Passing by there on Monday. Will check ice and give a report.

lostman · « **Reply #16 on:** Nov 27, 2012, 06:10 PM »

hey fishaman did you still drive by on monday? still wonderring about the ice conditions there

fishaman · « **Reply #17 on:** Nov 28, 2012, 08:55 AM »

Lyons was iced over. Didn't check thickness. With this cold weather it should be good for the weekend. Going to Kenora on friday. Will check thickness.

sled dude · « **Reply #18 on:** Nov 28, 2012, 05:38 PM »

The fact that it iced over is a good sign. Last year Dec.3rd me and buddy hit the ice there and the lake as wide open with the exception of about 50 yards out. Fished beside the "T" dock on 3" with open water not far away, the water was only 5 1/2' feet deep, but managed 6 i believe in 2 hours. Can't wait to hit the ice and have a rematch with the monster rainbow my buddy dropped back in the hole! LOL

BBB · « **Reply #19 on:** Nov 28, 2012, 06:19 PM »

i think that lake ices quick because a week after you were out the weekend of december 11 last year me and a buddy went out and there was ten inches so I'm guessing by this weekend it should be good if its been completly frozen over already since monday and its been around -20 the last few nights

fishaman · « **Reply #20 on:** Nov 28, 2012, 06:59 PM »

Yeah it already looked like it had been frozen a couple of days. Small animal prints on it. I walked along the railing at the T dock a few steps, and it felt solid. Just didn't want to venture out too far, and the plan was to get my auger out on the way home but had some vehicle issues that ate up all my time...I will be there on Sat if everything goes according to plan...

sled dude · « **Reply #21 on:** Nov 28, 2012, 07:59 PM »

Ya it does ice up pretty fast usually. I remember you from 2 years ago BBB we were out there early in Dec together, I believe you were with 2 buddies and were doing a hell of alot better then us that day, and you were like 15 yards behind my eskimo. If ya head out let me know how ya do, its looking now like i wont be getting out till at least the 9th..... Damn work eh?

BBB · « **Reply #22 on:** Nov 28, 2012, 08:14 PM »

haha yea that was us we had a pretty awesome morning there i remember you guys now. I got lucky our season just finished for work now so I've got a few weeks off while I'm looking for another job so ill definitely be doing some fishing haha and will do i think we'll be there either sat or sunday but ill let you know how it goes

sled dude · « **Reply #23 on:** Nov 28, 2012, 08:16 PM »

Ya man that would be great. Ive never iced Hunt, I remember you guys saying you went there that morning... is it any good there during hard water? Have had luck in the spring, but never tried in the winter.

fishaman · « **Reply #24 on:** Nov 28, 2012, 08:17 PM »

BBB and a buddy did the same to us last year, but when they moved they left behind a little piece of their secret weapon....

sled dude · « **Reply #25 on:** Nov 28, 2012, 08:19 PM »

Its like that feeling when your out for whitetail and you haven't seen anything and you hear shooting coming from every where.... makes you wonder sometimes lol

fishaman · « **Reply #26 on:** Nov 28, 2012, 08:50 PM »

Exactly!

lostman · « **Reply #27 on:** Nov 28, 2012, 09:28 PM »

BBB · « **Reply #28 on:** Nov 28, 2012, 11:35 PM »

haha yep always works there we seem to out fish everyone using that the trout seem to like it.

fishaman · « **Reply #29 on:** Nov 30, 2012, 11:28 PM »

Stopped by Lyons this morning and drilled a few holes. Didn't venture out too far, but there was 3" of ice near the dock. Take proper precautions, figured the ice would have been thicker by now.....
