there is birds in one pic on the ice... not water... the lake has a layer of ice right across.... why would the birds just sit on the ice?

Hoping for water? :sHa_shakeshout:

Stupid birds should have gone south with the old people.

Thanks for the report and pics AB...i realize this is the fishin section but did you get any birds? Years ago we used to hunt and fish around bellis...surf and turf!

no... not for waterfowl. Seen quite a few canada geese flocks going overhead as well

btw.. i walked out about 10 feet from the dock at the Prov Park.. barely a crackle...then again its shallow there

No snow cover and chilly nights are going to make for fantastic early ice this year. Woo Hoo!

it was extremely chilly this morning... and up there its a intense chill.. i imagine jumbo perch will be slayed in less than 3 weeks

Hows the dog doing? Is he a good buddy yet?

[Alberta Bigbore]

she...is fantastic.

[greylynx]

I am glad to hear that.

Best wishes to the two of you.

Thanx for the report. I'll be heading up to the cabin (skeleton) next week for four days. See many grouse? there isn't as many as there was 4 or 5 years ago.

[greylynx]

I was around Long Lake today. There are not even as many grouse as last year.

The ice is nice and clean and smooth like ABB's pictures.

Three coyotes looked sort of mangy. Their hides should look better at this time of year
