BOQ advice

[phiphntek]

Hi All,

Merry Christmas.The fellas and I are hitting the 401 EARLY Mon. morn.We are heading for Big Bay.Only one of us had fished there in the past, never on the ice.Just wondering about ice thickness (sleds or walking), access, parking etc.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

The ice around big island is very good! It was a good 5-6" last weekend so there should be much more than that now!

 

Always be safe, and check while you head out there, though.

Thanks Stoty....any advice on parking , access ?

From what I've seen, people park on the side of the road and just walk down. It's a pretty good hike as well.

As of Wednesday, there was maybe an inch or two of snow, not much at all. Makes for a slippery time though! I bailed a few times, flat out on my ! lol

Spikes are your friends!
