Stump is ice free.
Thank you … SS updated.
I see that Kidd has thawed out? Going to go check it out tomorrow, might drive Kane Valley Rd, will report back.
Awesome thanks! Lookin forward to your findings! 🙂
So how is Kane Valley?
Any news on Kane valley
Still fiarly frozen. 4 degrees when I drove through. It will be another week I bet. Snow even on the road in spots.
Father in law is up at Vought valley arrived last night and said ice is off both Davis and Boss so would assume Kane Valley is ice free going up tomorrow am will try Kane valley as well and report back
Interested in Vought valley off Kane valley Rd Davis,Boss, shay lake. Family is camping up there Easter long weekend is the ice off yet ?
Doubt they would be open yet based on other lakes. Always seems to be couple degrees cooler there then Kane.
Hope it’s off next weekend
Father in law got up there last night he is on Boss lake and he said both Davis and Boss are ice free
Thanks Sheldon! 🙂
Has anyone been by Peter hope or the Roche lake area? Thanks in advance.
We were at Peterhope on Apr 5 and the ice was still pretty thick. I’m guessing Easter weekend for ice off.
Does it have to be completely ice free? Logan Lake is 90%, with the eastern shaded end with a skim of ice.
90% works … thanks! 🙂
Heard a rumour that Kane was iced off anyone know
Father in law is up at Boss lake off Kane valley Rd and ice is off there so Kane should be free as well
Any word on Lundbom
Also wanting to know about Lundbom..
Roche lake cruise today … 🙂
Boats out on Edith and Roche today.
Also heads up, the newer fishing dock was damaged by the wind recently and is jackknifed into the shore.
Thanks Ian I’ll update the SS for Edith!
Edith today! Thanks Tristan! 🙂

Fished black last summer. Road in was horrendous. Only 4 by 4 and good clearance. Was muddy and almost got my.jeep stuck. Beauty of a lake even though I got skunked.
Anyone have any idea how long after Ice off that Roche Lake begins turns over? Typically? Looks like ice off was April 14th this year.
Depends on the weather … with the recent winds I’d say it’s already turning. It’s also never really been one of those lake that goes completely off during it’s turn so I wouldn’t worry too much about it. But if you want to be sure give it a week to 10 days …
Heffley Lake (not on the spreadsheet?)is mostly ice free. Mill Bay, launch area, is clear, some ice still on main section but pretty sure it will be all gone by weekend.
Little Heffley Lake was clear Sunday.
Thanks Heffleyjack! I’ll add it to the SS! 🙂
Any reports of winter kill or low oxygen? With Roche open can imagine some of the surrounding lakes that regularly experience winter kills are open. Thanks.
I’m taking the family to Peter hope tomorrow, does anyone know if it has started turnover? Being a clearer lake does it get much of a turnover?
Thanks in advance.
It just came off so I think you’ll beat the turn. Tight lines to ya and please report back with your findings 🙂
