Laker272 Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Heading up to the london area on business from Monday to Wednesday, I see a Fanshawe Lake up that way. Is there any icefishing opportunities on this lake. I just want to know if I should bring my gear, or leave it at home. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FisherMike Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 it is a man made lake. the deepest part is about 40 feet. ive ice fished there mulitiple times. last i heard there is still a good 12 inches, however with these warm temps forecasted you'll definitely want to be be careful around the edges. the lake gets very good ice, just stay away from the dam. as for fish, there are walleye, pike, perch, LM and SM bass as well as carp and sunnies etc. be careful out there.

FisherMike Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 (edited) i should also mention that the temps in london for the next few days are well above zero. if you do decide to go id definitely bring a spud to check the ice and i wouldnt recommend going alone.

Laker272 Posted March 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Sounds like my best bet would be to skip it. Oh, that hurts. It will be after dark before I would get there so I think it may be wiser to stay off. Thanks for the input guys, you may have just saved me a soaker.

scugpg Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Not sure what you're after but there's lots of opportunity in the river around London as well. Hopefully we don't get a huge rain though as it'll blow everything out for quite a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shane Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Walleyes come up the river from Lake Erie and should be showing up in the London area by now. Any where downstream from the city is good. But you better check the regulations because I think there is a ban on walleye fishing in some sections now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
