Saw a truck on Callander Bay yesterday afternoon. Asked someone with a shack close to main dock how thick ice was and he said 8 to 9 inches. Crazy...

With the exception of Friday (Dec. 28th), the next 7 days looks pretty good temperature wise for ice making. 8" - 9" is fairly safe for an ATV or snowmobile and a portable hut. Keep up with the ice reports !!

Looking forward to a great season.
