Birch Lake is a small backcountry body of water. Located west of Sundre and Caroline in central Alberta Canada. This is a popular trout lake as it is stocked with Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout as well as Brook Trout. This is a foot access lake only, no vehicles are permitted down onto the ice. There is a tiny parking lot available, and a large sloped, icy hill to trek up and down to the lake.
As we scanned around the frozen Birch Lake, there were a handful of other groups trying their luck at ice fishing. Slow day all day according to other fisherman.
Definitely be careful while ice fishing always. Definitely on the ponds and lakes with aeration systems. We have a lot of fish die in the summer and winters due to oxygen levels. The aerator helps keep them healthy and alive. Watch for thin ice
As we were packing up to leave, the sun was setting. It looked beautiful against the hill between the lake and parking lot. It's quite icy coming and going, so be careful!
