Couchiching ice, Shoreline ice report?

Years ago I showed up to mother-in-laws for lunch, late. My wife and most of the family had already had their soup. When I sat down I noticed several bugs floating on the surface of my bowl. When I pointed them out, everyone went silent. They had all eaten the soup and nobody noticed (the dynamic of a large family and having to wolf down your food if you want seconds!)
Talk about queasy faces! And everyone double checks grandma's barley soup now

I remember back in the early 90s in college - during my animal pathology course. Our teacher was telling us about this conference he was at in Kentucky or Louisiana (or somewhere south). They served these battered deep-fried "things" that were absolutely delicious. After they were done eating them, they found out they were deer liver flukes. LOL I guess they grow 'em big down there!

Ice and access was still very good at Tudhope on Friday.
East wind was pushing open water up to and slightly past the islands, but the main ice was holding well.

Buddy was on Simcoe out of Bolster yesterday as well, conditions holding there.


Would be a skating rink out there right now, but I bet the fish would be jumping in the bucket!
