foggynotions Posted January 5, 2010 Report Posted January 5, 2010 I posted this in another thread, but I figure I would post it in its own thread and anyone in the area can add to it as the hardwater season progresses! Just some more lake conditions for the Sault Ste Marie / Ranger Lake / Highway 129 area: Ranger Lake - 12" as of Sunday smack dab in the middle of the lake more around 8" some slush spots along the south shore Penelope Lake - 10-12" all over some small pockets of slush Desbarats Lake - 8" slushy and some open water going into the cut by Barbers Side Road Wakomata Lake - Unknown - was there for the long weekend, still no one fishing it.. just recently froze over Damn Lake - (north of Wakomata) slushy in spots with some open water in the back bay but where the trail comes on end of the lake 10" Appleby Lake - (Hwy 129) hut on the lake and lots of sled tracks not sure of ice depths Cummings Lake - 8" at the point off of Hwy 129 about 6 people fishing around 100ft out in the normal spot Saymo Lake - 10" and slush pockets at different areas of the lake and still open water at the swamp near the domtar end of the lake I didn't get to all these spots but I was told by numerous friends and people that have been fishing. Hope this helps! Len

archie_james_c Posted January 7, 2010 Report Posted January 7, 2010 Almost forgot to report. There is 7" of SOLID ice on Rock right now. As for the fishing...we got skunked...not even a pike. I for one blame Worm Dangler.

Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted January 7, 2010 Report Posted January 7, 2010 my friends did well on bright today. a mix bag of walleye and pike. i'm pretty sure they limited out on liquor as well.
redneck666 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Posted January 7, 2010 heyyy look at that! only people from the A.D. have posted haha.
troutologist Posted January 7, 2010 Report Posted January 7, 2010 (edited) Algoma Swill, lets do it boys. There were the solid beginnings of one every saturday night last winter through steelhead season, nothing like the post fishing wing nuts session Actually starts anytime the Northgate Shopping Plaza is open eh Luc....

Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted January 7, 2010 Report Posted January 7, 2010 you know, some days, the beer actually tastes better when you buy it in montreal river.
Dara Posted January 7, 2010 Report Posted January 7, 2010 always up for a swill...even though I don't drink
Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted January 8, 2010 Report Posted January 8, 2010 the quote of the day will be: We didn't catch any fish but we sure did catch a buzz!
bigugli Posted January 8, 2010 Report Posted January 8, 2010 heyyy look at that! only people from the A.D. have posted haha. That's because I've been too busy crying in my beer. Loved the Sault area when I was younger. Haven't been back in 25 years.
redneck666 Posted January 8, 2010 Report Posted January 8, 2010 That's because I've been too busy crying in my beer. Loved the Sault area when I was younger. Haven't been back in 25 years. no kidding eh? i just moved back here 3 years ago after being away in oshawa and bowmanville for 12 or 13 years. i dont really think a whole lot has changed, besides the good ol' trails and where you can fish.
foggynotions Posted January 11, 2010 Author Report Posted January 11, 2010 Three new lakes to report South Anvil Lake - 15-16" solid good ice, very windswept no slush North Anvil Lake - 15-16" solid good ice, very windswept no slush no slush Mystery Lake - 15-16" solid good ice, very windswept no slush no slush On a side note, - For those of you that know the Anvil's the beaver dam area was pretty solid and the trail around is a bit sketchy because of a lack of snow - Saymo Lake where you enter the swamp was also solid, we broke trail up and onto the domtar road (which is awesome, snowy and not plowed)
pike slayer Posted January 11, 2010 Report Posted January 11, 2010 right on ssmfishingguy!! i wouldnt be worried about going anywhere now. just look out for river mouths and current. lakes are solid and enough snow for a sled!
archie_james_c Posted January 11, 2010 Report Posted January 11, 2010 right on ssmfishingguy!! i wouldnt be worried about going anywhere now. just look out for river mouths and current. lakes are solid and enough snow for a sled! Ask Dr. Sal if theres a lake or two with not enough ice on it
Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted January 11, 2010 Report Posted January 11, 2010 ice is never totally safe! there was lots of ice 2 feet away from where my foot went through.
