limeyangler Posted November 20, 2023 Report Share Posted November 20, 2023 Hi all, Our bay finally iced over yesterday, it’s raining today but night temps by the end of the week will be -17C, fingers crossed we don’t get too much snow. Hoping to be on the ice 1st week of December. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rizzo Posted November 21, 2023 Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 No sir not ready for that. Hope to get out in the boat two more times before packing it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akaShag Posted November 23, 2023 Report Share Posted November 23, 2023 I was JUST thinking, I bet there is ice up there where limeyangler lives. I envy you that! Rifle season is done here for deer, and I might hunt the smokepole season I guess. But bring on the ice, I am ready! Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ice is actually gone now, blew off the next day, but it’s gonna go any moment now, -17 and -19C forecast Thursday and Friday nights, if we get a calm night she’ll be done. I went grouse hunting with my boy yesterday( we saw only one bird and never got a shot) and there were two or three ponds that hold fish that were locked up still, will check the ice on them Sunday, might get to wet a line before November is done, fingers crossed 🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akaShag Posted November 23, 2023 Report Share Posted November 23, 2023 The earliest in a year that I ever ice fished was 19 November, in about 1979, on a lake up in the foothills around Pincher Creek, Alberta. The ice was crystal clear and you could see down to the bottom, down to about 15 to 20 feet, but not in deeper water. It was kind of spooky walking on that!

akaShag Posted November 23, 2023 Report Share Posted November 23, 2023 1 minute ago, Terry said: made the local tv station and not in a good way You want to see people going out on thin ice, Owen Sound in the late 80s/early 90s was the place to see anglers doing LUNATIC things like lying on the ice with their rod arm stretched out to a hole in half an inch of ice. Or KICKING a hole in the ice on the Pottawatomi River to fish running water below. NUTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knownuthin Posted December 6, 2023 Report Share Posted December 6, 2023 I'm jealous. I'm in North Muskoka and despite some double digit overnight lows we have no ice to speak of on my home lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
