Red lake, Ontario ice out/Opener

[tackleman]

i feel your pain Connie, I took down my snow fence on the septic field a few minutes ago and while I was doing that I could see the guests from the camps heading out to fish. the sad part was, for them, the ice is completely blocking the entrance to the lake by the island in our bay, so they go out, follow the edge of the ice looking for a path through then I see them coming back to fish in the bug river area.

I haven't even got my big boat out of the garage yet and my skiff is still sitting up in the parking lot without being serviced to launch this season. and oh yes, i'm on call for work so even if I had a boat in , I would have to stay home waiting for the call to work.

I didn't see this thread when I posted earlier today, sorry. Here is our video from yesterday. We found 22 inches of ice where no skidoos had been. We expecting more. Last year on May 1, we found 15-16 inches in the same place.
Hoping to get planes on the ice and then flying them to the river next week.
