Anyone catching fish?

Thank you!!!!!!!!!

9 inches

Anyone been out fishing?

Wow that would be awesome thank you.

I read on Alberta Outdoorsmen Forum that Buffalo has 7 inches of ice, but that is second hand knowledge.

Hey anyone out checking the ice? Thanks.

Anyone been out yet? Ice conditions, thickness??

How is the lake holding up for fishing? Still drivable? Thanks.

Lots of snow on top of the ice in areas be carful while out there, caught four pike and a burbot didn’t really see much more then that on the camera either, left at 3

19 inch of ice down scenic sands road, few pike on camera but no bites yet

Went fishing Jan 14 and seen 15 Jacks in the camera. Only caught 2 that were not big enough.

Its definitely gone down since last winter, over by scenic sands village. Last winter you would see a lot of jack and Burbot, normally went 9-4. Went today from 11-4, saw 2 fish that tested hooks but no real action. (Pun intended lol)

Was steady flow of fish , weren’t biting to hard but enough to make it fun

Plenty of really good ice everywhere I've been solid 13 inches. Take my 1 ton and my trailer out there no problem and no worries about doing so. Planning on trying by the island tomorrow off Rochan provincial park.

Anyone know ice thickness and activity around Rochon Sands? Looking to head out tomorrow. TIA

Hows the catch out at Rochon, anyone? Ice thickness as well please

Headed out today. I'll let you know how it goes. Last month it definitely was slower than last winter's season. -Allan

Anyone catching on Buffalo Lake? Seems slow this year.

Yes we have been driving out for a couple of weeks now and have our ice hut out also. There are numerous ice huts out on Scenic Sands.

Anyone know best access to the lake?

Anyone on the lake with trucks yet

Ice Report: 8 in

Anyone been driving trucks on the ice at rochon sands yet?

Anyone know the thickness of Rochon Sands? Thanks guys!! Headed out tomorrow!!!

Ice Report: 11 in

Thank you! Headed out today to fish.

Yes there’s two huts on the South Bay Area and about 9.5 inches of solid ice

Any shacks on Buffalo Lake yet? Thanks.

6-1/2 inches

6-8%u201D I was told on another site. As of Dec 1st

Hey guys anyone been out to check how thick the ice is? Thanks.

thank you !

Yes you can go to the narrows you can catch off shore, or go to Rochon sands

Can you shore fish lake ? thinking of going camping here thanks

Can I get on the lake with a fishing trailer?

Senic all weekend pulled 10-15 every afternoon. Kids loved it.

Slow fishing east of narrows windy day to be fishing

Usually Rochan sands bay well traveled. Some locals plow with side by side n such. Senic sands usually traveled and accessible. If it's deep I will be out with bobcat tonight. Good fishing!!!!!

Heard a lot of lakes north of Edmonton have too much snow to drive on the lake. Has anyone driven their truck on Buffalo Lake recently? If so, where would you recommend accessing from?

Fishing east of narrows fishing slow today but great weather

Not overkill at all. You have a much better chance of getting large pike than the guy who's seriously undergunned with 20lb flouro.

100lb is overkill. But when you have a pike take your 20$ crankbait cause he bit through your leader it doesnt seem so

I personally think 100lb test is 100% overkill. I use 10-15lb power pro ice teck and then change my leader depending o. Species I'm after. Perch/walleye- 8lb flourcarbon (4ft leader). Lakers 16-20lb flourcarbon (4-6ft leader). Pike tend to be less particular to line but I still use flourcarbon leader 20lb. Tie a swivel to your main line then tie on your leader. On a %u201Chot day%u201D line size/Color will not effect your productiveness but on slow days you would be amazed at the difference a flourcarbon leader can have on results. In fairness Never used 50 or 100lb line so I'm not sure what to say about effectiveness but I do know I always outfish the guy who has cheap mono for line.

