Still lots of ice ....

[Rod Caster]

It was a gorgious day yesterday so I loaded the canoe and got a preview of my summer by finding new trails, new lakes and getting mud on everything.

 

Many of the lakes still have a 3-6" crust on them but some are nearly wide open...it all depends on exposure to sun and wind.

 

This one in particular, we had to walk right through the raspberry bushes and felled trees to get to a launchable spot.

As we loaded and lauched, the GF was a bit freaked out but with some positive encouragement and SLOW movements we slipped the canoe off the crust and into the water. You would have thought she was on a big rollercoaster, approaching the apex and about to drop 500meters at 200km/hr.

 

We canoed around with no incident, had fun breaking thin ice and sunning a bit. To get back up we used a previously tied rope to provide us with a little more leverage.

 

Bring on summer.

We have just about the same ice conditions as you have Chad... lots of floating icebergs I went Friday morning for some brookies and bows but returned home with white stripes unfortunately

 

Season is closed now and have to wait for opener "end April" to get back at it Time to attack the todo list now
