gforce Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 A friend had invited me to go ice fishing on Simcoe last summer..... We picked January 27th for kicks! Well..... looks like we did not see this coming. Any projections of when the ice will be safe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 you didn't say what part of lake simcoe there should be places to fish on cooks bay by that date and there will be places to fish near orillia, snake island georgian island the following weekend but some parts of the lake may not have safe ice to well into feb. if at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwc67 Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 it depends on what your definition of safe is. mine is 4 inches and i will likely be on cooks bay that weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PERCHER Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 My guess would be the same as Terry's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickOnt Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 To-Day at the end of the Gilford Looking south it is ice as far as you can see!!! Looking to Crates there is about 200'-300' of ice then open water. Looking to the North there is ice out past Kon Tiki's Red and Green buoy. Then all open water. Right now -13C in Gilford and no wind and light snow. If the temps stay down and no wind we could be Perch fishing by the End of Jan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steverowbotham Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Cook's Bay is completely frozen over now, and Kempefelt Bay froze over last night. The ice is still not safe though. If this cold keeps up, you'll probably be okay to fish on the 27th. But please check with hut operators and bait shops before venturing out. Hopefully the ice will be good!
