Stopped in on our way back from the mountains hoping to catch dinner but shore access is minimal, too many weeds to get hooked on. Would not recommend trying to shore fish here.

First time fishing this lake. Any locals have any tips?

Nice pike 8 lb

Chip lake Ab 6 lb ice is about 8 inch only about 6 good inches

Just wondering if anyone has an ice report of Chip Lake?

Pike and burbot are the big draws to Chip Lake. Concentrate on the river inlet and outlet. Pike love the shallows if there is an easy meal, and spring is an excellent time to get in on this action. Later in the season, work on the weed beds. Pike will hang out there, waiting to ambush their prey. Make sure the line is tough enough for these sharp-toothed strikers. For burbot, small fish and aquatic insects are the order of the day. Winter ice fishing is ideal for burbot. Regulations for Chip Lake allow dead fish for bait. Minnows are a good choice for pike and burbot. Check out the Angler’s Atlas page for Chip Lake. Several members have posted markers that show the location of hot spots, as well as some awesome fishing tips! See www.anglersatlas.com/place/101841/chip-lake. LAKE ACCESS Chip Lake Park is located about halfway between Edmonton and Edson near the community of Wildwood. Turn north off of Hwy. 16 on Green Court Road (Range Road 92) to Township Road 544 and then 8 km west until reaching Chip Lake Park.

Well, it’s a new year and ice fishing in Alberta is in full swing. There are a lot of lakes close to Edmonton that are very productive in the wintertime. Here are just a few! https://www.anglersatlas.com/blog/top-5-ice-fishing-spots-in-the-edmonton-area

Hey there! We just finished putting together our first ice fishing mag. It includes this and 22 other lakes with winter specific descriptions and access info as well as an updated map. Limited supply so grab one at one of these Canadian Tire stores: https://goo.gl/DgwYg4

This Northern Pike aka...

This Northern Pike aka Jackfish came after my 5 of diamonds with a smelt at an incredible pace but the shallow waters of Chip lake and thick I've made it easy to quickly turn his head up the hole for a quick but enjoyable fight!

Basic

Ling Fishing

We are wondering if anybody has caught any Ling here yet? We have tried a couple times with no luck thus far. We have heard and seen a few people have caught some little ones but they don't seem to be started on the major season just yet. They are the ugliest fish I have ever seen, but man oh man they are the tastiest!
