You think lakes will be open in 2 weeks?

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.

Here's the skinny,

Most small lakes are semi or completely open in the outaouais up to about bouchette.

Small bush lakes are wide open.

Took a drive around Lac Ste Marie ( which is wide open ) in around by Heney lake which is open about 40 feet from the shore, and the remaining ice won't take long. Didn't make it up to the Pemich or 31, but there are a few open spots on them as well.

Stopped by one of the stocked lakes too.

Went to two smaller lakes yesterday. One in the Low area, small but open. Fished from shore for 3 hours, worked our way along the lake and struck out. Saw hundreds of freshwater shrimp in the crystal clear water there.

Afternoon found us in a well known lake in Northfield that was wide open. Again we fished from shore and the only fish caught was a small pike. Not exactly what you want to see in a trout lake!!
