irishfield Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 There's no ice on Temagami yet.. not even anything up at Simon's in Dryden. Might be this week though... -8 each night. Georgian Bay water temp is currently 46.3 F as of yesterday afternoon. Weird year for sure.. we drove the truck out to the camp on Dec 22nd last year.. wont' be happening this year TFSure !

bigugli Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 Timing freeze up in the Haliburtons is like shooting craps. We've had good ice by Christmas one year, and no snow or ice til February the next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singingdog Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 No ice at all yet. Most years, Jan 1 would be a bit dicey for getting on most of the lakes in this area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 See for yourself.. http://www.halcom.ca/haliburton_static.php No ice or snow by the looks of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmer Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Best to hope for no snow before the lakes freeze to a good thickness. I have been hesitant to go out on opening for the last couple of years due to the amount of snow. You get 3-4" of ice then a foot of snow, which makes for a lot of slush and weight on top of the ice. I was out in the boat a week ago fishing for lakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paully Posted November 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Last year i was up in wilberforce for new years and the lake had 4-6 inches of good solid ice with no snow on top.. hopefully things freeze up sooner than later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singingdog Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 We are going to need some good cold nights before any ice forms. Water temps are still above 40C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmer Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 That means I might still get out in the boat this weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paully Posted December 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 If the lake has open water by january 1st... is it ok to fish for them out of a boat of does it have to be through the ice?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishfield Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 but during the "ice" season you can use 2 rod's... Not necessarily.. check the exceptions. MANY lakes with a one rod limit in 15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Wayne, was still thinking zone 16 and Scugog so you are correct. The new book is out on Jan 1 2010 according to the zone 17 update pdf shorelunch...

BeRad3000 Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 We would have to launch your boat by the culvert. You wouldn't want to drive in even if we could. Getting trapped there would suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singingdog Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Well, as is so often the case, I was wrong. 3 nights ago ice started forming on smaller lakes and sheltered bays. The forecast looks good, with more cold nights on the way. A small lake just down the road from my place went from entirely open one night to completely skimmed over with ice by then next morning.

Paully Posted December 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 With all the snow up there this week do you think it will hamper the ice making process? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 It will stop it dead in it's, or should I say your, tracks.... unless it pushed the ice down and the water has flooded the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemo Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Just called Minden Bait and Tackle (705) 286-4826. The news was not good. They stated there was no ice yet that was safe. They also said the snow they got last week has put a damper on ice production as predicted. The estimate was a few weeks..... Hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
