Title: Ice fishing Merritt 11 Mar 2017
Post by: psd1179 on March 14, 2017, 01:28:50 PM
Went to Merritt and fished Kane Valley lakes on 11 Mar. A little snow during noon time. Temperature was mild. I was sweating after drilling holes. The ice was one foot six deep with 4 inches snow on top of.

It took five minute to get the first bite. But the bite was on and off until I finally found a honey hole. Pull out 20+ fish in a couple of hours. Fish were in 8-11 inches range. No big one.

Those lakes are open to ice fishing?

The regs are your friend.

Upper Kane, Lower Kane, and Englishmen are closed but all the others in the Kane Valley are open.
