Haliburton Ice conditions ?

[davew3]

Hey folks, with this sunny warm weather and I hear it is going up to 12 next week I am wondering just how much ice is in the highlands ?

 

We are supposed to be going in at the end of the month to do some trout fishing but I am wondering if we will be able to ?

 

Any info would be appreciated.

Happy New Years to all. Be safe on the ice.

~~~~I know Gull Lake has a lot of open water, and large slushy areas, farther N. there is a lot more snow about 2' on the lakes which means very thin ice, and a lot of slush, under the snow. You might check with Terry at Eagle Lake Adventures, or Minden bait and Tackle, Norland Tackle Shop has the best bait in the area, on Hwy 35, and has up to date reports

Was on 12Mile Lake over Christmas. 5-6in of ice. By the 28th the shore ice was very slushy for the first 8-10ft. Without a good cold snap I think it'll be pretty sketchy out there. Esp. on the main lake sections.

Hi Jigger: Where on 12 did you check the ice? We're on Little Bosh & I'm hoping to head up the 26th (or so); if there's 6" now, sounds like I'm good for then.
