johnnyb Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Not what we wanted to hear, Nemo...but thanks for checking. Apparently Minden got the most snow in that bout of lake effect stuff that pummelled Muskoka last week...128 cms is what I heard. Sucky, sucky, sucky.

Sinker Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Don't believe everything they tell you. Your better to go for a drive and see for yourself. I've been told by them before that there was no safe ice, only to go up with no fishing gear, and find plenty of ice over 6" thick. I'm sure the big lakes are ice free, but some of the small back lakes are probably doable now. S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singingdog Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 The snow was very localised. Minden got about 12o cms, but Haliburton Forest got very little out of the same storm. The north end of Haliburton Lake only got about 10 cms. It's -22 here this morning, and most lakes right around Haliburton have very little snow on top of the ice. I would imagine there will be lots of small lakes with enough ice by this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paully Posted December 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 Has anyone ventured out on the ice yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singingdog Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 Some folks have been out on a small lake just down the road from me. I don't know the thickness, but I will check it today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 sounds like I just might get out before the new year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the thickness, but I will check it today. When you say small lake do you mean large pond? The lake i fish is not very big but its fairly long. The deepest part is 60-80 feet but most of the lake is about 30 -40 ft. Jan. 1st is just around the corner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
