The big changes usually occur the last two weeks in April. The extended forecasts I looked at seem like things are on track - warmer weather + rain. That should kill ice fast. Assuming one can trust the forecast :shock:

It's not looking very good right now Joco... Since 2011, trout opener in Quebec is hit and miss as we've seen a few years where every lake was frozen solid. Lucky for me, I have one trout lake that is always open on trout opener... It has a nice creek that flows into it so there's always open water...

Really? That's good news then. I guess you've been up that way... I'll either have to go check myself before the 22nd or even better, I'll send someone else to check for me. :lol:
