I stopped by to see how much ice there is and to my surprise the river was frozen right across to Aylmer. I didn't have an auger, nor did I feel like venturing out too far. I walked out onto the ice to about Balls deep water depth and the ice was pretty solid (balls stayed dry ) . That would be 20 yards off shore That's it. I am in no way implying that the ice is safe to venture onto!
I did notice a bit of an issue though. A large ice pile has formed across the entrance point. I guess the wind blew some fairly big pieces in when it was first freezing up. I don't know if a plow can smash it up... A back hoe would..... But no one is driving over it.
With this cold temp - a couple of weeks and we should be good to go. If anyone has any ice reports regarding Shilrey's bay post them on this thread. Stay safe, it's worth the wait.
....latest news.....7" ......two shacks out now. Has me wondering about the report of 4" from two days ago.....looks like I'm just gonna go down there and see for myself.....will report on that tomorrow.
I'm a goin' fishin', mama's goin' fishin' and my baby's goin fishin' too.
I was out on the bay today.......6.5" of ice where I was...7.5" if ya count the slushy crap on top.....about 500ft past the furthest shack. There are two shacks out. I'll post pics shortly.

Gord... That is a GREAT way to report ice conditions! If you are willing... give a GPS coordinate so we know exactly where that measurement was taken.. of course... unless that is a some what of a secretive spot.
