Is there any good perch spots on this lake ?

Was camping at Country' of Bonneville site at Pelican Point. Arrived Thursday evening 22nd of July. Left 25 July at 500. Fishing was excellent. wind however was nasty. Was difficult to keep the boat in place with an anchor due to the high winds. There were white caps on the main lake but the cove at Pelican Beach was protected by the cove. The fishing was good Friday am but slacked off by noon. Again after supper the bites picked up. Sat almost too windy to fish except from shore where you were able to take advantage of the wind as cast way far out from the shoreline. Catches ranged from a couple pounds to almost 10 lbs. Both from shore and in the boat slowly trolling and casting. Roughly speed 1 on the electric motor. Sunday am it was great, was almost every cast there was a bite the fellow I came camping with and his son went out and caught 5 between the 2 of them before breakfast. I went out and caught 7 with in a 2 hour time waiting for the breakfast bell...lol Best lures were the standard red devil 00 and single0. Next was a fluorescent yellow spoon with the red devil strip on it silver and brass coloring were both active. Two piece Rapalla style lures in cream, iridescent white, mother of pearl and fluorescent yellow were also successful. Overall it was a great weekend the weather was great except the wind but that's ok Good people, company, site,food and a weekend to remember. One more thing I must mention is there are no fish to be taken for food or otherwise at this time. Must catch and release. Unless Metis, treaty or otherwise first peoples.

Anybody know what the ice thickness is?

New regulations make it not even worth fishing in Alberta. First time in 20 years I will not be purchasing a licence in Alberta. They're starving us out so I'm a couple years you'll be glad to pay 23.50 for a jack draw and 15 dollars for your perch license on top of your license

Anyone have any luck this winter?

What's the burbot like in this lake.

Where have guys been catching nice walleye looking for some to fill my tags

What's everyone think of these new regulations?

Very slow fishing this winter... sure would be nice if they culled some of the many cormorants that frequent the lake every year. Out today and caught 2 skinny pike and 2 Burbot.

Purple/pink is the ticket for perch on this Lake! Go deep for perch, and drill till you see the flicker on your sonar! Tight lines all!

I heard purple sparkly jigs are %u201Cthe juice%u201D on this lake..

Couple pike, lots of bites

Water is very high this year. There are places to launch but not at Vezeau beach.

It's good at franchere. You don't have to back out overly far to load/unload a boat.

Lol don't float well lol

Ya it's terrible! Them boats don't float too well on high water levels!

Heard through the grapevine that water is too high to launch a boat. I've never been on the lake before. Any truth to this?

Went out Jan 21/17 Ice at least 17" 3 of us for 6 hours We caught 18 tiny perch and 2 huge jack. Not bad but have to find right spot or nothing.

Ice about 18 inches on north shore; fishing was slow, mostly pike in 16-20 inch range, caught 1 walleye as well.

Anyone on the ice yet?

Went out for 2 hours on Saturday. Caught keeper walleye and 6lb pike.

Went out for a day but no luck at all

there is none native can do whatever they want and the government are too stupid to grow ba..s so do like a lot of people does around you see a net drag it to shore and burn it us fisherman need to deal with the issue nobody is there too help sad but true

I would like to know what the right approach is to voice your opion about the netting in such a small body of water. We have tried at the local sustainability meetings and the answer is " NEXT!"

Is there still a concern for the blue green algae?

Fished the tournament in june and people were saying that like 30000 lbs of fish were netted in the winter so fishing was very slow for thw tournament. Guys still found them but it was tough. So im thinking this alow fishing might continue for a bit.

Been here for 2 days we've caught 6 pike, only one keeper. The survey gals on shore, said it was the first fish they have tested in 3 days. FWL officer also stopped by, said it was one of the biggest he had seen all summer. It was only 72cm. Other fish men were shocked when they seen me come to shore. Sounds like nothing is has been caught for a while. This is my first time here. Is it always slow?

Anyone catching any fish? Lakes warm and haven't had a bite in two days right outta franchere bay! Some hint would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Anyone been catching walleye or pike? If so can someone help a guy out and let me know where abouts wanna try a new lake

Thanks Artiebar, I'm booked at Franbhere bay. I'll see what I can find.

Happy Happy, I stayed at Moose Lake PP, fished off Deadman's Point mostly.

Hey airtebar. What area of the lake you fishing? We r going to franchere bay in a couple weeks. We've never been there before, thanks for any help. Kids want to catch some fish

Just got back Sunday from Moose Lake. Fishing was good for pike and walleye. Caught a few Walleye (smallest 47 cm, biggest 57 cm) on minnows trolling in 12 to 14' of water. Neighbor beside me in camp caught lots of Walleye with leeches. Water clarity was ok, visibility about 2 feet depth.

Blue green algae just confirmed%uD83D%uDE1Ewe r going the week after the long weekend. Any fishing reports would be helpful, thanks

Heading out August long weekend, what's the fishing been like!? Thanks

Hey happy fisherman! How does the water look? Much for Algae? Thanks for any info, going first week in August and want the kids to be able to go to the beach.

Was out July 11-13 caught lots of pike Didn't catch any walleye jigging with minnows from boat. Guess I should have tryed leaches Also had my ball and hitch swiped from my truck camping at pelican point campground. But still had a great time

The tournament guys seemed to do OK
