Cook's Bay & Holland River Ice Condition

[Steelcat]

Went up to the Cook's Bay area today and tried to find out the ice condition

Here are some of the photo I've taken. As you can see there are still some ice. About a foot of water on top of thick ice in the shades, very thin ice where there are sunshine.

How long do you guys think it will take? A few more days? Oh geezz....i'm itching to be catching something...some nice spring slabs would be awesome!

The problem right now is night time is below zero. Even in downtown Toronto, there are thin sheet of ice in the morning. Hopefully the rain that's coming on Sunday will be able to melt most of them. But from the long range forcast temperature is going to fall again.... Hopefully the weather forcast is wrong as usual I'd say give the water at least a week, probably two weeks.

 

Here is a pic of my jerkbait laying on a the thin sheet of ice this morning in downtown Toronto.
