Re: Shirley's Bay 2022 Ice season
I got out on Shirley's Bay last Friday with my dad for the afternoon and primetime bite. The wind was blowing with some obscenely high gusts and it was quite cold. The wind also claimed one of my 5-gal buckets... Legend has it it's still rolling across the bay... :lol: However, the bite was good in ...

There's a bait shop in Renfrew, which is zone 15 I believe. I forget its name but someone else might know.

Re: Ice Reports
However, I wouldn't fish on three inches. It supports me no problem, but still not a good bet. Wait for at least 4.

Re: Ice Reports
How much ice do you expect the rain to deteriorate on the parts that already have 2 inches?

Re: Ice Fishing Perth Area
@lenny Is your black lake the one just west of Big Rideau Lake? I think when that guy talked about the river going through it and the deep basin he meant the creek at the south-east end and the 60ft basin there. Unfortunately the road leading to their cottage doesn't get plowed and it's a half-hour ...

Re: Ice Reports
No safe ice yet as far as I know. I checked a smaller lake recently and there was an inch of clear ice right at shore, and probably 1-1/2 or 2 inches further out, often the shore starts out with less ice oddly enough, less exposure to the temperature than less shelters ice once there’s ice everywher...
