Acountdeleted Posted January 6, 2013 Report Posted January 6, 2013 Does anyone know if Island Lake in Orangeville is locked up?
Christopheraaron Posted January 6, 2013 Report Posted January 6, 2013 I would think so, considering there's so much safe ice here in RH I would think a more rural, farther north place like orangeville would be fine, at least in most of the bays. Thinking of going tomorrow?
Christopheraaron Posted January 6, 2013 Report Posted January 6, 2013 It depends how much snow they got, and if the initial ice skim was strong enough to support the snow. Just guessing here, 2 days ago the lake I was on was covered in snow, yesterday it was all gone, and it didn't just melt, I'm thinking maybe it blew away

Thinking of going tomorrow? Ha ha I wasn't planning on it but I think I could duck out for a few hours. Want to meet up and see if its safe to try and bring in some pike? Edit: Whoops, nevermind. The lake is unsafe and the conservation area is closed. Ah well. Maybe in a week or two. Edited January 6, 2013 by jeremy84

I might be free a couple hours, we could try the lakes around my place?
adempsey Posted January 7, 2013 Report Posted January 7, 2013 The deepest part of lake Bernard froze over a week ago so be very careful I see a couple of shacks off of union street but the guy at Lake Bernard Outfitters doesn't have huts out yet. Hope this helps Mike Thanks for the info. We went up for the weekend and there was 8" of ice where we were.
Marko Posted January 7, 2013 Report Posted January 7, 2013 I was out on Rideau River-Nicolls Island Saturday. 4 inches of slush with about 6-8 inches of good ice at least. Got bunch this size. White jig tipped with a minnow was the ticket . Stay safe out there
jbailey Posted January 7, 2013 Report Posted January 7, 2013 was out on jacks lake the last couple days, the ice was about 6-7', plenty of people out and about
Rich Posted January 8, 2013 Report Posted January 8, 2013 5" of ice with a whole whack of crappies beneath it here
asdve23rveavwa Posted January 8, 2013 Report Posted January 8, 2013 5" of ice with a whole whack of crappies beneath it here Get 'em while you can buddy! Looks like we'll be breaking out the shorts and t-shirts this weekend!
slightlyhuman Posted January 15, 2013 Author Report Posted January 15, 2013 *BUMP* that warm weather was deadly! i still haven't even gone to get my outdoors card. anyone up north have any new reports now that its starting to get cold again?
castgame Posted January 17, 2013 Report Posted January 17, 2013 with these low temps, think haliburton back lakes will be gtg this weekend? i mean it's -22 tonight!
Christopheraaron Posted January 17, 2013 Report Posted January 17, 2013 with these low temps, think haliburton back lakes will be gtg this weekend? i mean it's -22 tonight! I'll let you know after tomorrow
Acountdeleted Posted January 17, 2013 Report Posted January 17, 2013 You'll have to let me know how it goes Chris. Bed ridden today (stupid cold) work tomorow and Saturday and Lazer quest with buddies Sunday. I'll be hitting that lake on Monday.
Christopheraaron Posted January 17, 2013 Report Posted January 17, 2013 That doesn't sound like much fun. Well by next week the little pond will be more then ready, could try that. I also have my eye on another nice pond (looks a little better then the first one we went to) that we could try. Let me know when you're feeling better and we'll try to get out. Until then have some fish broth and get to bed
Acountdeleted Posted January 17, 2013 Report Posted January 17, 2013 Haha thanks. I've these cold tempratures keep up I've got a list of lakes the length of my arm I can't wait to try out.
Garfisher Posted January 18, 2013 Report Posted January 18, 2013 My two friends and I skated a hut down Sturgeon today. Thinnest we found was 6-7" (where we set it), a lot of ice around 8". We didn't venture out toward the middle, but within 100-150m of shore should be perfectly fine along the eastern side (around pleasant point). Note: a word of advise, skating a hut 2.5-3km and then skating back is a real good work out
irishfield Posted January 18, 2013 Report Posted January 18, 2013 My neighbour at the lake just drove his explorer to the dock... so I think we're gonna be good up there considering a full week of -25C to come starting Monday!
slightlyhuman Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Posted January 18, 2013 any word on how the muskokas are doing? im itching to get out on rosseau and have a chance next weekend! lets hope this week is good to us
mr blizzard Posted January 18, 2013 Report Posted January 18, 2013 With -40s past few weeks (months) lol we are pushing30 to 36 inches, enough to groom the ice roads, hope u get some good ice down there real soon, I can see it happening according to the weather network.
Christopheraaron Posted January 18, 2013 Report Posted January 18, 2013 Was in kinmount area today on some splake and rainbow lakes. Not one fish but a good 8" to a foot of ice everywhere we went, all clear blue.
slightlyhuman Posted January 21, 2013 Author Report Posted January 21, 2013 heard there were some loonies out on simcoe this weekend. any word on the muskokas? heading up saturday i hope.
ckrb2007 Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 Lots of "loonies" fishing through 7" of ice over at VB and PB on Saturday.
BillM Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 How exactly are they loonies? I'm guessing he thinks they were out on the laker/whitie grounds... Which would have been ok, because they'd be in a boat, lol!
