Just a reminder Sylvan doesn’t open until December 11th! One week to go!

I'm thinking snap, swampy tie. A few lakes around Edmonton are on average 10+ already! With a 1 ton in a pear tree to boot!

As much as I hate to admit it. I'm giving the nod to Bwacky. Stupid weather had to change and stop growing ice this week and Sylvan. I swear...that guy has connections or something

Enjoy the easy ride, anti hunters. Strange to me why we seem to be doing your job for you.

Excuse me while I go puke.

New hope has sprung
Small hope but you never know.

FYI, I'll check out Gull ice thickness on Saturday and post that back in the main ice report thread.
