DRIFTER_016 Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 Well, It's a sad day around here as the temps creep upward and the sun is now up for 17 1/2 hours a day. All this sun and warmth is taking it's toll on our ice....................yeah, yeah, I know Boo Hoo!!!! Yesterday was my last day to drive my truck on the lake this winter as the landings are getting sketchy. :'( Now I'm going to have to haul my gear on foot, DOH!!!!! Here's the approach to the lake yesterday. It's starting to look a little soft in places. Luckily there is safe ice on both sides of this soft section to gain access to the safe 3 foot plus ice beyond. A random shot on the way to my favorite lake. Arctic Ice Porn!!! The Bounty!!!

Cheers Craig The camera is actually my 6 year old Olympus Stylus 300. One of these days I'll have to upgrade. It has taken a beating over the years and it's still kicking though.

irishfield Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Thanks for the ice report Dave. Now get out the flame thrower and onto open water.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIFTER_016 Posted May 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Thanks for the ice report Dave. Now get out the flame thrower and onto open water.... Open water, that's a novel idea. The only open water around is the Yellowknife River and part of Yellowknife Bay. The rest is mostly 3 1/2 to 4 feet of solid ice. The boat won't see service for another month or so. I will probably get the 'toon out on some smaller lakes sooer though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
