driving?

[ybone]

 Just wondering if anyone is driving on the lakes yet?

[friendly fishing]

Driving on last mountain north end some are chancing the southend I heard no one has driven down the lake as of yet but I dont think it will be to long now before they start

[trev.357]

i've been on buffalo pound the past week there is about 15-17 inches of ice .but after the snow storm last night i might not be driving any more good thing i moved the shack to my late winter spot

[Spicoli]

I was at Anglin during the week, and there were some people driving on it, but most were getting stuck, there is about a foot of snow and then 6-7 inches of slush underneath the snow, so i wouldn't really suggest driving yet.

Been driving on Blackstrap since boxing day. 18" of solid ice.

[fish nut]

fish nut here: just got back from Codet lake  up north fishing was very slow and there is 3 feet of ice and 6 inches of snow on it.
note: was very cold if you didn't dress for the weather and most impotent GET A POWER AUGER!!!!

[Skiff]

Fish nut - I take it you were HAND augering?? Groan..... 3 feet of ice 

[fish nut]

fish nut here: NO I have a power auger but I drilled about 10 holes for some gay.
I have all the toys for fishing  the water is to cloudy to use my camera.
You can only see 2.5 feet with it at Codet.

Same goes for Mission(on the north side by Lebret,at least)

[buzzbomb]

Are they still biting there?

Are they still biting there?

Not yesterday morning--2 of us were out,got 1 walleye and,of course, a few tulibee....lots showed up on the flasher,but didn't seem interested no matter what we tried.
 If you believe in barometric pressure affecting fish, then yesterday was not the day for fishing,as the pressure did a huge drop all day....at least, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

[buzzbomb]

Well, if you ever run out of excuses I've got the whole catalogue ready!
I might get to go to Spring Bay tomorrow, the Mission on Sunday, which should make up for missing all last week!

[Tombo]

I hadn't been there since the storm and was surprised the ice thickness hadn't changed all that much,but I guess all that snow covering is insulating even with this cold weather. I would think that might prove a little dangerous on some lakes--like Katepwa ,for instance,where you have a few underground springs...guys are going to have to watch where they drive. good luck this weekend

[buzzbomb]

Wasn't it Katepwa where those 2 old guys drove in years ago, and nobody knew they were gone till they didn't show up to get their pension cheques in the mail?
I doubt if we'll drive on anywhere if there's tons of snow...even with 4x drive.

Actually,no-it was Mission.  They were either going to, or coming from the bar and thought they would avoid the highway by using an ice road-apparently it was the old river bed where the ice wasn't as thick and they went through.....one H!!L of a way to die-those families went through a lot because they didn't find them for a long time. Never heard the pension cheque part --may have been added later for embellishment. The car had power windows otherwise there is the off chance it might have turned out different.