Hey thanks for the help guess I'll go out and get some heavier stuff

An viynl coated 50lb tip up line on my tip ups. Id rather straighten a hook or have them pull out then have a pike bite through my leader or line. No worse feeling than loosing a picture worthy fish to inadequate tackle

Terminal tackle is key. I use 100 lb fluro leaders. Good swivels. Mist fish are lost trying to get their head up the hole. I use 50lb braid on my rod and adjust the drag so i dont break my rod. Most people dont catch big fish cause their under gunned. Not cause they cant hook them

its the 10lb ice braided line, same as the black stuff just orange but thanks for the tip. think it was getting cut on the bottom of the hole just not use to pike this big yet.

Nothing wrong with 10lb line in my opinion. Lots of factors. Knot tying, drag, weather, leaders, type of line.....

Hey maybe use your brain and use thick ice line like the black stuff instead of breaking 10lb line on fish, Come on people get the proper equipment before going

Got 6 burbs and 4 keeper pike before lunch sunday

I’ve only fished the lake twice this year but fished the exact same areas you just mentioned. The bay you speak of is full of huts so I imagine people do well there but I didn’t catch anything. We moved out of the bay along the shore towards the island and did really well. Found a transition from 3ft of water to 6ft and set up there. Keep moving around and keep trying. I’m my limited experience you are in an area that produces fish.

and does any one know if there's any fish in the delburne lakes, im probably going to try the northern section tomorrow and no depths on navionics so any help would be appreciative

fished at Rochon sands for the past couple days inbetween the dock and island and just outside the cove to the south, seen only four small pike and five monsters, only landed one small guy and broke my line twice, got 10lb line on and still broke with leaders._still new to the area any recommendations on better spots on the lake?__ps if anyone finds a tone of lures ive lost a few lol

Fished Senic today slower than The 2nd coming of Christ seen a few

Fishing east of narrows caught lots no keepers

What's the stoy over by the park boat launch?

Run an gun tip ups. Got my limit in 2hrs saturday with 2 guys. Nothing big but all around 29%u201D. Big ones go back anyways

Thank you everyone. Now anyone catching burbot and know a good spot.

One heave from the island to the north end. Yes you can get on

We usually just get on at scenic sands boat launch. Take my 28' trailer in there.

Rochon sands Buffalo sands senic sands boss hill the Narrows lots of choices

I was hoping someone could let me know the best place to get on the ice???

Spewy, do you know if there are heaves at rochon sands? Can I drive on there?

Got 6 pike and 1-8lb burb

Can you drive on at white sands yet. Ice was piled up at the boat launch before xmas

Ice Report: 18 in
Good solid ice. Out with pickups

Any ice reports?

I took mine with the quad only dumb people are driving out right now people with half a brain aren't, Ice didn't form that well to be driving on just yet

How's the ice thickness in the bay at Rochan? Can pull a shack out with a pick up?

Fishing has been slow and not great fishing hard to catch keepers ice access is limited not many ppl driving on

anyone having any luck. ? At gull... pretty slow here, thinking of heading that way. thank you

Rochan sands is where I always access the lake.

I was thinking of taking my Family ice fishing here. Where are some access points for getting on the ice? Thanks.

10" on the north west side of the lake, people were driving small cars out onto the lake.

I'm going out tomorrow, ice won't be safe to drive on but probly safe to walk on and fish. I will get the thickness tomorrow

Anyone been out on the ice this week? Thick enough to drive on?

Any ice reports? Thx.

Any one fishing on Buffalo at Scenic Sands?

Anyone fishing at Rochan Sands yet? 7in should be good to walk on

Well that is sounding good. Thank you! We fish at Scenic Sands but I would think it is about the same. Time to fish soon!!

Ice Report: 7 in
Rochon sands

Has anyone walked out on the ice yet? Thx.

Summer fishing on that side of the lake is poor in summer. To shallow. Too many weeds.

Tried fishing the Narrows for the first time this morning. No bites from shore or from our canoe until we made it out to the main lake. Then we had one single bite but it came off. Any tips? It was our first time at Buffalo and we'd like to come back and catch some fish next time.

Fishing was good today. Out for 3.5 hours. Caught 9 pike. Largest 5lbs and only 2 were under keeper size.

Curious if anyone has been out on the lake fishing recently?

Just wondering if I should take my 18' inboard boat out the depth chart seams to be all over the place thanks

Can anyone tell me what it's like up around pelican point?

