Ice fishing Merritt 11 Mar 2017
« 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.
http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/fw/fish/regulations/docs/1517/fishing_synopsis_2015-17_region3.pdf

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