Fishaholic Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Nice to see some of the ice (finally) fade away. For those looking for a good ice out opportunity, pike fishing is open year round in section 17! (Please stay away from primary muskie lakes!)

BillM Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Lake Erie is ice free until you get to ice booms in Buffalo and that includes the inner bay of Long Point, the Grand River is free of ice as well from the Caledonia Dam to Port Maitland. All ice gone on the Niagara peninsula including Hamilton Harbor. Hasn't been ice on the southern shore of Lake O for a while.... Now let's just get that water heated up a bit for spring kings!

fishboy Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 anyone been on the Highway 35 corridor between Minden & Dorset? wondered if there's any progress on the ice out there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4x4bassin Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Just got a report from the Algonquin Park area from the weekend . Opeongo still has 15-18" of ice and all ponds and streams in area were still locked up, as well the park is expecting 10-20 cm of snow this week . Any interior trips planned for Algonquin come the opener at this point will probably be in jeopardy Locals in the area are still calling for a first week of May ice out . No reports from the Parry Sound - Dunchurch area but should have something in the next couple days ! One positive out of this is no blackflies for the May long weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishfield Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Penetang Harbour is just about ice free. Midland Harbour is totally black, all it needs is a good wind and the ice is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4x4bassin Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Just received an update on Algonquin Park ice conditions today and they are reporting that Opeongo and surrounding lakes still have 10-18" of ice and is still locked to shore . Bigger rivers have opened up but the smaller ones are still frozen . The guys that run the water taxi on Opeongo say "not a chance" will the ice be gone come opener ,still calling for ice out in the first week of May. No reports from any where else yet but when I hear anything I will post . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kickingfrog Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 The top of Kempenfelt Bay was open today from the southshore centre as far as I could see. With the normal west winds the ice will be done near the launches maybe in time for this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singingdog Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Curious if anyone can provide Minden Haliburton updates? We are right on the edge. Most lakes - except where there is good current - are still ice covered, but very dark. I went to check Koshlong yesterday, and it was just coming off the banks. If we get 2 days of good winds, it will start to break up fast. We have 3 days of 30 Km/h forecasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4x4bassin Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Parry Sound - Dunchurch area lakes are still ice covered and locked to shore except for current areas that have opened up in the last week . Reports of 6-10" of ice on area lakes . Algonquin , well all I can say is forget the opener . Opeongo and surrounding lakes are still being reported with 10-14" of ice as well add all the washout problems in the park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