Rochon sands launch is very well designed just watch for the rock keep the motor high until out abit,white sands is a fine launch too

Where is the best boat launch?

Caught 20 pike in a hours time... no keepers used spoons
View on Map

Absolutely no one at Rochon Sands. Little Leary to try it

Anyone have an Ice report for Rochon Sands? Thanks guys!!

Catch and release at the narrows, but once your out past the two white poles in the mouth than its fair game to keep pike and burbot all to the other end of the lake just the narrows is where you have to put them back

I see some people saying they are keeping the pike but I just looked at the regs and it says this lake is catch and release only for both pike and burbot

Does anyone know the thickness at Buffalo lake right now?

Thanks for the info!

Was outthere today lots of ice on senic sands I pulled my shack but lots of shacks still outthere fishing was really slow though

I know the ice will still be thick but I am wondering how the surface is for driving on? Thanks.

Anyone know how the ice is at Rochon?

Soupster92 the ice is over 24inches thick as I I drive across the lake from the north side to the narrows on Monday afternoon. Just watch out for the ice heaves on some areas but there's still lots of ice.

Hey I'm planning on going to Buffalo tomorrow just wondering how much ice is out there because tonight Gull had some sketchy cracks so we're looking for a break from that. So if anyone knows please let me know how much Ice is out there. Thanks

Lots of ice on the lake, should be good for awhile

Great fishing caught 3 pike in less than 2 hours in about 12 feet of water and the ice is thick. Just used a jig hook with a minnow

Where the good spots on buffalo to fish? Scenic? Or Rochon?

Ice Report: 35 in
North west side of lake

Thanks for the fishingmike!

3 of us fishing off TWP 410 caught 5 keepers and released quite a few smaller ones. 9 fow 25" ice.

Where is the best spot for big pike, would appreciate any information.

7:00am- 10am. 6 ling all around 8-9lbs. 4 pike. One 41" long. All released. Still eating my pike from yesterday

Fished 2:45pm till 4:30. Caught 12 pike. Kept 3 all around 30"

Just check hotspot map. Pretty much the safe bets. If your running camera stay east side. West side usually murky. Good luck!!

I have never fished Buffalo. Can anyone help me out with a place to go?

Great day on the water today, had 14 tip ups go off and landed 11 pike. No burbot unfortunately :(

Hey Jansy, yeah we did ok 3 all around 26-28". Keep in the weeds if you can find them! Good luck, have fun!

23" of ice

Excellent day fishing. We kept 4 and released about 12. About 7 fow using a minnow and jig.

Thanks Femmefisher! Still lots to drive on! Any luck on the 17th? Hopin to get a few for a fry :)

I was out on the 17th, the ice was at 2'. It was a bit mushy and wet though.

Hey all! Hope fish still biting hard! I'm headed out Sunday but was wondering on ice condition by Rochon launch with this warm weather? TIA !

Did anyone loose a key? Found not far from the point off rochon boat launch, close to the white shack. If so its at the Erskine Grill!!

Hows the fishing out there. Heading out tomorrow to get my big gator!

How is the ice today ? Fairly thick , and how is the fishing

Good morning

How about around pelican point over by the boat launch , and is there anything being caught over there

Ok thank you

20"plus most places. I seen thin ice on the narrows before the snow. I have driven across most the lake. Its safe. But the ice heaves are uncrossable on most parts of the lake

How thick is the ice

4 fish at scenic sands 8:30-10:00am 17 pike at my spot 10:30-4:00 With the bulk of the bites between10:30-2:30 Biggest 33". Kept my limit 3 -29"

Thanks Boudar!

I was out there Xmas day and boxing day. No problem getting on from the boat launch

Heading here tomorrow, is anyone driving on from Rochon boat launch? I heard there was some pressure with the ice to cause swells.

Where is the best place to get on the lake? preferably on the south end.

Thanks for reports! Debating going out Wednesday

Landed a 29' burbot swallowed my hook and had to keep him. Saw a couple huge pike and had 4 other hits... one broke my line. Another I lost a gold Williams wobble. . I will get it back tomorrow...

