AmateurHourAngling 49 Report post Posted January 17, 2019 I’ve heard that a few people were out and got into some steelhead while fishing for whitefish. Cannot confirm any truths to that as I heard down the line of other people. Anyone else been out? Quote -JADEN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2112 174 Report post Posted January 18, 2019 I saw on the ice chart it has entered "medium ice" only today but still feels early. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brookiebuster 117 Report post Posted January 18, 2019 People I know have been fishing there for 2 weeks or so. Action looked good, not sure on ice conditions enough for a sled. Quote "Whack em' and stack em',kill em' and grill em'" Ted Nugent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
klatown 3 Report post Posted January 19, 2019 How thick? Do you mean unsafe for sleds or walking? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AmateurHourAngling 49 Report post Posted January 22, 2019 How is the ice in terms of sleds? Heard too many different stories, any credible info would be appreciated! Quote -JADEN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2112 174 Report post Posted January 23, 2019 I went out today, lots of ice but I don't know for how far out. We went at least 500m out and it was more than 10". Lot of herring up high but not to much else came to look. Fished 28ft for whitefish with no luck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnZ 66 Report post Posted January 23, 2019 ^^Also very little smelt movement today. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AmateurHourAngling 49 Report post Posted January 23, 2019 Out right now, 1.3km as per Navionics and measured 12” before the ridge. Haven’t gone over it yet. Quote -JADEN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Around 4pm we started seeing smelt on the flashers. We were in 26-28 feet, last year they were all over all day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Winter parking around there is a safety hazard in my opinion between people fishing on Pass Lake and those sledding down Sare Rd. to Lake Superior. Hopefully the MTO widens out the road there someday. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes and be careful how you position your truck if you park on the road opening part, I’ve heard quite a few stories of multiple people coming back to their vehicles and finding that their truck has a smashed up front end from people flying around the corner and then taking off. Fishing’s been hit or miss! Tight lines! Quote -JADEN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2112 174 Report post Posted February 1, 2019 Went out today, good foot of ice but I didn't go out farther then where most people were obviously fishing. Ice was less platey than last time. What was most exciting was catching my very first rainbow under the ice. What a thrill, thing just hammered it. Once I got it up on the ice, in all the thrashing it broke the eye ring! Luckily it was already landed. Waves of herring are steady if you jig lots. No whitefish though (my target), thought I had one but it was just a deep water herring. Fished 30ft. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mattyice 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2019 I thought Sare Road was a private driveway? Saw a gate with a "no trespassing" sign on it and I just assumed that there was a path off of the one going to Sleeping Giant that you had to go down. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The purple area in the image is one big private lot (Vigars property) with the house at the end of the road. Sleeping Giant Provincial Park land to the east and south (no motorized vehicles). I believe that the owner only puts up with snowmobiles accessing the lake in the winter but maybe someone else knows the "official" word..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2112 174 Report post Posted March 18, 2019 Open to snow mobiles as long as it's respected. The sign says no ATVs. If garbage and a ripped up road begin showing up im not sure if he can actually shut it down or not. Just respect the access the access as always.

Trout Wrangler 13 Report post Posted March 26, 2019 Hows the ice? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2112 174 Report post Posted March 26, 2019 I left it covered in whitefish blood. Did you mean thickness? Oh! Well thats about 2.5 ft. Sares will probably be down to stone soon though because some wanker tore it all up on an ATV. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2112 174 Report post Posted April 6, 2019 Anyone going out to Bays End be cautious of the 6 foot hole in the middle of the ice. Looks like ground water bubbling up as there are actually bubbles pulsing up. Ice all around it was getting quite dark. Zoom in on photo and you will see it. Stay alert, Stay safe!
