If anyone gets out this weekend, would really appreciate some information about shore/access ice for the east side of Simcoe anywhere from Port Bolster and north. Hoping to get out on Monday for a last shot for perch but will look for another back-up spot if this doesn't work out. Thanks in advance.

Thanks. It was nice to get out on the big lake after so many years. I hadn't fished Simcoe in a few....a completely different monster than fishing smaller lakes that's for sure.

Lots of ice on Simcoe and further north. I hope when we can't get out on the ice anymore, the melt happens pretty quickly so maybe I can get out for a fish or two in the spring before things get really, really busy and I need to shut down for a while. That is some walleye fishery you have down there. Enjoy....I'm sure you do.

Sounds like you had a great last day of perching (nice ending for the season). I have to try fishing Simcoe more next year. I do miss the perch fishing (use to do it about 75% of my trips before Muskokan lakers and wf close to home "forced" me to fish for them more) There is something special about fishing Simcoe that makes you want to return though. Wow, seeing the river come up over the ice would be a bit concerning.
