Can you boat in this lake?

Ice off yet?

Still 32%u201D good ice last Thursday, so it'll be awhile yet.

Hello. If anyone could post when the ice is off that would be awesome. I'm in need of some fishing. Haha

o okay thanks

The lake is open year round. Only tributaries are closed.

Anybody know why the lake is closed this year

Has anyone driven on across the lake or at the far end of the point ?

Anybody out fishing today or last few days ? Can a guy drive on with out getting stuck ?

Has anybody else caught burbot out of carson since they managed to get into the Lake?

Can't drive very far on ice. Too much snow. Trucks kept getting stuck. Bring shovels if trying to venture out onto ice. No fish in 6 hours Sunday. 4 other trucks in boat launch area. Didn't see anybody catch fish all day. Fish cops out on sleds checking for licences and Sunday beer drinkers.

Any body know some good baits for the sucker Fish?

Lots of snow getting in and onto the lake. If you dont have good tires and 4x4 dont bother trying

Fished 6 hours - caught 6 released 2. Slow but beats sitting at home doin chores lol.

How's the fishing? We are thinking of going out this weekend?

I use a small jig with a small pc. shrimp on it

What is everyone using for bait ? Would like to take my kids out but I haven't fished for trout much so not sure what to use . Thanks

How's the fishing

Ice Report: 2 ft

Is the ice at Carson lake walkable yet ???

Best to troll really slow. Use Ford fender (flasher) and trail about 4 feet of 4 lb line. Attach a spinner with a single small trout hook. Add a real trout worm. You should be on trout right off the boat launch.

anyone can share how your catch at Carson for rainbow?

Sorry my bad i didn't see you wrote bait fish.

Cajed1 might want to take another look at the regs there bud it says specifically that bait is allowed at Carson....

That's actually Pegasus lake or Little McLeod lake. Also on IFish. Carson or McLeod has no pike.

Anybody no the top bait out there lately

Wow

I've been fishing Carson for 8 years and only last year I caught 2 suckers all year and this year caught eight and watched 12 more being caught beside me.There's obviously too many of them and needs to be thinned out some.The fishing wildlife officer was telling people to kill'em and throw away.That would explain why I seen a few in the garbage where I was fishing.

Travis z....dude why would you kill suckers for no reason those are native to almost all alberta water bodies...though they are not a game fish and are classified as a bait fish....they are not an invasive species sir and they actually eat alot of the algae and sediment in the lakes (bottom feeding fish) where as the trout in here are stocked, and cannot reproduce in this lake...please be careful i know you are only trying to help but please research before taking action :(

The trout are actually the invasive species here, not native and stocked. Suckers have always been in this lake, well befor stocking of trout. Just because you don't like them doesn't mean they don't have a valuable place in the ecosystem. Do some research on the subject you might surprise yourself.

Caught 2 trout and 8 suckers!! Kill'em and throw them away.They should have some signs out as they're an invasive speci to the lake....

long weekend and lots of people; most on shore fishing with about 15 boats out; worms were the trick for me today but fish were not aggressive. Lots of bait thieves. Kept 2 nice ones

Yay! Good to know, heading out this long weekend. Got me all excited now! Thanks for the info!

Well went there Sunday May 14. Open water caught my limit and left. Action all day

On May 6th there was about 1/2 a foot of free water around the edge, lots of cracks in the ice and and water/rain dimpling. Still looked quite thick (you could stand on it with minor movement).

Was it at least rotting? I really want to go sunday

Completely covered this weekend

So does anyone know if the ice is off?

Hey, fished here in January and it was real good. Wondering if the ice is off as we are getting a new boat soon and looking for some good early season trout fishing

12lb trout from carson?
