This was the first time I had ever gone ice fishing for perch and I was very proud of my first catch!!

Any ice reports for Pigeon yet? Hoping it'll thicken up nicely with the colder temps this week.

Pigeon Lake resembles many other lakes in Alberta with its large area and relatively shallow depth. These conditions provide great habitat for walleye, northern trout, and lake whitefish, with walleye particularly abundant in these waters. Please ensure you are familiar with the provincial fishing regulations before heading out. The lake has seen some changes in the past several years. At present, a tag system is in place for catching walleye. Try a jighead with a minnow for starters. This may be all you need for a lot of action. Interestingly, commercial licenses were issued for Pigeon Lake in the 1920’s with a market for its fish in New York and Chicago. After only a few years, licenses were no longer issued as stocks became heavily depleted. Stocks replenished returning Pigeon Lake to the healthy fishery we know today. In the summer months, blue-green algae sometimes grows. LAKE ACCESS Pigeon Lake is about 100 km southwest of Edmonton. There are several access points around the lake. Follow Hwy. 2 south to Hwy. 13. Turn right and continue along this road for about 25 km to the south end of Pigeon Lake. Ma-Meo Beach Provincial Park is located here. Alternatively, anglers can continue along Hwy. 13 to Secondary Hwy. 771 and turn right (north) leading to Pigeon Lake Provincial Park, 10 km from the turnoff. This park has overnight camping and a boat launch.

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
