Waterfowlr Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Hey Guys and Girls Anybody else ready for some Ice fishing?? I gotta say, I am so ready for it. This time of year is great for the hunting..but I do really enjoy some ice fishing. Just talking with a buddy...we were throwing out dates we thought we might have ice. We are near Simcoe...but always like to get around different areas! My prediction this year is that we will be able to get out on some of the smaller bodies on Dec. 23rd. Simcoe I say Dec 29th in Cooks! Gotta love first ice!! Anyone else got a guess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Caster Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 I'd be happy if Nipissing were safe by Jan 1st. At this point, it doesn't look likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rizzo Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 I've ice fished at our cottage near Parry Sound regularly around Dec 15, but I think we'll be a bit behind that this year. Dec 27 for Cooks Bay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillM Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Way too much steelheading to be done to be thinking of ice fishing just yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Last year, Christmas Day was our first venture onto the ice on Buckhorn, walking of course. Musta been about 2 weeks after that we were driving on Chemong. It doesn't take long once we get a stretch of cold weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigugli Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 We were on Couch the 27th lasy year. This warm trend will hold the line a little later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris.brock Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 it felt like summer this afternoon, I read in the paper today, Scandanavia is warm and without snow, they are complaining about no snow for skiing I remember one year in the late 80's, it was this weekend (last in Nov) and we were snowmobiling on 8 inches of clear ice and a foot of powder snow on a smaller lake (Haliburton County), weather is variable but I think we are feeling some of the affects of global warming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Cliff Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 I predict ice in about 3 minutes and 27 seconds. Just long enough to finish typing this and get to the fridge with a nice shot of rye. Oh wait, you were talking about ice to walk on! Sorry! I guess this doesn't count!

GBW Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 I guess my folks lake will be dec 19 for it to have a GOOD layer of ice. not just a frost. but if the wind keeps going the way it is then the 24th. I'll be there on new years eve and with luck, perching while I'm there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 Last day Muskie fishing last year was Dec 15th. First day Ice fishing last year was Dec 16th. The scary part??? They were both on Rice Lake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappieperchhunter Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 I will be icing perch either on Coooch or Simcoe Dec 17/18 weekend....possibly Dec 10/11 That's been the norm for over 10 years now. Don't see that changing. Christmas week I'm always on my 3rd 4th or 5th trip out. Last year Cooch had 7 plus inches of ice by Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were both on Rice Lake! Sounds like my last ice fishing Ron. I have been walking on the ice on Simcoe on a Saturday and on another part of the lake the next day in my boat. A perfect spring weekend is Simcoe ice in the am...eastern trib rainbows in the afternoon...and then out in the boat on Simcoe the following day :thumbsup_anim: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remastered Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 (edited) Yeah, too much steelheading to be done. I'll worry about the ice when the weather actually gets icy. But I won't lie, I think of it every now and then Edited November 26, 2011 by Remastered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
