Fished for 2 hours from the dock with spinnners. No bites. Thought I saw a couple of fish rise out of the corner of my eye, but may have been the neighborhood muskrat messing with me.

Fish were jumping but no bites. Beautiful lake, not busy at all!

Fished from 7 to 10pm. Fish really started jumping around 9pm. Small flies small fish. Very small fish...beautiful evening!

Fishing has been mediocre at best, the lake was stocked before opening day. Glad to see lots of people out, good luck!

Was there late June. Netted 4 browns 12, 16, and 2 x 19”ers. I didn’t see a single bow, but the browns were very thick and took hard out of the weed line.

Lake was full of Weeds near dock and cleared up on the far east side of lake. Seen lots of jumpers and cought one 49 cm fish and it was cloudy and windy day but a nice one for fishing on a Tuesday.

Had my vehicle broken into and3 rods and two gear bags were stolen. I’m offering $1000 no questions asked for their return. The items are extremely sentimental. Any help would be greatly appreciated. camyallits@gmail.com

Had my vehicle broken into on the 5th. Took 3 rods and two gear bags. If anyone has info

Pretty slow today, 6 or so boats out flyfishing and spin fishing and noone got anything. in the 2 1/2 hrs i was out, i was trying chironomids and leeches. Wildlife viewing was awesome tho with loons, pelicans, and geese families, made for a lotta fun despite lack of fish. One if the guys said its been a pretty slow year overall, but there are a few nice trout if ya put in the time.

Shore fishing good off dock a two other places

was wondering if you can shore fish??

Seen plenty of fish pics from Muir already this year both browns and bows.

Too many people poaching it last year theres probly not many left

No fish from anyone. It is still early in the season. I only saw a couple jump. May be better when stocked.

Muir lake is closed for ice fishing from Nov 1 to Apr 30. FYI if anyone is coming to try ice fishing here

Cruised all around Muir Lake yesterday evening. Two of us tried various spinners and spoons of all shapes, sizes and colours. Not one bite, and weeds are beginning to take over. However, the fish are still jumping everywhere.

No bites at all. Weeds everywhere. Saw two pelicans nab one each though. That pretty much was the highlight.

Fished today caught one on the first cast and he broke my line,saw him in the water was huge! No other bites,maybe it was to warm during the day.

Fished three hours no bites or fish jumping first time there not impressed

I fished it last weekend and caught a few 14" rainbows. Even after the winter kill last spring I caught a few 20"

Iceandfire, the lake fished well last season with a 0 catch limit. It has recently been stocked again this year. This is a sportsmans lake. Gotta work a bit but the fishing is decent here. They stocked rainbows and browns in it this year.

Came up to a sign saying that this lake has winter kill and there is no big ones whatsoever the limit is only one at 20 inches. Gone 3 times so far no fish, lots an lots of minnows by the dock. Lots of little fish jumping, but no bits. But overall it's nice to get out an toss the line in the water because you never know. But won't go back this year even tho it's nice an close to town.

Yeah I went Thursday. 5 or 6 other boats on there as well. No fish for anyone. Disappointed outcome.... but a nice day.

@Hardcor did you end up going yesterday? How was it? I am going tonight.

Yes I seen that post from Nov as well. I read it the same as big fish! My bad! Anyway I'm headed there tomorrow, chucking bugs and see what happens. I wish you all the best in your up and coming open water season! : )

Yes they talked about fishing on november 1 but notice how they said they were fishing the other day which means sometime late october.

People spoke about fishing in november Hardcor....

Thanks Tips! : /

That's because the lake is closed Nov- May. By May you can't fish on what ice is remaining.

I looked back at this thread that started in 2011. There is no mention of ice fishing......just people wondering if the ice is off yet is all. Thanks for the updates!

FYI muir lake is closed Nov1st-April 30th. Why are people talking about ice fishing?

Muir update lake is open by the dock quite a bit and south side of lake is completely open been here for a few hours nothing yet airtaiter is still going pulled as much of the fencing aside

Muir opens today, anyone heading out that can give an ice report? Going Friday.

Some open water but not much. Open around the aeration and about 5m from shore. Hopefully this week will get the ice off.

With the winter kill I figured it didn't need more pressure. On my hit list come ice off after may 1 though.

We must have crossed paths at Spring. The last day I fished there was November 13 and found some slabs on a Vampire leach pattern, Like you, never fished Muir at all last year.

Not Muir, Spring. I didnt fish Muir at all last year.

Well hopefully you were not on Muir in late November 'cause it's closed from November 1 to April 30!

That's wishful thinking, however I am wishing too... Gonna be a late start. Oh well I was still out on the lake late Nov. last year.

Only 2 weeks to opening day (May 1). Let's hope the ice is gone.

Still plenty of ice as of apr 9th nice to see aeration system going

Has anyone been out recently? Is the ice off? Any reports of dead fish?

Fished for a few hours the other day, landed 4 on back swimmers about 10ft off the dock. Biggest was 20.5 inches! Good to see!

Some of us will likely go out in the fall for the backswimmer action but if others want to wait for next spring that's OK with me!

Weeds have fully taken over the lake, in a float tube it's unfishable. Don't bother even trying. Go to another lake. You won't have a good time. The weeds are getting close to the dock as well.

Was out yesterday evening (Aug. 8). Weeds have grown almost to the surface (nearly everywhere). Not a sign of trout jumping/surfacing anywhere at all. Water's probably too warm at this stage in mid-summer. Don't waste your time until next spring folks.

Alberta flyfisher.........i caught a couple last June

I haven't ever caught a brown at this lake. All rainbows, since someone asked. Been fishingit for 9 years.
