Good Ice no one driving on but a few guys out fishing

Ya go down to Tillicum beach there's docks there you can fish, or you can go down to edberg dam and fish under the bridge there pretty decent fishing good luck

Just wondering if I guy can do any decent dock/shore fishing? Boat is in for repairs right now and family is dying to get out for a day

Anyone have feedback since opening day? I haven't got out yet, curious how it is as winter was pretty slow

How'a the acces to lake? Is it still ok for driving on with a heavier truck?

32" of ice. Getting close to needing an auger extension. Bite is slow. Very finicky. F&W said it's not just us.... Everyone is having little success

What is the ice thickness like today?

Ice was thick. Caught 8 pike, only one keeper. Great fishing!

The pike are biting now, landed 23 in about 2 hours, in a boat

My buddy made it out for a couple hours. Caught 2. I just had time to put boat in for a test drive. Talked to an old timer at the launch and he got skunked

Anybody hit dried meat on opening day?

Docks are out

Has anyone been by the lake lately? Just wondering if the docks are in yet. Want to take the new boat for a test drive

Never heard of perch or walleye in dried meat,fished here for 30 years. Been a super slow winter,couldn't keep the pike off your hook last summer

Between 4 of us all weekend we landed 3 and had 3 to the hole. Very slow. Tried anywhere from 6 to 14 feet of water. And yes, extremely murky

Was out yesterday, got skunked no surprise to me , 23 inches of ice really murky water couldn't see the bottom of the ice in the hole but all in all still nice to be out there

Have never seen walleye or perch here Rumor has it that someone caught a walleye last year but I've never personally seen any. I've been fishing here for15+ years

Is thier walleye in this lake? And hows the perch fishing? Thinking of heading out in the next couple weekends

How's fishing here

Fished by the bridge on Saturday and pulled out around 50 fish by my estimate, probably quite a bit less because I didn't count. On Monday, only caught one. Must have been the rain that made the fishing so good. The fish were hitting on anything I threw in the water, even an 8 inch long squid that I bought in Hawaii, but only on Saturday.

Went fishing by the bridge and pulled out close to 30 small walleye and jack about 2-3 lbs.. Put them back of course.. Also catching some good size 8-10 lbs.. They are hitting on anything and everything..

This is a little late metalmatt but I was just out there and there is 10 feet of open water all along the shore. Guess we're done for the year

Hey there, just wondering how the ice condition is now with all this warm weather. I wanna take the little ones out tomorrow, so any info would much appreciated. Thanks

well bad day out on Driedmeat lake with clarence we got the LTD stuck then George had to come pull us out with the red Ford we caught 3 pickerels and 2 mariahs then this guys dog came and urenited on my tackle box I said holy smokes that will get you beat up boy he said sorry then wanted to use my augre Clarence was eating pickled eggs in the tent he got so mad he cut one and I couldn't even go back in the tent so I packed up and drove the LTD off the ice in reverse so I wouldn't get stuck again I left Clarence In the tent he's probable still out there

How was the fishing this weekend?

Good ice! Slow fishin.

Why are there people that post ice reports for a day that has not come yet

Never been to dried meat want to go next weekend any good spots to try? How's the ice for driving on?_

Is tillicum good? What are you using?

Here today caught 5 jack Amd couple Bites ' And the people Around us catching also.

Was out for a few hours. Landed 8 pike. Nothing huge. Ice is 19" think. Drove out with a 3/4 ton

been out 7 days and got over 300 pike and 25 have been keepers and two of them have been over 10 and 15 pounds

I've never seen a Perch at this lake... Have been looking for them for years. Has anyone driven on the lake yet from the boat launch yet? Wondering if the ice is thick enough to drive on with a 3/4 ton?

The springs are located on the North West side of the lake where the battle river comes in. If your fishing Tillicum area your fine.

Fished 5 hours yesterday in small bay south of the boat launch at Tillicum. 17" ice, 14' deep 40-50 yards s.e. of point. Water very clear, seen 5 and caught 5 (pike). Nothing over 20", heard bigger ones tend to be more n.w. Any info on perch here would be appreciated..not so much where they might be, but if they are there

Closer to shore on the East side. Water was a little murky but could see the bottom at about 14 feet

Fishing was pretty slow today on west side of lake

I fished here once this summer and it was good action. Just wondering how it is thru the hard water. Anyone driving out yet? Some more info on springs and spots to avoid on the lake would be appreciated. Thanks.

Has anyone been out in December, I'm wondering if it's worth wile trip.

I have been on this lake all my life and haven't seen a perch on this lake. Years ago a few were caught on the west side of the lake. But there is a lot of springs and open water out there.

Can anyone fill me in on the perch fishing in this lake? Lots of pike talk here but zero on perch that has a 15 fish limit. So what' s the scoop? Lots but too small or what. Any info would be appreciated by many! Thanks!

My niece Raven got me on here its Wilbur here we were out on Driedmeat me george and the kids he drove his red ford out a little ways we caught many mariah's and pickeral and jacks over 50 fish but ice isnt too good

100' out from boat launch

Caught an 87 cm off the shore by the south dock on Sunday. Also caught a 65 cm from same spot. First keepers I've been able to keep from there.

Don't forget possession limit of 3. Just saying I hope you ate them before putting a bunch in the freezer.

