Sorry no small mouth bass in Island lake (Athabasca)! However there is a Island lake by (Smoky lake) that has reported small mouth bass in years past I believe it was stocked back in 1980s

The high pressure of fishing, poachers and hutterite netting on this lake has now made pike catch and release. A once flourishing perch population dwindled, hard to find any. No etiquette in summer from boaters. Thank you internet for ruining good fishing spots since 1997.

Lake is very slow. Only caught a couple all weekend and very small fish. Not worth the time.

Can you drive on at the campground?

by Newfisher on Feb. 19, 2017

About 36 inches of ice, very little snow coverage With the warm weather, be mindful of changing conditions, there were quite a few trucks out that didn't seem to have any issues.

I have fished Island off and on for the past 25 years. I haven't even seen a whitefish, through the ice nor accidentally caught. If they are there, they certainly weren't in the areas I was fishing.
