Sioux Lookout Ice Conditions

Anyone know what the ice conditions are like up in Sioux Lookout?

I heard they just got a bunch of snow in dryden. I'm sure the ice is still on up there. It can take as long as May 10th to all go.

Probably still 20" of ice in Sioux Lookout area. Our temps recently have been dipping down to an average of -5C overnight, and only getting up to about +5C.

I do know Kenora got about 1 ft. of snow a couple days ago, saw pics from a guy living there.

But still, the ice has got to be getting soft. We were out fishing 2 weekends ago about 2 hrs. west of Thunder Bay and the ice surface was getting soft, even though there was 24-30 inches of ice on the lake. We didn't go ice fishing last weekend, but I am sure we could get one last walk in trip this coming weekend if we choose to.

It sounds like a late ice trip is questionable.

Thank you for the report.
