A couple days ago, the town started cleared the snow off the area where they have the rinks and began flooding the ice, that's normally a good sign otherwise the Fire Chief wouldn't allow town staff on the lake.
Scott & I went out to check the ice this morning, brought the toboggan, CNR Spud Bar, rope etc and started down from the Lighthouse area, very little snow on the lake, could see someone was out on a quad staying close to shore. As well, we could see some open water from the natural spring at the Marina entrance with some flood water, suggest you stay away from there, not safe. If you come out to Sylvan check the ice conditions when you arrive, it may vary from location to location, don’t count on this info/pic’s & I wouldn’t even consider driving on this early in the season.
Fishin season opens here at 12:01 am on December 11th ....
Some pic’s …. enjoy.
Cheers

We walked out 100 yds confirmed with the Lazer & found 8.5” decent ice.

Bit of an ice heave, nothing like last year, there’s a large crack/separation with some flood water facing west, towards Palm Bay area.

I believe these Know Your Reg's - Fish Species signs went up this year.
