davey buoy Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 I'm hoping for May 10?.I think it could be hit and miss even by then.4 weeks away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 First week of May is probably a good bet if the temps stay where they are and we get some rain.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickingfrog Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Top end of Couch/Severn River was open on Sunday. Things are starting to get in gear now but it's going to be like the days of yore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Cliff Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Finally saw our first open water on Sturgeon Lake this morning. The river is open in front of Lunge Haven, it ususlly takes about two weeks for the chanel to be open here once we see that. Once the chanel is open it is usually another week before I can get my boat in. Looks like we will be fishing crappie and walleye at the same time this year!

misfish Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 before the end of the month. April 30th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnsled Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 I will agree with Brian and before the end of the month. Closer to the end with the cold temps in the forecast next week, maybe even a bit of snow?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) Didn't make it to Simcoe.. but Georgian Bay is turning white.. shoals, sandbars and normal current areas are open. Nottawasaga Bay is still locked up, other than the West shore has an open stretch along it and there is an open patch from the Western Islands down past the side of Christian Island to the gap between lighthouse point and the mainland. Still gonna be awhile yet, but if we get some high winds that starts some wave action in the open spots she'll be toast pretty quickly.

irishfield Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 That was this morning by the way... -2 allowed me to get across the mud to the 14 to 16" of snow still on the runway. Think it was my last slide on snow for the season though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnsled Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Fun videos to watch Wayne. Just was looking and comparing the satellite pic the Cliff posted from April 6 and today's pic. Quite the difference down Quinte way. The rest, not so much. Will be interesting to see what happens by Saturday after a couple more warm days. A bit of rain with crazy winds tomorrow gusting to 70k for the Quinte area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
