Fishog 215 Report post Posted November 4, 2023 This is going back a lot of years but I remember going to Whitefish on Nov 5th with a guy I worked with. We had our snow machines and were freaked out as there was very little snow but a good 5-6 inches of ice. You could see the air bubbles under the ice We fished till it got dark and all of sudden a 1967 chevrolet impala drove out from shore. We thought this not good and left. You could see the weight of the car made the ice flex into a blow around it but never broke through. Crazy Finlanders was my thought LOL 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TerJr 12 Report post Posted November 16, 2023 Can't speak directly to the region up 527 but with all this unseasonal warm weather, the ice I saw developing on some of my local shore spots has almost entirely melted Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benji 67 Report post Posted November 17, 2023 Was walking ice on whitefish, last weekend. Who knows with warm weather might go investigate tomorrow any rate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zackcorbin1401 542 Report post Posted November 18, 2023 Got a good satellite image today finally after a week and where I’m looking… it’s definitely ice fishing time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishog 215 Report post Posted November 18, 2023 Chopped a hole through the ice in my pool this morning here in Kakabeka. During the warm spell the sides were melting pretty good. The colder nights froze it back up. The thickest part that I could reach to chop a hole was only about one and half inces. Was going to check out a few lakes today but I can wait Just need a week of cold nights to firm it all up again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zackcorbin1401 542 Report post Posted November 19, 2023 since I just live down the road I went and checked it out whitfish lake last night for fun … 2 weeks ago I was walking on it and it is now completely open water end to end. Checked a bunch of small lakes in the area and most lost the all ice they had, some had a bit out in the center but water 10 ft around the edges.
