I guess if your not dead on the 17 by drowneding, I would venture out on the 24th, except deer season isn't over so it has to wait anyway.

I am hoping for early ice again, but doubtful I will be on by Nov. 9 like last year, I will say the 15th for this year.

My guess.....November 26th! Where do I send my dollar

....for the pool

Right now I'm still holding on to my golf clubs but dusting off the rifle for my BIG hunting adventure in 3.5 weeks. On dewey mornings....you can smell that Fall is in the air.......or is that the smell of anticipation

It's never soon enough!!!

Girlfriend and I just bought a house two weeks ago and its completely gutted right now right down to the studs. I'm in the middle of framing and plumbing and wiring all before the drywall contractor comes next week $35,000 in renos and I lay awake at night thinking of alterations I want to make to my hardside!!!

By the way does anyone know if I could claim my ice shack as a seasonal residence and get Manitoba Hydros Insulation incentives for it??

Does the Goverment still own MB hydro? and do you belong to a minority?

MB Hydro is a provincial crown corporation legislated to exist in this province.

Also, yes I do belong to a minority (a group of individuals that squander the last long weekend of the summer wishing it was the first weekend of winter)

sled-in · « **Reply #18 on:** Sep 03, 2007, 10:17 AM »

Then I don't see any reason why with the equal and greater rights of the minorities, you should not be able to get a grant to pay to insulate your seasonal residence, this being Canada and everything

Oct 20 in northern BC on certain small lakes....Nov 15 on bigger ones

Mainehazmt · « **Reply #20 on:** Sep 04, 2007, 10:16 AM »

alas seems no sooner than Jan 15th not much legally available in a reasonable distance from here before that

Thriller · « **Reply #21 on:** Sep 08, 2007, 02:39 PM »

Since I've started ice fishing, there's always been fishable ice by the last weekend in November for sure. I'll say Nov. 20....

elcapitanmas · « **Reply #22 on:** Sep 08, 2007, 06:04 PM »

Im going for the 1st weekend in november. Just have to find the right body of water with the correct natural surroundings.

Cant come soon enough.

There is nothing better thatn the first day out with a thermos of special coffee,a massive baloney sandwich and Grey Cup on the radio while you fish like crazy. It's a uniquely Canadian experience!

Nov 20 Warroad Mn

Bring it on i'm more then ready !

Ashnohgrimbatul · « **Reply #25 on:** Sep 15, 2007, 08:44 AM »

I'm guessing that small lakes in the whiteshell will be good to go by November 15th. Can't wait.

sled-in · « **Reply #26 on:** Sep 15, 2007, 03:52 PM »

I think the one thing that keeps me safe is deer hunting season ends at the end of Nov. so I won't be testing the ice too soon, but I do need Ice in the beginning of Dec., I want to snowmobile into my cabin then to #1 get the trail in early and #2 to fish.

Boatless · « **Reply #27 on:** Sep 18, 2007, 10:03 AM »

Just picked up a 4 man Ice Cube and a 10" power auger. Just need a Mr. Heater and a sled and I'm all set with new and more portable gear.

My mission this year is to break 25" on a trout and 40" on a northern. I've got my eyes on a couple spots that should be ready by mid-late Nov.
