Just wondering if anyone does any ice fishing for specks north of the GTA?
I dont mind driving and I have all the gear....willing to trade some speck/brookie ice fishing for a spring Turkey hunt...

Are you looking for someone to fish with or spots to try?Quote:

2.5-3 hrs NE of you there’s a few stocked lakes that can be good. Only thing that sucks is access some of them are a horrible hike into. The Bancroft stocking list should be updated soon
Maybe both I guess....might also be nice to meet new people.Quote:

small speck lakes are frozen with the cold we been having. And lots of snow in the bush. Tracks are on the ATV and it's 'go time'Quote:

FYI - just speaking to a good buddy of mine who has been out a few times already - ice on smaller lakes in the Minden area are not too bad - just need to avoid any with inflow/current areas. I also have heard that some guys have been out on sheltered bays on Rice Lake. If in doubt, drill first. I used to carry an 18v Milwaukee Drill with a huge bit extension - quick way to test ice. Test first - THEN walk out....
Good Luck
