Algonquin ice out watch is saying they are down to 34 cm's of snow as of yesterday. This is the same snow level as last year two weeks later. Ice out was April 30th last year... If we are 2 weeks late that would push it into the second week of may.

May 5th in '05, May 10th in '96, May 12th in '02, May 15th in '72 is the record for lat ice out.

 

Its going to be an interesting spring.

I can't recall ever icefishing in may, but this might be the year for it.

 

Two years ago I had the boat out in feb....that was a new one for me too.

 

Crazy weather.

I figure 2 weeks and two days and Fish bay will be open on Nipissing.
Week later and Hunters bay is open.
The South River has started to thaw in places, some open water.

Greening's bay (just a few bays up from you Bernie) at the bottom end was showing signs of opening soon on Sunday. There was a flock of geese there and I swear they were jumping on the ice trying to break it open.

And to think,we were driving the ice road not so long ago.

 

I thought Nip would be til end of May for sure Bernie. Crazy ice thickness out there. Or is that normal up there?

[Bernie]

Drove my pickup across last Sunday Brian.
Don't think I will even go with my ATV this weekend.
Going to wait for the boat now.

Gbay ice has turned blue/black---looks like candle ice which will break easily with the waves. probably gone by Mon.

Here are 2 webcams from Lower Buckhorn and it is breaking up pretty good but the back bays will be iced up for a while yet. This one is from the Sunrise resort looking down the lake towards the narrows http://www.sunriseresort.ca/index.php/photo-video/webcam and here is the second from Reach Harbour resort which is about halfway down the lake looking out to the main channel http://www.reachharbour.com/ just click on the webcam button at the top left of the page.

P.S. Best to watch the Sunrise webcam in the afternoon when the sun shows the lake better also this cam updates every 5 sec. or so unlike the Reach Harbour cam which shows better through the day but only updates every hour or so I think.
