It will be good to get some factual ice updates for our Southern folks.


Ya, I’d like to think it was a joke, but it looks like a puppet profile. I’ve been on Eagle Lake lots which is just as south as McGregor, and less than 100 kms away, and it is still at 6-7 inches. It was at 7-8 and 2-3 inches of snow, yet the top 2 of the ice was crap. Now it’s 6 of solid bare ice.
I’m hoping to hit Travers or McG today but not sure I’ll be able to swing it. It’s sad to think someone would ruin another’s opportunity to fish, because he wants to be a Dbag. That type of bs could do the opposite and lead someone to believe the ice is safe, when it’s not.
