Snipe lake ice out?

[Muskeg]

Just wondering if the ice broke up yet.. my brother has the itch and its a hour and a half drive so he's been hassling me to get the scoop from this forum so if anyone has any information please pass it along.. thanks a lot guys!

ice was pretty thick there this winter, i'd think your looking at 2nd week in may before its out. heard swan is starting to open up pretty good though.

I was there in late March and I barely got through the ice without an extension on the auger. I'm guessing it's still got ice, but a report from someone who has been there recently would be nice!

easy there big shooter... SHAWS POINT CAMP GROUND is where im camping which is in the open part of the lake. you can tell where the boundry is by the 300 boats anchored on the point and no i will not be fishing on the wrong side of it but thanks for the concern

The launch at snipe is ok but nothing special. Probably better for smaller boats. I was out at Spring Lake out by Hythe yesterday for work and the lake is only open on a small portion on the southwest side. I expect Snipe to be about the same.

[gpguy7]

spring lake is always like that, it doesnt get any wind so it takes forever to thaw. swan is still the only open water near GP

Snipe lake is wide open , cruised the whole lake and
no ice left. caught some nice jacks , few whites,
found some perch and then the rain come. launch
is fair but will need 4x4 soon, after it is used abit.
