you wont be driving on, lots of crappy ice along the shores on Newell, saw a side by side and a couple quads out today but also saw some spots with open water. with the wind and the heat there isnt a lot of good ice left. Id be walking and also being very careful. fished one lake today and got too nervous after the wind started blasting and the shore started melting out so I left.

I think it's time in the southern part of the province at least to put the ice rods away for the year.

If Wayne is getting off the ice that should tell you all you need to know.

Be careful

Interesting, I always thought it was the SSR! Make sure to let me know when she thaws!

Default May want to check the regs first
May want to try reading the regs before heading anywhere in the south as things are mostly closed. Unless you can walk on water most lakes in the south are open already.

Default Not everything
Check the other thread about when water opens if you are into some fishing. There are still a few places that you can wet a line.