Went out here for Aug 1st and 2nd ..was great fishing we cought over 200 from about noon to dusk. They were under 63 cm so we put them back in for another year. What was amazing about this lake was the people we ment there were so friendly and outgoing, There is a small campsite just up the road that has 7 sites , I got to meet a lady and her husband who had children and that was great because I had my with me to. they all played togather as we traded stories about fishing . Made me feel right at home. .....I was told there are some nice size Pike in this lake and behold on the water I was about to find out...I used the " Storm Wildeye Live pike, red devel .5 of diamonds and many other spoons they all worked great ...I had my rod broke by a nice Pike and the best was the one that bent my rod and snaped the line after five min trying to get it in,,,, I never got to see the fish that was on but im sure guessing it was a nice one. So this lake will see me again. These fish fight good and make the trip even more fun._Having the boat on the lake I had a wonderful time fishing and as the night came to a close the sunset over the lake made a perfect end for another great fishing trip ...will post a few picks here.

Our family went out today for only an hour but fishing was amazing just south of tillicum beach. Fish weren't big but had a lot of fight. We were trolling spoons staying on the edge of a weed bed

Is there a nice over night camp site out there and if if so could you please recommend it. Great catch btw

Thanks

Yes theres a good boat launch here...and theres some decent size pike in the lake too

Are there boats allowed in this lake. And is there a decent boat launch?

This is my go to Lake for pike fishing. almost always seems to be at least a little action off the docks or the point next to the docks. They are usually not very big, but I always have fun.

My wife and 1 of my boys were out on the lake today . She caught a 38" 15lb pike on a 5 of diamonds

38" pike caught here

Where is a good spot to fish from shore?

Has anybody caught any perch? @ dried meat?

Started the day at 8am and was out for 3 hours. We only were able to bring in 1 pike but went out in the early evening with some friends and started off slow but ended off great. A total of 20 pike in 2 hours.

We went out for about 3 hours and the boy brought in 4 Pike and I brought in 6. Nice night on the lake.

We went out for 3 hours. We had a hit as soon as we the hooks hit the water. After that it slowed down and we didn't catch any more until the later part of our trip.

Is it safe to eat the fish there? I know about 10 years ago it wasn't but has that changed?

dark day dark hook light day light hook. i use a spoon only and slay them. 6-8 ft of water. try to stray away from the crowd have better luck that way

Is anyone catching perch? Plan on going this weekend,

I was there on feb 9 for 3hours and didnt catch a fish . I used a light jig with a minnow . This was my first time ice fishing . Any tips or pointers would be a blessing thx.

Near boat launch

Went out for 3 hours with my dad and 5 year old. Good fun action! Caught 9 fish. All round that 2lb range. Did see one bigger closer to 5lb. Most were biting nice and aggressive. Jig tipped with minnow was most enticing bait we put down. Ice was about 14" of good clear ice. No flood water.

The thickness of the ice was close to the shore at the boat launch

Caught 2, no keepers just North of the huts. A nice guy cleans snow to his shack. Suggest shallower water like 6 - 8 ft. Orange Mepps spoon w. smelt & beef fat.

No water on the ice where u drive on.

How's the ice?

Curt, 2- 16pounders this year ! Pulled off docks! No joke, I saw one with my eyes, ad fish and game told me about another one across the lake at a private dock

The fishing has bin great. Landed a 12lb just off the dock. There are a lot of little one that are in great shape. I haven't seen perch in here since I was a kid. We're talkin 30 yrs ago.

Thought this lake was almost dead. Took the boat out and saw multiple catches from the dock, fish were small but looked healthy

Had a great winter fishing here with my son But want to know if anyone has seen or caught any perch?? I had a camera and only saw suckers and jack

What happened?? I was thinking about trying there this weekend

Caugh 35-40 pike off shore in 5-6 hours! Down fall- boaters acting like children!

Fishing was horrible when I went out yesterday, went for 4 hrs in the afternoon and caught 3 small pike. Waste of time.

Fished for 5 hours friday didn't catch anything but still was a nice day to get out

I would say 18 inches of ice. You can srive you vehicle on the ice.....with caution. Fishing was good, we caught 26 jack in 2 hours on tip ups. Flood water is bad though.

How's the ice fishing on this lake?? We are new to the area!

I caught a 12.5 pound pike about a week ago it put up a good fight I was lucky I landed it and did not lose it

I have been bringing my son here for the last month & he always catches every single time. I wish I could post pictures on here because this evening he caught a nice pike. 34inches & 9.5 pounds...he was a happy boy!!!

Great fishing!!! We caught 6 little ones over a couple of hours. A great place to take the kids!!! Fishing from the shore and docks my 4 year old caught his first!!!

Wicked fishing! 18 over two hours off shore! Biggest was just 2 cm's short of keep limit

Not the lake but good from shore if you like river fishing

Well I seen a 10 lber come outta there yesterday so there must be a few big ones around.

Sorry bud maybe you need a scale and tape measure. No way something that big came out of dried meat lake maybe what 30 yrs ago. Maybe you caught 48,2.2lbs ers

I was out me and a buddy got me a 22.3 lbs and about 48 inch long was the best thing I have seen come out of that lake this year. The best spot for me was the first dock only there for 3 hours 6 to 9 and we had him..released him so he can get bigger .

East side of bridge.
