No frozen water near Montreal.  You will have to go north of Mont Laurier for ice.  But, the cold weather is with us now.  There should be ice very soon.

-18 tonight in Ottawa  :) You and Scummer should try and make it down for some pannies and pike next week sometime...there's a solid 3'' on a few spots down here  ;) ;) By the looks of the long term forecast we should see at least 6''-7'' later on in the week... :tipup:

Also going to see Ed tomorrow to pick up my new Marcum VS-250 Underwater veiwing system...Yipee :whistle:

Soon, real soon.. I can smell it now.  The geese on the river have finally gotten the hint and left town I think... didn't see them this morning and the river is iced over so I am hoping the quiet bays on the lakes are well under way.

Best to wait a while though, had a very unpleasant experience this summer in the ocean, almost drowned trying to save a little girl stuck in a rip tide... mother nature is stronger than us sometimes.

Bonne saison 2007 tout le monde !

Hey Cuz

Anywhere it's frozen and within a two hour drive.. that's how bad I'm itchin !  I am really hoping the first outing will be on Memphre but I'm open for suggestions !

Just received my arsenal of lures for 2007 season.

Sturgeon wants to go too, I think he's suffering from cabin fever.  PS- great movie if you're bored - rent it.

cheers

I am winterizing the boat and getting my ice gear ready.

Hopefully memphre will be frozen over, if not there is another lake I fish during the summer that will be frozen over, but I haven't figured out the walleye their yet during the winter. Mind you I never looked around much for them either.

There are some perch, nice ones but I never really targetted them either during the winter.

My buddy and I plan to go to Chibougamau real soon....for a day of fishing.  Another of our fishing buddies moved to Chibougamau a few weeks ago.  He has been fishing a little but he mostly targets lake trout.  We plan to go for pike and walleye mostly.  Are there any places you recommend to fish where we don't have to walk too far yet have decent fishing?  We plan to bring a bunch of small fresh frozen smelt as bait.  I've heard that such bait is hard to get in Chibougamau.  Nightcrawlers are cheap and easy to get here in Chicoutimi too.  Should we bring nightcrawlers too?  Is there anything you would like us to deliver to you?

Salut Dabluz,
How long is your smelts? I'm interesting for smaller and Icebigboy surely. Bring small smelts to catch walleyes and we have more success with jigging rod. We have smelt in Chibougamau but there are big. For pike, tip up is great. Almost all of lake have walleye but without snowmobile?? Try lakes near 113 road and forestry road Barrette Sud. Good luck and keep us informed of your trip. NW50°

I've got about 8 dozen smelt from 3 to 4 inches long.  I use real small hooks (size 12) when fishing for smelt.  Some smelt I catch are so small, they are almost transparent.  I use those for big brook trout in the Saguenay.

Any Ice reports out there for the region ? Memphremagog, Champlain,Lac Brome ???

I am wondering if it will be ready for this weekend, with the cold temps this week.

Hey cuz
My dad went by champlain on the weekend, still open water.
He said he could see waves.
I believe around here we will be extremely lucky to be fishing by the end of this month.
I'll call Sorel this week and be in touch.
Brian.