I'm headed to Roch on Sands tomorrow morning... Will post update. Merry Christmas Everyone!!!

Just got set up on scenic, 18" of measures ice

Got out to Rochon sands twice in the last week, had great luck both times. Couldn't get our hooks down fast enough for the jack. Seen a few monsters stalking our holes but, there's a reason they're that big. 18" of good solid ice there.

19" of ice at riders. Tip up fishing. Need skates. Pretty slick without any snow. Might be a mirage or an ice heave between here and scenic sands

Out on the 15th to Rochon sands 2 keeper Pike and one Burb over 4 hours. Seen a couple monster pike swim past .

Ice Report: 14 in
Scenic Sands

Any ice reports? Thx.

anyone have some info on how the ice is coming?

Opps I meant Pelican Island or Pike's Point as we have never fished from boat on this lake.

What is fishing like around Pelican Point.

Opening day on Sunday,fished the South East shore in-front of Rochon and Whitesands cabins. Caught about 8 pike,in 5 hours. Nothing to get excited about,but every fish still made me smile!

Slow day fishing in the boat. Got 4 pike in roughly 5 hours. This was the first time ever fishing this lake though.

Have to work there tie-fri don't know if I bring ice gear or not

21" of ice between White and Rochon Sands on Saturday, got on easily at White.

Is there still lots of ice?

Still a good 2ft. Had a great day yesterday!!!! 7 pike, one 8lbs... All released. Practice catch and release to keep this lake a good lake to fish!!! Thanks!

Anyone have an Ice report?

How's the fishing been? Haven't been out for a couple of weeks.

Fished Scenic sands today. Good ice. Fishing was very slow. Caught 2 pike in 3 hours. Nobody was catching anything today.

The pike are biting good. Having better luck in the murkier water from scenic to the west, using smelts, spoons, and lipless crankbaits. Iced 7 today and lost about as many, 2 keeper size. Ice varies from 14"-20", and is very solid.

thickness is around 2 ft we drilled through it yesterday.

I am heading out there I need to know how thick the ice is can anyone shed some light on it for me , thanks

What's the ice thickness like these days?

I would say if you don't have a hut you should be 20 - 30 feet from the closest shack. I honestly don't really like people fishing any closer. You are compromising their fishing etc. Be courteous of the perment shacks etc. You have a whole lake to fish :)

Released 10 pike today.

Ask yourself if you were inside the hut, how close would you want someone fishing to you

Can anyone answers this question for me? I fish a lot and I go where the huts are ( I don't have a hut). What is the unwritten rule of how close to someone's hut I would be ok setting up?

I am heading out there today can anyone tell me the ice thickness

Directions to Senic Sands, from Erskine Convenience store, go north Hwy on 835 for TWP RGE RD 40-2 go west or left for 2.4 km turn right or north on 211-A for 2.6 km, turn left on buffalo drive & next right @ the garbage bins & onto the lake. Good Luck Fishing Happy HookR

Can anybody tell me the best place to fish here for pike? and where is Senic Sands?

Awesome, Thanks for the Info.

Kevinm,we have taken our Jetta on the ice several times. No problems

15 pike from 11am to 2:30pm. Too much fun! 16" of ice.

Senic Sands Jan 12 2016 Caught 9 pike biggest 65 cm, lots of strikes. From noon - 17:00 hrs

The narrows is catch and release only gotta be out past two white poles along the shore line and yes you can get on with a car not much snow on the lake

Hello all, can anyone tell me how accessible the lake is with a car?_

I herd this is catch and release for pike , is this correct

Hi Marco sounds like you had a good day, if you dont mind me asking what part of the lake , and what should I use , not sure what to use

Got 9 pike today and 1 8lb burbot Biggest pike was 10lbs great day fishing

I am new to ice fishing how thick is the ice, and what do you use for this lake, and has anyone caught anything

I am also wondering how thick the ice is. Anyone fishin'?

