Jacko iced off today
Thanks UD! … 🙂 …
More ice off intel …….
Checked Pass this morning. Still frozen over but a narrow strip of open water at boat launch. Warm weather this week should have it opening soon, Access road is soft with the odd patch of snow but no problem getting in. Someone camped there already, must be really keen.
Any updates on Red?
Thanks Dragon Fly 🙂
Checked out Edith today. Edges are ice free. One boat out ?. Took pics but can’t see an option to add?
Thanks JoJoNed!

Good job boys! Thanks for the report 😀
By chance, has anyone been up to Gwen? Was thinking of a day trip this weekend.
I would bet against Gwen being open this weekend. It will no doubt be starting to open around the edges but I can’t imagine that it will be fishable.
Dragon is about 50% ice free will probably be 100% in a day or two. Fishing was slow today but the weather was nice.
Was up at bleeker dead fish all over
Really? Did you see this yourself Shed-hunter1? I really hope not but it would not surprise me if it killed. Any more info would be appreciated …
Yep I seen it south end where the ice is off hopefully not a total kill I was ice fishing it late season seen lots of fish but they just seemed off not interested
Damn … 🙁 …
The scary part is it was not just big fish but smaller fish to
Anyone been by Peterhope? Planning on our annual trip next week.
Should be opening up imminently. You should have plenty of open water next week.
Thanks Art, l appreciate the reply.
Hi guys! Anybody know the clarity of stump? Thinkin of goin in a couple of days
Thanks
North end is murky but it’s clearing up nicely, and fishing ok, as you head south 😉
Edith yesterday mostly ice free, some still in the north bay. Several boats out, should be totally clear today.
Dragon ice off-April 27
All lakes in the Kane Valley open. No observed winter kill on Englishman. Lots of runoff crossing the road in various places.
Thanks,
Might try it next weekend
Any word on Roche? Ice-off, winter kill??
Thank you in advance 🙂
There’s already a bit of open water. No signs of kill from what I’ve seen/heard. If the temps get back up my guess would be that it should ice off this week 🙂
Edith ice off Apr 29th,
Friend with chalet at Roche says only few slushy spots left May 1st.
Facebook has Roche as ice off today for their contest.
I heard Red came off on the weekend
