Tim Geni gives his latest Buzz Bite Report on the ice conditions on Last Mountain Lake in Saskatchewan on January 2nd, 2024.
Last Mountain Lake: Saskatchewan: 1-2-2024
It has been a strange start to the ice fishing season so far and our ice conditions really vary across the province.
We’ve got as much as ten inches of ice out on Last Mountain Lake in Southern Saskatchewan, but there are definitely spots with less.
There are also a lot of ice heaves and cracks and you need to use extreme caution when venturing out on to the lake.
In Northern Saskatchewan the lakes have solid ice and there has been vehicle travel.
In Central Saskatchewan there are anglers taking 4-wheelers out onto Tobin Lake, but you’ll want to check the conditions as you go.
The walleye bite has been fantastic on Last Mountain Lake in Southern Saskatchewan.
Anglers can expect to catch lots of walleyes throughout the day with the best bite happening during the primetime hours.
Focus on main lake points and reefs.
Spoons tipped with minnow heads have been the best presentations, but you can also catch them on minnow profile baits like Rapala Jigging Raps.
The best colors have been blue, pink, and perch.
Anglers can also expect to run into a few northern pike and perch as well.
