Anybody live in the area or been there recently? Gonna go with the family for a little hike there and wondering if it's fishable or frozen over?
-
Well apparently people were skating on it a week or two back (or so i was told) so unless you're ice fishing... i'd go with unfishable atm :P
-
Frozen, saw too many people walking on the lake today despite weak ice conditions. I noticed some folks had poked holes in the ice at the wharf, doing some ice fishing?
-
K thanks guys, any other suggestions for shore fishing lakes in greater Vancouver right now?
-
Burnaby or deer lake. Should b okay.

Burnaby lake is iced over (the western two thirds of the lake is), the eastern third had some open water patches when I was there on christmas day.
-
What about Browning lake in Murrin Park, just a few clicks before Squamish - any ideas of ice-over conditions there?
-
I would assume it's iced over up there. But it would be nice to know before venturing out for sure.
That said, some other (better?) options than fishing along the highway could be the Alice Lake area, Stump, Fawn or Edith Lakes? Been years since I've been up there, but it was beautiful then and had lots of aggressive 10-14" trout. If i'm not mistaken, one of the lakes has had sunfish dumped in there by some moron(s) and there were cutties stocked to see if they could control the population.

If i'm not mistaken, one of the lakes has had sunfish dumped in there by some intelligent and respectable human being(s) and there were cutties stocked to see if they could control the population.
Those lakes are all frozen.
