Any outfitters putting huts out

Hey,

I know there is thin ice out there. Are there any outfitters looking to move ice bungalows out this week? I’m asking for a friend lol

Just got the call last night. We re SOL for next weekend.

Hey pretzelboy, by next weekend do you mean 13-15 or 20-22? We are heading up 18-21 and this is making me very nervous.

We were the 12th to the 15th

So you’re saying there’s a chance……

In all seriousness, sorry for the bad luck on your trip and thanks for the reply.

South River Resort (on the south shore of Nip) posted an update to their facebook page last night. They are "optimistic" that they will be opening on Jan 16th. They have cancelling the weekend coming Jan 13-15.

They measured the ice, 7" +/- as of yesterday. It was -15C last night here in North Bay and currently -13C @11am so it's making ice right now for sure. The forecast is still up and down though in the coming days but nothing really above 0C.

Report that they wrote says they measured
5" to 7" yesterday a kilometer out..

There are two huts that have been put out on the North Bay side today.

Supposed to be heading up there this Friday with Snowfari. As of last night we were still a go.

yeah, me too...our group of 4 got a go for this up coming weekend, also with Snowfari

That is good. I just hope that we are not fishing on 12" of ice in 8 feet of water. That being said. I'd rather be safe than sorry. We have 5 guys in a 6 man bungalow. not sure what that would weigh. I would think we wouldn't be driving vehicles out to the huts.

Chilly Willys just cancelled us for this upcoming weekend. UGH

Let us know, we're up on the 20th with Todd. I just reached out, haven't heard anything yet.

Just got the email from SSIC, they are pulling the bungalows out as we speak for this weekend. 8-9” of good ice. Unfortunately no holes will be drilled under the huts but we will have outside holes drilled away from the huts. It’s not perfect but it’s still a fun weekend of fishing. Better than a cancelation! Thank you Cara and Garnet! Can’t wait to get up there.

Just touched base with Todd today and he said they have 9" of ice and their huts are on the ice with guests in them. We are also booked in for Jan 20 weekend so sounds like we're in the clear!
