising, I didn't bother trying to dry fly. Shore anglers weren't doing any better.

Belly boats and fly rods today. Started early and fished whole morning. Lots of fish, nothing bigger than 14" though. But very good action. Fish were taking to black leech type flies or green dragon flies. A good day of fishing.

Great fishing next to the weed bed.

Best day I have ever had here. Caught 8, lost 4 with a bunch of small hits that didn't hook.
