Ice Out???

[Go_Fish]

Does anyone have any ideas as to when the ice will be out in the Red Lake or Ear Falls area? Some have said that it will be a late spring because of the La Nina phenomenon. Any comments?

It is going to be late this year. We are still hard at Ice fishing. Heading out on Friday for the latest fish I have had in years. Going 60 miles north of Thunder Bay. Still lots of snow for a snowmachine. I'll bet ice out in the first week of May. The post spawn Walleye are going to get pounded.

The average ice out for the Red Lake is around May 4th. At least this is what some locals have told me.

I have been flying out of Red Lake for the opening week for 20+ straight years. Always for the third Saturday in May. Have only encountered ice on Red Lake twice at fly out time.
