Anyone been out on the hard water? What’s the ice thickness?

I’m looking for ice conditions or if the lake is still open for boat access and use. We are having a very mild spell at the moment after experiencing a rather cold start to winter in the fall season here in Southern Alberta. I’m trying to save my self a scouting mission too Forty Mile Reservoir if anyone should of been there of late. Thanks

was at 40 mile yesterday.. lots of ice... a good 10 inches! good day of fishing for the family.

Can anyone update ice conditions on this lake?

I when to check it out Dec14 there was around 12 to 22 cm of ice thanks to the cold days we been having. I got a 9pound 71cm walleye beautiful female wish I released, fish like that are hard to find keep it on mind bigger the fish the more eggs they can spawn. Don’t kill those trophy fish please.

No ice yet I drove to the lake 12days ago and the lake was completely open water few chunks of ice by the shores.

No ice yet

hows the ice thickness fellas?

8-10” of ice thickness about 20-30 feet off shore. Ice shelves at the south east dam

Ice is 6" near the west end of the dam

Just looking for info. How thick is the ice? What part of the lake is offering the best fishing and what's being caught?

Can anyone provide me with information on where to find find on this lake? I've never been there before. Thanks

Lots of popping but nice solid ice in the bay

Foothills man.... ice was around 18" when I was out early January caught a few jack stayed right around boat launch there is about a 30ft drop off there so the ability to land all species is in your favour

hey guys, does anyone have an ice thickness update. is this a safe lake to drive a truck around across it and up and down it, or are there a lot of Springs, thin ive areas, and ice heaves to be concerned with? thx a tonne and good fishing!
