Shaun_300 Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 My camera has been acting up on me, took these pics close to a month ago when we finally got safe ice to fish and skate on. It was about a month late due to warm weather. My God-daughter/cousin Alexis skating Alexis and I My cousin Katie waiting for a bite.

Shaun_300 Posted February 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Re: Pics from mid-January [ QUOTE ] nice pics!! How thick is the ice before you guys go out on it?? [/ QUOTE ] All depends on the lake. I know Golden lake and the Bonnechere River (in the pic) like the back of my hand. So 2 1/2 to 3" is plenty to walk on, fish, skate on. that's about how much was in those pics... I won't take my snowmobile on until there's at least 6", and I don't take the truck on it until there's at least 14-16". Mind you other lakes that I don't know the current flows, I wait until there's a good 4-5" before I even walk on them, there could be 3" in one spot, and a 1/4" in the other. [ QUOTE ] Wow, that's clear ice! [/ QUOTE ] Sure is! The water is crystal clear in this area. I can go out and find the dropoff without even chopping a hole in the ice to check the depth! That's when there's no snow on the ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Re: Pics from mid-January Nice pics Shaun. The one with the hole in the ice must be a little deceiving. Looks pretty thin there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun_300 Posted February 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Re: Pics from mid-January Yup, when you cut a hole and the water comes up it makes the ice look a lot thinner than it actually is. There can be a foot of ice and you look down the hole and it only looks like there's about 6 inches. And yes, the girls had a blast on the skates, and got a kick out of cousin Shaun trying to run and get traction to the holes when we got a bite. I must have fell on my rear end a dozen times.