Hello.. Can anybody tell me how thick the ice is now?? Thanks

16 lb pike at the narrows just before ice up. Now ice is 5" thick but we found about 1.5" under the snow so be careful. Still got 9 on Saturday through the ice and a 10 lb'er in the bunch

My first time here at the narrows..great fishing..landed 7 big pikes to bad fish wild life confirmed no one is allowed to keep the pikes..strictly 100% catch and release only...but still great fishing.

Lots of pike but a high traffic area

thanks DaveyG. I will check it out. Not camping just heading for some evening summer fishing.

Brokerbrad: to get to narrows go north on Range Road 221 off of highway 601, 5km. There are places in the campground you could park, lots of empty sites when I was there today.

This whole area on this side of narrows appears to be all shallow and weedy, boat had trouble getting through.

I have heard people fishing on the shore at the "narrows". Is there signage to get to the narrows and is there parking? Is it easy access or just locals knowledge?_Thanks

Fished there with a buddy a few weeks ago we pulled in 31 pike in three hours just at the narrows going to the lake.

The narrows is the far southwest side of the lake decent fishing there caught a 15lb pike there

In the narrows caught a 8 lb and a 10 good fish trolling the narrows

A HotSpot Marker was added for Buffalo Lake

Went out May long 2015 caught 12 couple of keepers

Which part of the lake is the narrows?

Where you fishing by thanks

Fished for two hours and pulled 9 into the boat. 5 were nice keepers

Went fishing on Sunday in the narrows and nothing

That's awesome, do you ever summer fish here, catch any big ones Ianflyfisher.

Cool cat we will have to hook up this up coming winter I'll have a ice shack built for this winter look for camouflage shack lol

Ya there are definitely some monsters in this lake

I have caught a 22 lbs 41 inch pike out of their pictures to prove lol in 2012

Went to the narrows today ice is almost gone there but still ice on the lake got 3 like today

Any word on how the ice is breaking up? Just trying to get a sense for when I can get my boat back in the water. Thanks!

Last day out was Friday 13th. Now I'm not superstitious but lol. Pushed twelve to sixteen inches of water on way out. Here's to another fridged one over!! Cheers!!

No worries about ice drive kenworth out if you like lol

What's the ice like out there? Heading out Sunday just wanna be sure!

Fished all weekend and it was great. Eight fish Saturday. 12 on Sunday, two were Burbot. Used smelts on a treble hook about 8-10 inches off the bottom. Couldn't have asked for a better long weekend.

How is the ice near the narrows?

One Jack we caught had ate a small one but the other one we seen was as big as a Jack. Lol. They get huge!

Mud puppies would be harmless in that lake the pike would eat them up

Mudpuppies spend their entire lives underwater and are distinguished as the only salamanders that make sound—a dog-like barking.

No it is not a burbot. I seen a mudpuppy the other day from Buffalo Lake.

if you're talking burbot, they're pretty big predators, but I don't think they can wipe out the mature pike. Mature burbot eat smaller fish, including young northerns.

I just saw a picture of a big ol mud puppy caught in Buffalo last week. I've been told that they can decimate a lake - wipe out all the fish. Can anyone comment on that?

Rochon sands area is very clear, could see bottom at 18'. Scenic sands and narrows are murky.

Is this lake as murky as gull lake?

Where's the best place to get on ice ??

thanks Deevo

I've caught ling jigging just off bottom, letting treble with minnow sit on bottom. I was out on Saturday and cAught three with green jig head and minnow foot or so off bottom

Fished for about an hour in the afternoon and a couple more later in the evening. I ended up bringing in 4 decent size pike, however the wife kick my butt by bringing in a dozen. We were trolling back and forth just to south east of Pelican Point on the south side of the island in water 6-10' deep.

I use those rubber fish call storm you get them from walt mart or canadian tire they are a small pike between 3 to 6 inch usually 6 inch work better at buffalo lake or black and white spoon get the job done

What type of bait are you all using?

was there for 5 days last weekend caught between 30 to 40 pike everyday up to 10 pounds bugs were terrible

We went fishing on Fri. and caught over 40 Jack's and kept 7. They were biting all day from noon to 7:30 pm.

8pm-10pm. 8 pike.

How's the ice on the lake

Thanks outfishya! I'll be giving it a shot this summer.

