I have a guy that is taking me off the island in his air boat tomorrow. He will run over my trail route a few times to pack down the snow and slop. That should let it freeze up by next Tuesday or Wednesday.Quote:

That is what I figured it would b like as well fisabout. Where on Muskoka did u check ? I'm down in Gravenhurst and there was a few inches a week ago in Gravenhurst bay. But who knows now
I have been fishing on the same 3" of black ice since nov. 28th. it was used to be bare ice, now is cover with 20" of snow. I are not making any progress, will take a while before we go out with the sled!!!
I checked near walkers point side , had 3 good inches a ice but lot's of slushy slop that needs to tighten up ....Quote:

With the snow that already piled in between land owned by private folks and crown land its almost impassable as of now !
Be safe
I walked out today and areas where the water / slush had worked its way to the surface have frozen down about 2 1/2", with water below that and ice below that. My concern is the areas that remain covered by a foot of snow. Can't tell the ice thickness under that very easily. By tomorrow the bare patches should be frozen right through.Quote:

I travelled from Gowan to Indian Head Marina by airboat yesterday morning and we found a little slush under snow and in a few spots we crushed through some frozen slush to about an inch of water over the ice. Never broke through the ice below. I am walking across Friday and checking ice conditions along the way. I expect to be sledding that day, but only if the ice is good.Quote:
