I've heard reports of 7-9" on the river portion of the lake as well as the same amount at EB Campbell Dam, no reports of anyone being out on the big lake with sleds or ice conditions. Post up if you have any reports from Tobin, I'm more interested in ice reports at this point. I know the boys at Tobin know better than to share how fishing actually is

I didn't take your advice, lol. Had a day off so out at Carrols Cove. Cold and windy today, but warm in my popup.

Anyone know if its worth to stay at the tobin lake resort and do some ice fishing in December in front of the resort? We usually come up in the summer to fish Tobin but have always wanted to fish it in the winter............

until I can actually physically make it out their im just blowing smoke telling everybody its ****ty, lol I need more hours in a day...

Any reports of people driving out on the flats yet? Heard that vehicles were on the ice at Gingeras yesterday, but didn't hear an actual ice depth figure. We can't be far off driving on the big lake I figure.

A buddy drilled his way out on the flats on Wednesday, anywhere from 5-11", stay safe!

Yikes, well in that case looks like we have a week or more of cold weather before driving out that way, I don't like driving out on less than 12", 5" is just crazy! Thanks for the heads up.

DBK81 · « **Reply #8 on:** Dec 13, 2013, 10:30 AM »

So, any trucks going out onto the flats yet? I know trucks have been on at Gingeras and Carrols Cove. Waiting to get out on the big lake. Any reports on ice out on the flats would be great.

prairiedog · « **Reply #9 on:** Dec 18, 2013, 01:25 PM »

I was on the big lake last weekend, drove out with truck, 2 weeks prior there was 7-9 inches. Last weekend there was 23 inches at my shack.

DBK81 · « **Reply #10 on:** Dec 18, 2013, 09:28 PM »

Thanks for the update, I was out at Carols Cove on Monday and got that same message about half way through the day, if it wasn't so windy I would have picked up and left, it was very slow that day, nothing like a couple weeks before in the same spot.

whitetail/walleyefreak · « **Reply #11 on:** Dec 22, 2013, 05:24 PM »

We are heading to Tobin for the day tomorrow to fish either Tobin lake resort or Gingerras. Just wondering if anyone has fished either place in the last few days and could let me know if guys have been driving on and how the fishing was

DBK81 · « **Reply #12 on:** Dec 29, 2013, 03:44 PM »

After the wind and snow we got on Friday how is driving out on the big lake? Can you still get onto the lake at the South end of the flats? Any info would be great. Thanks.

quickstrikepike · « **Reply #13 on:** Dec 30, 2013, 11:45 AM »

Tried to get out on the flats yesterday its drifted in solid unless you want to dig for hours I'd just stay home

DBK81 · « **Reply #14 on:** Dec 31, 2013, 08:27 AM »

Yup heard from many sources that unless you want to dig out your truck bring a sled to the flats, too bad, I didn't even get to drive out to Elk Island once this year. Hate this snow and this cold sucks too.

KenH · « **Reply #15 on:** Dec 31, 2013, 03:24 PM »

Just read on MOD that you can drive on to the flats

prairiedog · « **Reply #16 on:** Dec 31, 2013, 04:25 PM »

i have been driving on with a truck, last time i was out was Sat.28th. Not much snow on the lake, but there is getting to be some hard drifts, plenty of ice.

matiachuk · « **Reply #17 on:** Jan 01, 2014, 08:28 AM »

Got my truck stuck out on the flats the other day just gotta pick up speed and don't stop. I thought I seen a heave so I slowed down so I guess it's my own fault.

prairiedog · « **Reply #18 on:** Jan 02, 2014, 08:20 PM »

drove on today

DBK81 · « **Reply #19 on:** Jan 02, 2014, 08:37 PM »

More snow, more wind

is it going to be 2013 all over again?

KenH · « **Reply #20 on:** Jan 02, 2014, 10:08 PM »

kinda looks that way after looking at the forecast for tomorrow wind gusts up to 55

Walleye2013 · « **Reply #21 on:** Jan 02, 2014, 11:11 PM »

The drifts are pretty hard out there a guy can stand on top of alot of them sleded about 20miles on the lake today she was pretty rough the wind and cold weather in the forecast won't help that situation.

saskriverman · « **Reply #22 on:** Jan 03, 2014, 12:42 AM »

cheaper to sled out than pop a tranny playing in the snow

matiachuk · « **Reply #23 on:** Jan 03, 2014, 11:47 AM »

Drove out the other day and it was good no problems venturing out onto the lake this time

whitetail/walleyefreak · « **Reply #24 on:** Jan 03, 2014, 09:34 PM »

had no issues driving out today. Sure got windy by 11 or so though. It sure got windy by 11 though. we were confined to the tent.

the wizzard · « **Reply #25 on:** Jan 08, 2014, 12:56 PM »

coming out again this march.hope the weather is nice to us guys. we always have a good time fishing. its been a brutally cold winter this year out in mass. too.

quickstrikepike · « **Reply #26 on:** Jan 11, 2014, 09:55 PM »

Drive out to the shack today but she was tough going! If
We get this snow were supposed to I think we will be in trouble

gyman98 · « **Reply #27 on:** Jan 24, 2014, 11:17 AM »

How's the fishing? Where is a good place to go coming in from the south?

saskarcher · « **Reply #28 on:** Feb 20, 2014, 12:42 PM »

this weekend's trip up to Tobin was cancelled(wheel bearing on truck). Planning on going next weekend. What is the ice thickness like up there? The past two years we've been skunked everytime. Where is the best place to fish keeping in mind that we don't know the lake. We will probably be going in from the resort side again.

prairiedog · « **Reply #29 on:** Feb 20, 2014, 01:30 PM »

lots of ice, there is a plowed road out onto the flats until it storms again, there are a couple plowed roads right the resort too
