Nope, mid next week or the weekend of the 17th for first ice. My brookie lakes aren’t even capped. Very late year. Some random shallow lakes had a cap of 1/2” white ice crap. Some of those lakes now open.

Thx
My buddy Al and I could use a bit more tutoring on how to catch specks once they are frozen!
I find it’s hard to get them to bite once they’re frozen…jaws are pretty stiff… they do go well in the freezer though, and make excellent table fare once thawed 🙃

Some smallest shallowest lakes just capped with 1/4” ice then about 3” snow…. So not the best, I’ll be poking around this weekend I can PM some conditions. All big and medium lakes are ice free and 90% of small lakes are also open water.

My car certainly noticed at 5am this morning when I tried to start it. I see even some large lakes capped this morning. Let’s keep the snow away and we may be good for opener on the laker grounds.

Headed over Calabogie way to check a speck lake. It was 3” mostly but some dicey spots with the spud. The bay was weedy so no luck. You were right mykola, needs more time. Hopefully between Christmas & NYE, things will be better.

I'd be extremely happy if I can get onto ice for some ice fishing somewhere up north after Xmas and before the Near year!:-) Perhaps on some small lake...

Snow forecast in my area over the next four days, has been cut by 2/3 now, thank goodness, and next week is looking like all double digit negatives. Bring it on.
