I was by last Wednesday and things were still iffy. However spoke to a buddy that was out in the area fishing on Sunday. Sounds like it is good to go. He was walking so I'm not sure about machines or huts. I'm going out tomorrow in that area so I'll give you an update...........

thanks so much J'snest, that is great to hear, yes just me and my uncle on Saturday and we don't have machines or anything just walkers. Very glad to hear the cold weather tightening everything up. Do you ever get by Windermere, if so do you know how it is looking too?I was by last Wednesday and things were still iffy. However spoke to a buddy that was out in the area fishing on Sunday.

It was -35 here this morning when I got up to go fishing. Needless to say, I have not ventured out yet today. Don't have a hut or portable to get out of the cold. Planning on going out this afternoon when it gets up in the mid teens. With this cold period for the remainder of the week I think the ice is going to be good. I haven't fished Windermere this year yet, but was on the east side last week a few bays down from Windermere. The ice was solid and about 6", so I'm thinking Windermere will be solid also. The east side seemed to freeze up better this year on Rosseau for some reason. Minnows seems to be the bait of choice right now. Not seeing much caught jigging or on dead bait.
