[David Chong]

WARNING

The high winds have opened Lake Simcoe in many areas, From the 6th line of Oro to 8 mile point is now open. One rescue on the 9th line already. (Photos courtesy of Andrew Pye)

Stay off the ice in those areas!

Scary stuff David. This has made it,s way across a lot of boards.  Plans have changed now as we were going to head off the 6th on the weekend. Plan B is now in effect.

 

Be safe all

I prefer fibreglass or aluminium between my feet and the water, not frozen water.

Dangerous for sure.  This means the rest of the ice now has somewhere to move to if the winds come up again.

The guy that got stuck out there was a guide on Simcoe..  I don't want to start a pissing match on here.  But as a guide, he should have taken a better look at the weather report, and ice conditions.

What a shame.  Last year was good for access in most areas.

There were more then a few guides out there yesterday with clients.   Seriously, do people care more about $$$ then their own lives?    Stupid.
