BillM Posted April 29, 2014 Report Posted April 29, 2014 Just got a report from the Parry Sound area and the ice is melting fast and with all this rain coming this week expect open water on inland lakes by this weekend ! Sounds looks open. Time to break out the planner boards and go wash some body baits
kickingfrog Posted April 29, 2014 Report Posted April 29, 2014 Foul east wind blowing on Kempenfelt bay today. Big white caps always look strange to me crashing at the tiffin launch.
irishfield Posted April 29, 2014 Report Posted April 29, 2014 With the howling wind out there today.. she'll be clear no doubt Bill !
JimC Posted April 29, 2014 Report Posted April 29, 2014 What's the consensus for Lake Nipissing ? All time record record maybe safe, but what about beating 1996 - 97 ? http://ufrca.com/index.php?page=ice_out_dates
Chuck Enwinde Posted April 30, 2014 Report Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) Bill, what's your best source of satellite images? You can try this one - https://earthdata.nasa.gov/labs/worldview/?switch=geographic&products=baselayers,!MODIS_Aqua_CorrectedReflectance_TrueColor,MODIS_Terra_CorrectedReflectance_TrueColor~overlays,sedac_bound&time=2014-04-19&map=-82.889404,44.088867,-78.670654,46.116943 It's a little more user friendly and loads alot faster.

irishfield Posted April 30, 2014 Report Posted April 30, 2014 Apparently the elders on Bear Island, Lake Temagami, are getting worried it will be at least the 18th of May before they can boat to the landing... and the last week of May before the lake is ice free. Average of 20" of ice still on the lake, with areas as thick as 40.

Gonna be touch and go from here on out I guess. Hopefully the rain this week will speed things up a bit.

Seems about 10 days behind unfortunately.
2 tone z71 Posted April 30, 2014 Report Posted April 30, 2014 Northeast Georgian Bay still has ice as far as I can see all the back bays and coves are still solid as well..was out in the boat Sat ..hopefully this high wind and heavy rain stirs the pot
Big Cliff Posted April 30, 2014 Report Posted April 30, 2014 Had a guy out here watersking last Sunday (either that or they were using the biggest muskie bait I have ever seen and going way too fast). Water is still really cold but no ice in sight.
manjo39 Posted April 30, 2014 Report Posted April 30, 2014 Seems about 10 days behind unfortunately. Just select the day you want to see. Its about 1 day behind.
fishnsled Posted April 30, 2014 Report Posted April 30, 2014 Just select the day you want to see. Its about 1 day behind. Seems to work fine for me and I like the zoom feature.
Maverick Posted April 30, 2014 Report Posted April 30, 2014 This is what Nipissing looks like a few minutes ago, the west side of it. Tons of melting happening.
mirogak Posted April 30, 2014 Report Posted April 30, 2014 Algonquin Park waters melting fast http://www.algonquinpark.on.ca/news/ice-out.php Got an email that Benoir Lake, Elephant Lake area lakes have melted
kickingfrog Posted April 30, 2014 Report Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) Had a guy out here watersking last Sunday (either that or they were using the biggest muskie bait I have ever seen and going way too fast). Water is still really cold but no ice in sight. It's one thing to hit a half sunken hut, or deadhead, in a boat. It is something all together different to hit them on skis.

irishfield Posted April 30, 2014 Report Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) Midland Harbour and the immediate Sound appear open... but the launch ramp and Pete Peterson park shore is loaded with ice out past the entrance to to Bay Port where they have started putting in boats finally. About 2 weeks behind schedule. Edited April 30, 2014 by irishfield
Pikeslayer Posted May 1, 2014 Report Posted May 1, 2014 Home lake in Seguin is still 70% ice covered as of Sunday past. Planned to launch the boat this weekend delayed but shod be good to go for pike/walleye opener.
Bernie Posted May 1, 2014 Report Posted May 1, 2014 Hunters Bay on Nipissing opened up today.The main lake looks like it will take at least another week.
Joeytier Posted May 1, 2014 Report Posted May 1, 2014 Things really opened up this week with all the wind and rain. I went for a scoot down some logging roads behind my place and the snow is about 80% gone and the pot lakes are wide open. This trail would have had 2 feet snow not long ago...ice out trout happening this weekend!
Dan668 Posted May 2, 2014 Report Posted May 2, 2014 To those launching into Gbay, how are the launches? I normally only go out of honey harbour which have great launches but may venture elsewhere.
Dan668 Posted May 3, 2014 Report Posted May 3, 2014 pier 69 is in good shape 20 bucks Thanks. Have to decide between the two. Always do well in HH, but more numbers over size.
Parnelly Posted May 3, 2014 Report Posted May 3, 2014 No launching for me just yet... Is that Temagami? Looks like it wont be too long now judging from your pic.
