I was just out there in Kayak and the answer is no lol. I was out there for about half an hour and then white caps appeared everywhere. FYI I also got skunked but atleast I got out I guess.

i just got back from fishing simcoe. glenwoods road park access.

there were about 12 pop up huts. lots of activity today. lots of sleds rippin along the ice.

i measured ice at about 4-5 inches and then 2 more inches of clear ice at the bottom of that.

got a few small ones . one keeper. and about 5 jumbos who made attepts at my bait but no luck.

i was using the vibrado and slab grabber. silver was the color they seemed most interested in today. they just watched jigs . no interest.

the fellas over from me were hitting them though(jumbo's). they had minnows. i didn't

tomorrow will be another day...

is there much for parking there?

[canuckskin]

if you get there early enough. about 8 spots available.

plus the road across the street has parking allowed on the right side.

about 12 cars and trucks were parked there. ticket free
