siou lookout -minnitaki ice conditions

[scar]

will be up for the opener and am wondering about ice conditions.does it look like it will be open?
also heard that abram lake might be a better choice than minnitaki in may. anyone willing to share some info on where to fish on abram other than at the shoot or frog rapids?

All ice in Sioux Lookout area will be gone by May 4th - that's from a local expert. My guess is still May 1st. Two weeks ago it was 40" thick. Yesterday it was 20" and going fast. Water levels are at an almost record low, so Abram chutes may be especially productive this year.

any new info?
