Default open water yet

Any open water yet in the Spruce Grove/Edmonton area yet? Or how much longer do you think?

Anybody had any luck at hermitage?
I tried the ponds a little over a week ago when there was still a little ice on them with no success...the city said that it was stocked back in Feb during family day weekend but I didn't get a single bite

Worked out at wab all week and saw lots of ice melt all week. Lots going fast.
Most will be gone by the end of next weekend is my guess. Will be ready for the opener.

Heading east of Ed to Hastings on sunday will let you all know about the ice that way. Gotta check the cottage for water in the craw space and if the sump pump is working. Would be nice if all who reported ice off, how much the water levels went up. I dont think they are gonna go up as much as we think they will.

Drove by Mink today and there was no ice except for a little 20ft by 20ft thin free floating patch of ice.
