hank 11 Report post Posted January 12, 2017 Was out Mon. and this is what happened when I drilled our holes. Temp was -8C, not cold enough to freeze around the holes. Had to move our shack. Thanks to Ken and Archie for coming out to plow after the wind blew the road in on Tues. night. Those V plows are a life saver. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hank 11 Report post Posted January 12, 2017 That water is about .75km past birch island. Was still not frozen under the snow when we left Wed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoryCo 16 Report post Posted January 12, 2017 I'm out past sand point and the conditions are awesome. Maybe 8" of snow with 0 slush Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikejson 35 Report post Posted January 12, 2017 That isn't the road itself though right? They walled that water off last weekend... at least when I left sunday it was. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoryCo 16 Report post Posted January 12, 2017 I drove the road wed afternoon before it was plowed. It wasn't bad at all. Lots of snow drifts and some slush spots. As i was leaving Kenny was just getting ready to plow. Did not see any water. Like above. That's why I asked where it was. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hank 11 Report post Posted January 14, 2017 The picture of water isn't on the road, but was only 60 feet east of the road.Water came up the holes as soon as we drilled, and didn't stop until the next day. Must be more snow in that area. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fisherdave63 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2017 This afternoon, as I was leaving the lake, I left my HT black rod bag in the parking lot closest to the highway. I was hoping that someone might have turned it in or found it. If so, I would really appreciate being contacted. I can be reached by phone (807-630-5320, ask for Dave).

Haha...no I had the bait buuuuuuut....I did forget my key to the ice shack and all my gear was inside. Went to archies to see if he had a lock cutter but noone was out on the ice the day I went so I said F it and drove back to the landing then to town. I went back out this past Saturday and we did really well. Alot of action! Im heading back out tomorrow and Saturday...hopefully the warm weather hasnt made a mess out there yet and the fishing is still good!

1234567 4 Report post Posted January 22, 2017 Hey folks. Just looking for some clarification on yearly shack fees at shacks landing. If your shack hasn't left shore for a couple winters are the fees still the same? And what are the new fees? Also are the fees due in January and good for the year? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