Fished from 10-2 on Sunday. Almost 30 fish between two of us. Most averaged around 4lbs, with 3 closer to 8. Nice and aggressive. Fished in about 4' of water. Minnow on a treble hook.

yep catching pike on flies

Anywhere near all the shacks. We separated ourselves from them and it seemed to work. I think we fished Northwest of the shacks...

Thanks MattyO for the info, what's a good location?

Yes you can drive on the lake and yes, large smelts on a triple hook worked well for us yesterday. We caught 15 pike and lost a lot throughout the day. Good luck.

I'm planing to go ice fishing next weekend with my sweet but need to know where's a good location, is the ice drive able, I'm guessing smelts are the bait of choice? If anyone can help me out it would be greatly appreciated...Thanks. \\ Fish On //

What were you using for bait? Thanks.

Tons of action out here today. Had a few monster pike swim by the hole. Got a few good sized ones. Great day. Saw the big ones around noon

I appreciate the help! I will post results once we return.

We fish alot at Buffalo Lake we go out on the Lake at Scenic Sands and we catch primarily Pike and the odd Burbot we use spoons and jig them alot and we smelts for bait with tip ups. Somedays we catch some and some days we don't. Good luck.

Planning to bring out some beginner fisherman next week. What are you using for bait? There are just Pike and Burbot in Buffalo Lake, correct?

Anybody catch Pike on a fly rod out there?

Caught 3 good pike (over 75 cm) off the shore at Ol Macdonald Resort.

Fished a couple hours yesterday morning along north shore caught one small jack. Couple hours same evening on south shore same result.

Yellow slide

Half way through the bay (heading onto the lake) on either side of the bay are two very clear white pillars, that's your mark for keeping fish.

Ive boated pretty much whole lake few sand hills over west side but are usually marked by some one. In the narrows there are some big rocks submerged so i dont go in there just a pain to fishers from shore anyway cuz so narrow hence the name. Found a few snags just north of boss hill area not sure what it was i was just crawling along. All in all lots lake no problems hope helps stay safe good boating to you!!!

I've heard many people speak of rock beds that are potential hazards on this lake. Anyone know where the trouble spots are?

More to the point of if you are staying at the narrows can u prove you never caught them there.

Can anyone out there advise us on where you can keep the fish at the narrows. I know you cant keep the fish at the narrowrs but can you keep them in the bay as you leave the narrows. The regulations are not much help with this issue.

How's the ice melting going in Buffalo?

Fished bay again today must be on the burbot hole. Caught three big burbot one little jack.

Fished bay today with kids pulled one good keeper jack four rather large burbot small one was 88cm to bad out of season! Any fish makes good day !

Every one I talked to taday at senic got skunked lol atleast i wasnt the only one!!

Is there good truck access onto the lake

Went out Sunday, 24 th.slow in the morning but picked up between3-4 pm. Caught 1 on tip up but broke the line. Caught 6 on 5 of diamonds (red and yellow) with and without smelts. 3 keepers and 2 large pike that got away. In about 6 feet water with sand and some weeds. Tend to hit in top 3/4 of water.

Was out with the fiamily on long weekend everyone caught keepers over 70cm senic has yet to dissapoint!!

Fished off of Rochon Sands on Feb 18. Saw a ton of Pike, only caught one. Don't know if my set up was not appealing enough, but there was a guy who had at least 6 nice fish on the ice.

Went out to Rochon Sands last weekend. Caught a nice Pike on a tip-up. Fishing is really hot there as of late. Yet to see any burbot though. Ice is about 16 inches thick. Drive my full size truck out on it with ease

Aug 7 fishing for past couple days on N. side off lake, not asingle bite. Locals say it's been quiet most of summer. Beautiful weather, enjoyed every minute out here.

We went fishing there last year and caught 7 or 8 healthy pikes. But this year we went fishing there a couple of times catching nothing. It's a huge lake

Went to the mouth of battle called the narrows. Nice little campground pulling out pike at will nice sizes 7 pounds biggest. Green frog spoon all day

Ice is at 18" thick, and there is 6" of snow coverage on the ice.
