NAW Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 I've got some free time Saturday morning (which is a rare thing). I was thinking about going to check some ice conditions. Southern Muskoka area. This snow will not help things at all. But I've got some quiet back bays that are sheltered from the normal prevailing winds. They usually ice up early, and stays tight through the warm stuff. Anyone else gunna go out for a poke this weekend? (in this area that is.. I know you northerners are already driving trucks on the ice...) It's highly unlikely, but I may be able to creep out for some Crappies.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostAnotherOne Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 Be safe if you do so. Ice may be good when walking out, but coming back with the heat being on it all day it could be a bit weaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeytier Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 Nick, we had 5-6.5 " on back lakes up here on monday so I'm sure you could find some walkable ice on small lakes around there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Cliff Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Drove by Scugog this morning, looked solid..... unti l!!!!! lots of places out there where you could see what looked like open water. I could see where a person could suddenly find themselves in serious trouble out there. Please don't let it be one of our members this year. It just isn't worth a fish or two.
