It looks like cooks bay froze over today but still far from safe according to cbfb. but who knows what will happen with upcoming warmer weather.
on a local note puslinch and little lake in Cambridge appears entirely froze over. BUT NOT SAFE for a while I'm sure.
Couchinching is fishable safely right now?!? I'd love to get out. Just moved to Peterborough but I'm a bit sketched out going this early....Quote:

I'm heading up to a lake just outside of Bala on the 17th. Anyone up that way know what the ice is like in the surrounding area....?
Thin to none at this point. You should be OK by then. Emphasis on "should". Be safe.Quote:

I checked a lake south of Bracebridge a few hours ago, I walked a kilometer, and as expected there is 3 to 4" of black ice. From the video report I watched today, Couch has the same. I'll be checking one of the big three tomorrow and expect the exact same thing. I'm not sure how big is the lake you are planning on going but it's probably the same. The only issue is the snow we are supposed to get next week, it will insulate the ice and slow down the process. Game is on for me this weekend anyway.Quote:

Will be fishing Gibson Lake. It's not a big lake. Long, but not too wide. We shall see. You be safe as well, and good luck!
You can see in this satellite image that the big Muskoka lakes are partially covered but still have significant stretches of open water. Scroll to the right. Photo was taken yesterdayQuote:
