Was out yesterday. Super windy. Caught 1 laker, too small and had only a few bites. Where have the fish gone?

Use sonar, drilled and marked all fish over 12 hint
When you mark a fish do a retrieval at good speed first or match speed of fish

Smelts or shrimp work well

Ice fished Spray often over past 30 years. Not at all the same lake in last 3 years. Either poached or fished out. It's like a village on the ice on weekends now. Alberta Hunting, Fishing and Trapping mag. mostly to blame for saying it's the go to lake for Lakers. Still a lovely lake to get out on.

Hey guys, heading out to Spray tomorrow Jan 25, hoping to catch for first laker.. what is everyone using?

I know there is no limit on size but I don’t keep them unless it’s worth filleting...I will catch them next year

Had the zodiac out on Spray today with the family. Didn't catch anything. It was stupid windy and very hard to enjoy! Seems to me that the reservoir is extremely low. Will try again on another weekend and hope it's not windy.





by scordz on Jun. 2, 2021
Hi ipaddle,ice is off at spray.Water levels are still a little low for a large boat.





by Ipaddle on May. 31, 2021
It's end of May. Is the Ice off of Spray Lake to paddle and fish? Thanks





by scordz on May. 28, 2021
Hi Blackhawks,smelt is allowed as bait and is your best bet.Make sure they are not minnows as that will result in a fine.





by Blackhawks on May. 26, 2021
Hello lads and lassies! I want to take the kids out there in mid-June to camp and fish out of a canoe. Any pros out there with advice on where to fish and what bait to use? I understand that live fish bait is not allowed. Anyone have any luck with worms? Any advice would be very much appreciated!

Any update about ice thickness





by Artemis on May. 6, 2021
May 6, 2021. Ice thickness 20" - 24" with a few inches of snow on the surface at the middle of lake. Water level seems to be lower than last time I was there. Beautiful day with a light breeze, no jacket required. Fish biting and lost a couple, but managed to land '3' lake trout. Did not see anyone else on the lake today.





by Artemis on Apr. 22, 2021
April 16, 2021. Ice thickness still over 30" at the middle of the lake. No wind, blue sky and beautiful day. Slow day, only had a few bites and landed '2' lake trout.

Scordz: About 3.5 km south from Driftwood Boat Launch. Was there yesterday and caught '2' lake trout. Ice out in center of reservoir was still 30"+. Water depth between 63' - 65'.

Hi Artimis,where abouts were you on the lake?





by Artemis on Mar. 18, 2021
Weather was clear, light breeze and sunny. Ice thickness was about 25"-30". Water depth 65-78 ft. Caught limit of lake trout, largest was 15 1/2". Great day on the lake.





by RussG on Feb. 28, 2021
Fished for a few hours opposite of boat launch in 63" of water. 3.5' of ice. Maybe one nibble. Close to a foot of snow makes for hard walking.





by Artemis on Jan. 25, 2021
January 21, 2021. Ice about 18" thick. Depth in area was 65 feet about 1 km south of boat launch to middle of the lake. Landed '2' small lake trout but released them.





by Airdriewheels on Jan. 9, 2021
Was out today from 8am to 4pm. Only one laker bite in 90 ft of water. Quite a few fish on the fish finder but they didn't seem interested in anything we were offering. Went closer to shore at around noon to try for whitefish. Couple nibbles but nothing landed. Tons of people out on the ice. Not sure how successful anyone else was.





by Zombarak on Dec. 21, 2020
Excellent day today, fished at 106ft of water and caught my limit in an hour me and my friend. Ice thickness was just under 10 inches .
