oldphart Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 ~~~Was speaking with Terry at Eagle Lake Adventure (1-705-754-1637)this morning and he says there have been guys out on Minner's Bay this the 28th, also Cedar Lake has 4". He reports most of the small lakes have about 6-4". but 8" of snow, and 4" of slush(I hate slush). So it looks like I'l be in Tim's in Minden at 06:30 Sunday to unload then heading out to explore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12footspringbok Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 I was in the Minden "area" on some very small lakes this morning. 3-4 inches of blue ice where I drilled today, lots of slush patches and any of the medium to large sizes lakes were either open or looked sketchy at best. I didn't go very far and had my picks around my neck ready. We need a few -20 in a row nights before things start to look "safe". Good luck on your tour.

rhare Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 I completely disagree... I was up in the area today and plenty of lakes still have open water and the ones that are froze are VERY inconsistant. There is from 1-4" and the lakes we checked out where very very small. The lakes are covered with 8-10" of snow that isn't going to help make ice. PLEASE BECAREFUL!!! THE LAKES ARE NOT SAFE YET...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singingdog Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Be careful....some of the lakes in the Haliburton area have actually lost ice in the past few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris.brock Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 I just got back from Minden area today, there was a couple small, stocked, year round open season lakes I was checking, hoping to get out on, no go, around an inch of ice+ slush+ snow, if guys were getting out in Miner's Bay, the season doesn't open until today so that doesn't make any sense it's going to be cold mid week, but then above seasonal after that, I think late January is what I'm hoping for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singingdog Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 My buddy in Haliburton Forest was testing ice on Saturday: barely an inch in the middle of good sized lakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtle Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 I was at my cottage on Kennisis over New Years. The main lake is open water only bays etc have ice. The bay I am on had 3-4 inches close to shore with visible wet in the middle, also 6-10 inches of snow on top. I didnt venture out further from shore to where I usally fish because the ice was was probably less than 3 inches there. On the way back - Grass lk in West Guilford is iced over as is Boshkung apart from the south end. There are 2 huts on the ice at Miner's Bay-Gull Lk.
