It's darn cold out but I can't stay cooped up anymore. Was out on Monday on Waterhen and nailed quite a few Pike. Nothing big but quite a few. Tomorrow going to hit Green Lake (Sask ) cold or not can't take not being out on the water. Have the tent and heater so all will be good.

Will have a report tomorrow night.

 I'm ecstatic, just put the dog out , it's minus 5 , shirt sleeve
  weather ...in the pluses all next week....let me at them ...
   Good luck ...Walleye .....I'm pretty sure the ice is good .lmao
   

We didn't go out to Green today hit a different lake. Had not a bad day, didn't hit them hot and heavy but we managed a couple meals. Hit a few Pike lots small but kept a couple in the 3# range, 4 decent Perch and 2 Walleye that we kept. 1 50cm and 1 real nice one in the 5# range. It was cold though thank goodness for the tent and heater.

To answer your question sonny I run one of the old sunflower style heaters. Tent wise go to CT and look at the Woods tents, best bang for your buck. I run the Woods 4 man. It's bigger by 12" than any of competitors of the same size and $100 cheaper.

Thanks for the heads up on Green mike, appreciate it. I'll keep that in mind if I head that way ever.

Beauty fish.  When me and the wife move back to that Lloyd area I will reacquaint myself with many of those lakes just inside the alberta border.  Its busy up there but there is still a few hidden gems.  Theres one perch lake that very few fish anymore just south of pierceland that Ive heard the odd rumour about big perch in again.

Peck and LIttle fishing were always lakes that were ok for fishing but never great.  They have stocked them like crazy lately so the walleye fishing is getting better.  Ministikwan is a lake that can produce bigger fish on average than any of the other lakes in the area with the exception of upper makwa.  There is one little gem of a lake in there with virtually no access now and that's Branch Lake.  They are starting to build cabins on it so you can sled onto it now.  Theres some good eyes in there and when you can find them, there is some super tanker perch.  Millions of small ones but some honest jumbos to.  The other lake that we use to fish 15 years ago is Deer.  Use to have a good average size of perch that were 11 to 13 inches.  No one really fishes it anymore as its on the edge of the rez.  Dad and I were in there 4 years ago now and did alright on 11 and 12 inch perch but had more 10's than anything.

I see Deer lake was mentioned.  Many years ago, we used to get some really big perch out of there.  Honest 2 pounders, but never big schools them.  Some of the biggest perch I ever saw.  Perch lakes change though.

Looks like lots of structure in there as well mike, looks very interesting. May have to give it an early season try.

Problem with Deer is it's surrounded by a reserve, apparently something of the locals can get pretty territorial lol. Not worth the hassle for me, lots of places to fish.

           That's a really nice eye, sure looks healthy.  Can't beat that haul for the dead of winter,  not a lot of lakes left on the alberta side where you can take a nice mixed bag like that home.
