opening day

[engineman]

Does that mean that you think all the ice will be off by Saturday?  Last I heard, it wasn't looking good out at the Strap.

It'll open enough to fish from shore...and if we get a couple of good winds it might even be good for boats, but just barely

[eyefriendly]

 I've heard that the fishing can be pretty good at Craven just down stream of the fish ladder(you have to stay a certain distance either upstream or downstream because it is considered a dam).

eyefriendly, if the fish ladder is the structure a few miles west of Craven -  is closed February 28 to May 16 as part of the            Southern Zone          Special Regulations            Last Mountain Lake   in the Anglers' Guide. It took me awhile to figure this out ( thanks buzzbomb ) otherwise this is where my opening day was to be spent. Thinking about Condie Resivoir along Highway # 11.

Hi all,

For me my opening day on Sat. May 9th.
I though I would try some evening fishing.

Spot 1 yeilded no fish, so, after an hour I moved to spot 2.
I met a family coming in from fishing who said they hadn't even have a single bite all afternoon.
Not good news.

I too had poor luck, except for this little guy.

This would be my only catch of the day,lol. 
Next time I hope they are alot bigger.

These two grebes decided to check and see if I had the right bait.


A final shot as the sun set.
