AddieH 6 Report post Posted January 24, 2021 Anyone know the ice conditions at silver harbour?

2112 174 Report post Posted January 24, 2021 No chance its safe. Freezes late, gonna be later this year. When it does freeze (if it freezes) ive caught whitefish all around the area between the island and breakwall, herring too under the ice. If your feeling tough walk way out, find the 90ftish flat and catch lakers. Havent fished there since i got a sled but I had some really good days our there, particularly for lakers.

bin fishin lots 125 Report post Posted January 24, 2021 Im gonna concur with 2112. Also a couple ice ridges form out there. Bad one being around st Mary Island. I fell threw one year not very far from the island. Scary experience. If you manage to get out its a long run in frozen gear back to the truck! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MtBaldyHillbilly 2 Report post Posted January 25, 2021 Took a cruise today...figured I should share the view. Looks perhaps a bit more solid toward the island.. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pound 4 Pound 28 Report post Posted January 25, 2021 On the east side of caribou bays end looked all locked up but on the south side of caribou there is ice and open water. With a good wind that ice in bays end would be washed to shore. Be careful and don't take the chance go fishing else where lots of bodies of water frozen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adam_k 19 Report post Posted January 28, 2021 Was out yesterday afternoon and the ice is starting to form there were a few people out skating a 3-4 hundred yards straight out from the point of the break wall ( little to far if you ask me) I walked out a couple hundred feet to the left of the dock there 3-4” of ice off the dock to the left someone had walked out before me looked like they fished. Not to long now with this cold weather and no wind 🤞and walking out may be good. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AddieH 6 Report post Posted January 31, 2021 Was out today just for a look. People everywhere. Crews fishing from break wall all the way to the island and beyond. Looks like 5-6” for the first 200 yards out or so. After that I can’t comment about ice. But it’s as far as I can see... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jbzobes 6 Report post Posted February 1, 2021 ...six inches of ice between the launch and Mary's...There was 2 groups probably 500 feet past Mary's...the first ice ridge that forms in the same place just a short ways out is still quite small...only 2 sleds, but lots of walk on's yesterday...about 8 pop up huts... 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JGriffin 26 Report post Posted February 4, 2021 Was out yesterday and fished before the ridge, solid 6inches of ice. Lots of people out skating and such. Solid day and I was able to bring one in! Released it as well. 14 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its an appealing spot since its close and easy to bring the kids. You can fish really anywhere around there from my experience. I guess depending what you are going for but I got that rainbow probably a 3 min walk out and have gotten lake trout there with in a 20 min walk out. If it's your first time bring out the kids be aware the ice is always making loud noises and making cracking noises. Still safe but could be scary for them. Lol I see grown adults jump and scurry off the ice when it happens. Hope you get out. 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I was out today and got one lake trout and missed 3 lol it was rough , my buddy got 2 and lost a burbot. This year has been awesome the 2x I have been out. I was beyond the two ice ridges, prob 15 -20 min walk out or so. Might be a harder walk for your little one. But like it was mentioned before if you stay before the ice ridge there is still a chance at fish. Spoke to a one group and a smaller salmon was caught apparently not too far from shore. Hope you get out! 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
