Hi guys from Birch Lake last Monday. You are from Sylvan Lake. You had a white truck and fished by the island. You caught one nice rainbow, one little brookie and another little rainbow. We talked a few times. You had cameras, sonars and a blue tent. Also, you came in on the bad road. Anyway, I would like to make contact with you to go fish another lake this next week: WEDNESDAY? I will meet you in Sylvan, pay your gas and buy you A & W burgers. This lake is out by Nordegg. I know the spots to fish on it. Your brother caught a nice brown on Birch last summer. If you are interested please contact me at my on this website or phone Ron at 587-273-0234.You will enjoy this lake, but will need to have crampons.

15-16" of ice , saw lots of trout all different types, caught 2 browns, 1 rainbow, and 1 Brockie, all in all awesome day

Went out Grouse hunting around Birch Lake and the Fish and Game were setting up the orange thin ice snow fence and they said people are catching nice fish all types of Trout. Just thought I would do an update so people know what's up out there.

No longer able to drive down the hill to launch a boat. Hand launch only down a short, steep, muddy hill. Should keep some of the gas motors away.

Out there today Sept 4th. From 7 tell 1130am. Not a bite on spinners or spoons. And nothing on the bottom rig I tried for a little while. I'm an a mature fisherman so I might not have made the rig properly also. Two guys on a small boat with trolling motor seemed to have more success. I'll be back nice place.

Caught 3 rainbows off a float tube. One was 11". Fly rod Saw a big brown jump

Lots of fish jumping. A few biting. Hooked one 10 inch with a spinner from the dock in an hour of fishing.

Was out there today and the lake is still cover with ice. BUT that being said I would not recommend going out on the ice. I think within a month we all shall be fishing there. Cheers Paul

Anyone been out here lately????

Alright thank you very much for the info, what bait do you use if you don't mind sharing?

Fishing hit and miss, last time out landed a dozen rainbows and a few brookies. This lake looks more like the Walmart parking lot these days. Was out last week mid week and there was no lie over 30 trucks parked in the parking lot and probably a dozen on the lake which blows my mind considering it's a foot access lake only.

How's the fishing going? Anyone have any info? Been wanting to try this lake for a long time but it's a 3 hour drive for me any information would be greatly appreciated.

No action, not a nibble. busy lake

Out on Sunday for an hour and a half, caught a 14" rainbow in about 6ft of water about 20 minutes in
