Quinte ice

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Quinte ice

We were out on the weekend and the water temps were in the 37 degree range so they are definately getting down but it has been so windy that the ice can't form.

Oh well first you salt the ramps then the hard water follows.
I'm just another beer drinker with a fishing problem!

I can tell you it's not lemon flavour or banana flavour either... well actually... um... maybe it's sort of like banana, but probaby not the type of banana you're thinking of. :shock:

Why can't I stop myself from typing sometimes? :lol:

HaZarD,

There maybe someone who has "on-ice bungalows" with bunk beds but I haven't sen any ads for them in the past. The on-ice bungalows is mainly Nippissing and Temagami. Most people I've seen on Quinte rent wooden day huts or guide using portable huts.
