[fishindevil]

im in dunsford halfway between bobcaygeon and lindsay on sturgeon lake and where we are still froze solid from shore to shore !!! starting to open a few feet from shore but still locked where i am !!! soon tho....

[irishfield]

Dalrymple opening in both directions by the road the splits the lakes there. Balsam.. the entire trent channel is open from Kirkfield to Balsam as best I could see. Channel is opening below the Kirkfield lift locks. Just happened to be across there to Coboconk today to recover an airplane that played with a tree!

I'm guessing you have never been to Japan...really, really, really bad scotch....lol

I believe it, I bought rye from Cuba, tastes like drinking gasoline, I'll save it for when we have guests over

[BucktownAngler]

[jedimaster]

I am going to be in port perry tonight I'll scope out the ramps on scugog and post back... Anyone in the muskokas have an eye?

[Sinker]

Rice is wide open. Was out yesterday. No crappies, but we caught every other specie!

Scugog looks wide open as far as I can see and the boat launch in town is also free of ice. No dock in but people have launched as there are trailers in the lot.

Checked out two of the lakes in town today, they're getting wet around the edges. Forecasts in the teens for next few days so not too long. I've been here over 30 years and the earliest I've seen Elliot Lake open is April 15th. Might be considerably earlier this year.

[fishnsled]

Balsam - main lake still frozen. Mitchell - canal open but bays and lake still frozen. Simcoe - Beaverton side, lots of ice still out there. I would think that most of these areas should be ice free soon. Nice day for a drive....

[irishfield]

Orr Lake is dark green today.. will be gone tomorrow!

[Billy Bob]

I am happy to report all lakes down here in the Great State of New York are all open and fishing is going on FULL THROTTLE....

Open water showing on Fish Bay on Nipissing.

Couple more days and it will be wide open.

Crazy!....I drove my truck on it a week ago and it was a solid block.

[misfish]

It was still iced in as of Wednesday afternoon if you're talking the launch across from the rec center on #12.. West of the narrows on the 4 lane. Ice could well be gone by now though.

~~~~As reported Simcoe main lake wide open, but there are some nasty little bergs, and ice sheets still floating around, between Thoarh and Georgina, there is a large sheet still intact,

[fishinggeek]

Anyone know if the Muskoka lakes are clear yet? I would go see for myself but it is a bit far of a drive to be disappointed.
