I talked to a buddy yesterday on Temagami and he said that they have stopped driving their vehicles on the ice as of Sunday, but were still using sleds and ATV's on the ice......PLAY SAFE!!

irishfield Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Yep ice road from the mine landing to Bear Island is closed to all vehicle traffic. Sleds/Atv's only now...Nip was frozen long before the hub of Lake Temagami though...so Nipissing may be in better shape but I doubt it. I'd be calling your hut operator that you are heading to, or one real close to where you are going if you are not using one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishingguy28 Posted January 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 were using an operator, but i don't know how confident i feel in that either.... apparently the truck that went through nip was that of an operators... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernie Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 He is an operator. Apparently he got off the trail in the fog and went through. In my opinion he shouldn't have taken that truck out there. Its a large truck with a diesel engine. Too heavy. Unfortunate but I'm glad he's OK, he's a good fellow. The ice never did get too good in the area he went down. There was quite a bit of snow around the islands during the cold and prevented good ice formation.

Carl Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 I would suggest contacting your outfitter, some have cancelled for the week. It has been raining for about 48 hrs here and the snow is going fast. On the bright side, the temp. is dropping, flurries outside with 5cm of snow predicted. Last Friday there was 20cm of good ice in the mouth of the French River, with 30cm in many areas. I wont be out this weekend, but I live here so I can wait for another weekend. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_hooked Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 The ice conditions at the West end of Nipissing are horrible.......! There is absolutely no one out on the ice today. (Normally this time of the year there can be at least 50 cars parked by the bridge... accessing the lake). Creeks are flowing at higher than normal spring run off levels... and large leads are opening up on the lake...... The weather is still above the freezing point here.... My quess is we need at least a week of cold weather before ice is safe to travel on again...... Stay dry all........! the cap't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mufasa001 Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 How about the conditions on Callandar Bay? Supposed to go there the first week of February. Taking the family on their first ice fishing adventure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernie Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 (edited) Picked this from another board. This is Callander Bay. Doesn't look to good right now. Hopefully get a cold snap soon. Lots of reports of blown away shacks on Nipissing too. Edited January 9, 2008 by Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
