Jer Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) It's certainly not gonna be around here (Kawarthas). Whatever little bit of shoreline ice we had building since the weekend just got wiped out overnight with the rain and warm wind. It's not looking good for the next while either: Peterborough 14 day forecast Edited December 15, 2011 by Jer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nipfisher Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) There MAY be safe ice (4") on some small lakes by the 26th around North Bay.......but I doubt it. My guess for 6" of safe ice is MINIMALLY North of Temagami. 3 hours North of North Bay has plenty of ice. Kenogami Lake Here is the December 9th picture with the 1st hut out in the narrows. That was 6" then. May be 12-15" by now. Edited December 15, 2011 by Nipfisher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nipfisher Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) Just googled it. It is within the old "Diver" park. Off McConnell Lake Rd. Tons of lakes back there. I have fished 2 or 3 of them years ago and was skunked each time. From what I have heard there is alot of bait fish in those lakes making the bite difficult. I just spoke to a buddy that was there last winter. Perch only for them. Cabins are top notch, owners are great. He said it took them an hour to get in and 40 min. to get out. A lot longer then the 25 min. on the website. Edited December 16, 2011 by Nipfisher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassAsin Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 That was going to be my suggestion trax. a bunch of good lakes up there with good fishin. i have done quite well for all 4 trout species stocked in those lakes. there are also a few wallie lakes close by. ice should not be an issue up there by boxing day.

Rod Caster Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 You might want to fillet, season and cook that fish before you put it on your plate. Chef Ramsey would SNAP on you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
