Fished 2 hrs. Caught 3 nice rainbows 15-18%u201D. Midge imitation worked well. Saw a couple of larger fish. Nice spot for the kick boat

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

Ice Report: 12 in
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

Caught five rainbows here in anywhere from 5-7 feet of water

What are you guys using for bait thanks

Lake is clear , fished it April 17 th . Fish caught in 10 to 15 feet after 2pm

Anyone been since melted, was there winter kill there also?

Hey there guys was wondering if there's still enough ice to walk on out there have a 2 hour trip one way so don't really want to drive all the way up there thanks a lot

Limited out by noon seen some nice ones a little fussy but all good

Thanks Monsterlander.

I was there 2 weeks ago and there was 15 trucks on the ice. Even with the warm weather I would imagine it's still fine.

Has anyone been out recently that could tell me if you think it will be safe to drive on this coming weekend Feb. 20??

ok lets clear this up there is no springs running into the lake right now no pike no walleye no burbot just trout browns brooks and rainbows big sign saying can keep three but only one can be rainbow you can drive on lake through a back trail but locals dont like it lots of atvs and sleds fish and wildlife use there sleds on it and there is no length limit also CLEAN UP UR S**T cuz us locals are getting sick of doing it

Bin thinking of comeing down to the lake.couple hour drive. Should I be ready to walk on? Or can you drive on.

Ok day fishing had a couple brooks saw some small Browns and some decent rainbows. Terrible luck from the lake lost a phone and left my tackle box I'm thinking probably in the parking lot. Poorluck to have lost a phone through the ice and if anyone's seen my tackle box that would be nice I know that's a long shot. 16 inches of ice. Give me a ring if you have my tackle not hoping for anything. Blue Plano should have three licenses in it. 5872231665

Beautiful day on the lake today no sign of a big brown but still great to be out.

What is the legal length to keep the trout here? Is it a foot?

I'm hoping that they are talking about the other birch lake with pike and whites

I have heard many reports of pike and burbot being caught going up tomorrow for Brookies hopefully no pike nothing like an invasive species to ruin a good fishery

Because of reports like that,this website's getting lamer and lamer

I was out last weekend, far north end of lake , spring running into lake there. Fishing was great, big whites, pike , ling, 10 walleye, I never caught so many fish in all my days.

Apparently there have been reports of pike being caught at birch. Can anyone confirm wether or not this is true?

You are allowed to keep 3 trout any species combined but only 1 rainbow. I believe that's what the regulations are .

The fish r very good eating

you are NEVER allowed 5 of each species.

And is it true you should not eat the fish out of this lake? Lol

It says on this your not allowed to keep any. I need to pick up a set of regs. In the mean time does anybody know if you are? Because someone told me 5 of each.....
