Ice Out Continued...

5/15/2014

 
These pictures are from Thursday morning, May 15th.   
Two days before opener and the Hudson launch on Lost Lake is still iced in.

Still lots of ice at Big Vermilion too.

At Deception all the snow melted off the road since last saturday and the ice is gone from in front of the launch too.  Only a couple hundred yards of open water before deception arm is iced across though.  I still wouldn't count on getting anywhere on Lac Seul from Hudson or Deception launch on opening day.

Pelican lake opened up quite a bit today and it looks like you could boat from Frog Rapids under the Iron Bridge now.  So even if Lac Seul is a no-go on saturday there's still options closer to town on Pelican, Abram and Sturgeon River.     

Changing Seasons

5/6/2014

 
Its been a slow transition from winter to spring this year.  The lakes are slowly opening up but with opener just around the corner it's going to be close.  The current areas around Sioux Lookout and on the southeast end of Lac Seul will be open, but I wouldn't put money on being able to get to Bear Narrows on opening weekend.  

Stay tuned for more ice updates as opener approaches.  

Pick up a copy of the May issue of Ontario OUT OF DOORS.  I've got an article about early season walleye fishing with jigs and Lindy Rigs.

Another good one is the 2014 In-Fisherman Pike and Muskie Guide.  My buddy Jeff Gustafson from Kenora who is a top guide, tournament angler and writer, has an article in there on Canadian Shield pike fishing.  Jeff interviewed me for the article and they ran a big picture on first page.  Here's a sneak peak.

After seeing articles like these hit the shelves open water can't come soon enough.
