Mild spell

[BowSlayer]

darn. I was thinking of heading duffsssssss tromorrow afternoon or sunday afternoon. Id think the ice melted off by now with these temps and rain. My office view is righ onto lake Ontario, and most of the ice has started to significantly melt off.

maybe ice fish, those ditches need a week of +temps to melt, even northern tribs are mostly ice covered now, and there were no +temps at night, one day it was +2, thats not enough, and there was snow instead of rain, don't waste your time and money on eastern ditches this time of year!

PM sent. All I can say is that the shelf ice is unpredictable. It may support you in one area and then let go in another. A fish is not worth anyones life, but I still heard of people fishing off the end section of these shelves.

Thx--Looks like the mild spell more or less got cancelled due to lack of interest. Anyway, I chickened out. I saw a couple of pic on another site of ice pans coming down the river towards guys in waders and it scared the livinbejeezus out of me!

I dont know...its 0/-1 for 3 days straight with rain...overnight it gets to +2 today and tomorrow....Im just going to hope for the best. If anything, I can break ice and bring spinning rod just in case, the 14foot rod wont do lol

careful with those guys! i know of a few guys who went fishing for salmon last year off some rocks, and hooked a beaver by the a$$ the thing came in and bit the one guys leg, the other guys ran away, if its ever on your line, rip it! i saw this past summer fishing near me in the holland river for pike, some guys were fishing at my usual spot, so i went upstream, then i heard lots of screaming and something swimming and jumping, turns out they hooked a beaver by accident and it swam up to shore ad tried to scare them.

Anybody know what the Huron Tribs would be like tmrw ? Don't know if it's worth driving from London to go check it out

Temps are quite cold tonite and not rising much tomorrow. That means lots of slush flowing down the rivers. Some people fish in those conds, most don't.
