How about Roche? The boys from work are going up on the weekend of the 30th. Anyone fished there? Is the ice off? Has it turned?

Thanks,
Brad

any ideas of when Tunkwa will turn? Ice off was 2-3 days ago i am heading up there Friday for 2 days i hope i dont hit it at the wrong time!

Roche is still 90% covered

tunkwa hasn't turned yet, might be few good days of fishing before it happens, if the wind stays away. after that it will be 2 weeks before its back.

leaving for Tunkwa now, then checking Roche on fri.   sounds like I'm trolling around the slab of ice at Roche. 

Stump might be finished turning.

I will report Sun.

Up at Leighton on the weekend and fishing was good for some and horrible for others........ Majority of the fish were taken on chronies in 3-8 feet of water.

Roche is 100% ice free as of Friday afternoon. Bleeker started turning on Friday as did Rose.
Black and Ernst are still Iced and look like they will need another 3-5 days. There was TONS of wind at Roche, so if that was the same over the weekend, they make be close to being Ice free.

Roche should be into FULL turn by the long weekend, so if you are planning on heading up, you may want to call the resort on Thursday/Friday.

Tunkwa was slow, and of course windy.  
Most fish were caught in the shalows and were very small.
larger fish in the middle trolling with the wind. but only hooked into 1 or 2 a day.

Leighton was good but we never put the boats in.  
hanging worms from shore like we were kids again. anything to get out of the Tunkwa wind.

never made it to Roche, but its ice free.
any reports from Roche

I was there all weekend with 5 other guys.

We Did VERY well with all of us having 30-50 fish Days. Most of the fish were 12-16", but there were also many fish in the 18-24" range caught by us as well.
All fish were caught in 3-5' of water in the shallows. The fish were just crusing in and out from the deeper water into the shallows to feed, and there were times that the sounder was constantly beeping.
Phil Rowley and Brian Chan were there as well, and like them we were all either fishing under an indicator, or casting and doing a VERY slow strip with a Leech on a Floating line.

Fishing was good for many others, but I figure by the look of the lake that it will start it's turn by late week so the weekend might be shot. I would call the resort before heading up for the long weekend.
