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.

Last year with the weird ice conditions I think we had about 75 participants - however the 2 previous years we had over 125 people attend.

DERBY

Post by baitcaster »

Well it certainly looks like we will have good ice - lots of vehicles driving on it now and with the warm weather tomorrow we should get rid of alot of the recent snow. Although we have a road plowed out to your shacks it would be nice if vehicles could go other places if they wanted. You're fine with a 4x4 but don't try it with a car right now!
I'm watching the weather every day - by Thursday they should be somewhat accurate! Right now it's looking fairly mild (about -2) - maybe a bit of precipitation. As long as the winds aren't gale force we'll take that!
Don't forget your food bank donations!

That's great Adrien - I hope you can make it. And, I know what you mean about the plowing - we've had to do a lot of that ourselves this year. Don't know if you've ever been out to the store but wait till you see the hill! And, we try to keep a road plowed out to the shacks.
