I was on Simcoe at Sibbald Point March 17th -est. 12 inches but looked like ice particle board. Best trip out of 6 this year.

Also Haliburton small bay of large lake March 21st -est 12-24 inches. On the way back a large part of Grass Lake (West Guilford) is open, same for Moore Lake. Still huts at Miners Bay.

I was planning on going out one more time this weekend at a small lake up north. Last time I was there two weeks ago it had way over 12" of ice, and its been cold every night since, daytime is a bit above 0, but nights are all below.

I like the NASA site. It allows a wider picture.

Punch in the date and zoom in where you want to see.

Now that most of the ice is gone (At least in the places I fish), it's time to keep an eye on those water temps

I really wish the water from the Niagara came west instead of going east

Just got an ice report from some inland lakes in the Parry Sound area . Still 10" of ice on most lakes with some areas being less

due to incoming streams and sun angles . Still a ways to go before ice out in this area but it is melting fast and will soon be unsafe

for travel. I will post more updates for this area as I get them .

Thanks-would appreciate any updates on the Minden Haliburton area

Was out in Minden on Sunday, lots of ice, easily 12". Top 3" is definitely very soft, spud bar goes through easy 3-4" but then its hard.

standing at the boat launch at my house on Scugog you can't see ice in either direction

Ok. Quick update based on my drive to Buckhorn last night.

 

Scugog...no ice visible from Hwy 7

Lower Pigeon ...completely open, some ice one the west shore, but not much

Gagnon Narrows...completely open, can see some ice on the far south shore

Upper Buckhorn...bays still iced up , water level is still low.

Little lake in Barrie, the normal center channel from the river inlet, is opening up through the lake.

 

The bay here is still locked up tight. It takes for ever for this bay to get open it seems. Yet, it,s been taken for ever it seems, to freeze up at the start of the ice season the past few years. Go figure.
