Hi Doug

Its getting close to icing over!! Last night was cold -18'C But it was windy and tonight is -18'C again with low winds
So it could ice over But then we have +5 and showers coming in for the weekend Then more cold.

With this forecast its very hard to say if there will be fishable ice mid Jan.

My guess would be "IF" the winds stay down we could be on the "Perch" grounds by Jan 18.

If you are planning to fish Lakers/Whitefish I would say it is doubtful there will be fishable ice over the Big Lake by mid Jan.

Cheers
Rick

markjsolomon · « **Reply #14 on:** Jan 10, 2016, 05:00 PM »

i am in innisfil 9th line after all this rain I think we are back to square one but maybe this coming weekend? The East side always freezes up first and their huts are on almost a week before the west side

nocod · « **Reply #15 on:** Jan 10, 2016, 08:24 PM »

The boys where out at Virginia Beach,2/3 inches of ice,I hope it stayed?

markjsolomon · « **Reply #16 on:** Jan 11, 2016, 07:15 PM »

I was at Gilford Rd access today almost frozen over from there south. North of there it's on and off. At innisfil beach road is wide open

My buddy lives on Georgina island and yesterday he told me there were still a lot of open water spots and what is there is not considered very safe

not a problem! Actually spoke do my body on Georgina island again today and he said that some guys were going out on the ice but that the locals that live around him we're calling them morons because it's not safe

Best way to find out about the ice on lake simcoe is to google blue ice report, follow the link to youtube. Forget the guys name, but he is always posting updates on the ice, almost daily.

Fisherman 1 · « **Reply #22 on:** Jan 15, 2016, 09:03 AM »

It's not worth the trip yet, most of the lake is still wide open. Here's your link to the blue Ice Report. https://www.youtube.com/user/THEBLUEICEREPORT

nocod · « **Reply #23 on:** Jan 15, 2016, 09:17 AM »

The boys will be out this weekend for sure,A few of the bays may be ready,keep the spud with you and check as you go.

Blizzardfisher

Have you been talking to your buddy from Georgina Is? How's the ice situation up there now?

pete/ny · « **Reply #25 on:** Jan 17, 2016, 09:26 AM »

Last night CTV News had a video and interviews with some but operators and videos showed that the ice is unsafe at the majority of popular fishing areas.

Just heard a guy went for a swim on a bike,still early for the toys.

blizzardfisher · « **Reply #29 on:** Jan 18, 2016, 02:28 PM »

Just heard from him at 3:20 today. He said to inches nearshore 4 inches further out And with the cold weather it should be getting better. He also noted he saw some sleds pulling hearts out on the ice but doesn't recommend that and would not take his own sled or atv out!
