Tunkwa Lake is now completely ice-free as of this morning, one of the earliest in recent years. :)

Not a whole lot happening, so put together a video tutorial for anyone who wants to try fly fishing with the indicator at lakes for the first time this season. ;D

great photo... on the first look I didn't notice the boats with anglers almost obscured by falling snow.

Nice tunkwa rainbow too!

Thanks Ralph. Conditions of the fish are just perfect this year in that lake. It should be an excellent season for anyone who is heading up that way.

Tunkwa has a quite early ice off date this year. But it came with a long period of cold weather which slowed the early fishing epic. Bigger fish mostly stayed in deeper water. The hot action along shore weed line did not happen during my stay there.

Upon leaving the resort on Sunday, there are hundreds fish surfing and jumping at end of the resort bay right in front of the camp site. Some really nice size fish showed themselves.

I checked the resort bay every evening hoping that they'd go in there to feed but it was empty during my entire stay. I love fishing in there!

Can Tunkwa be access for single day use or do you have to go thru the resort.  The parks website shows the  provincial campground is partially closed.  Want to camp and fish different lakes but Tunkwa resort has a 3 night minimum stay which kinda sucks if you want to check out different lakes.

Day access/boat launch to Tunkwa is through the day use area on the south end of the lake. No overnight camping there. The Provincial Park on the north end of Tunkwa is available for camping by the night, no reservations though. The North Leighton campground is still closed.

Thanks, we just got back and can confirm No Drinkable water available. For others unsure , Pack it with you.
Fish were biting , but this trip the winds kept us off the lake for a lot of it.
oh well.
