Delong Lake is fine for drilling. I saw a couple nice rainbows caught and some small burbot and silvers just an hour ago. Shrimp and crawlers.

In the valley there is an annual limit of 10-20" rainbows from stocked lakes and 2-20" rainbow from lakes not stocked according to what I read in the regs. Don't know about an ice road on Big Lake, that seems a bit early but I did see a small car on Lucille Lake on Sat.

I was at Southport Marina on Friday. no ice road and no-one had been on the ice. I saw 5 drilled holes about 40' away from shore. we measured them and there was 7" of ice.

The State usually measures but this is not really a priority for them because they say that budget cuts and other oblgations take them away from this. I guess that safety is not a priority for them and we will have to rely on each other to make sure the ice is safe. Checkout the ice safety video http://www.exn.ca/video/?Video=exn20020325-icewater.asx

Be SAFE

Just curious what part of the lake might be good and if anyone has any tips for catching the Pike there in the winter time. I am looking forward to trying it.
