the ice conditions are no good..alot of open water, some lakes are completely open.......even some of the back lakes are not safe. If you go out
be careful. I was up today close to Minden and you won't see me there for another 2-3 weeks if the everything goes well.......

Hey there
Heading up to Hali tomorrow - plan on checking Loon Lake (Dudman Lake) of 118 to see what the ice is like - and will also drive by Boshkung and Kashawigimog so I can update on the conditions there as well.
Has anyone else been up that way (Minden/Haliburton/Bancroft) in the last week or so?

didnt hit peach that friday---
my friend however was out on Gull yesterday and got into 3 trout (i didnt get an ice reports from him) Off Rackey tho not on Miners.... that meat head hut rental guys got his zoo of huts out there on miners too

. oh well. i dunno about lakes further north seeing as we usually fish Gull or Simcoe cause theyre closest.

We didn't make it to hali - to much stuff to do prior to make the 2.5 hour drive worth it - 5 hours driving for 2 hours fishing (if the ice was good)
We hit Cooks Bay intstead for Perch and Pike - perch were hot, pike were not
There was about 25 groups fishing near us, and not one had a pike
Was a blast though - first time for me with my new gear, and not fishing in a permanent hut - just a bucket and a good snowsuit
in our group we caught about 30 - 40 per between 3 of us, most were between 5 - 7 inches with about 7 over 8 inches

Hoping to hit Loon Lake or kashawigamog next weekend
Cheers
