With the less than stellar forecast for southern Alberta on Saturday I thought we would head up to Chain Lake for the day. A picnic and some sight fishing along the shoreline was the plan. The weather on the drive up looked promising with a little sun peaking through here and there, but I started to have doubts when I saw ice still on Baptiste Lake. Sure enough, Chain Lake was still locked in winters icy grip.

A few other vehicles with boats arrived while we were there in hopes of some open water angling - but like us, they left dejected.

There was a narrow strip of open water along the shore and I am guessing that with this weeks warmer weather, next weekend may see the lake ice free.
