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

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.
