Fishog 215 Report post Posted October 17, 2022 The earliest for me was Nov 4th on Whitefish lake. 4-5 inches of ice. Some finlander drove his car on the ice and I left after that. Not that dumb anymore. I will wait some weeks for better ice conditions. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AB 98 Report post Posted October 21, 2022 Small bays and creeks on Dinorwic Lake east of Dryden had ice on them on Wednesday. I was fishing it a week before and the surface temp was 53F! Lots of the small potholes between Upsula and Ignace were 50/50 ice to open water on Thursday morning. A couple of nights that get down to -10C are gonna make things happen pretty quick. Give us one more nice weekend before we need to start thinking about ice safety! AB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sinker7 114 Report post Posted November 4, 2022 Water temps up in Graham last weekend were 44-46F. Going to see what it is this weekend towards Atikokan. I am guessing last week of November for walking ice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ekvin1 9 Report post Posted November 25, 2022 1.5 inches last weekend on small lakes around Lappe. Hoping for thicker ice this weekend but these warm temps are reeking havoc with my ice fishing season. +7 tomorrow. Might have to check if the launch on Dog Lake is open and take the boat out of storage. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes yes sometimes no, after a fresh snow I’d wait a few days…most likely just the main road aswell , we have allways had to sled kennah. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
