Winter outlook for Canada

[buuddy]

It's time again to extrapolate the weather conditions to see how our winter shapes up. So far it looks really good for ice fishing.

To be fair when is not freezing cold in Saskatoon?

I'd like to say something witty back, but we did have frost last night

I'm here in Winnipeg, um I mean Winterpeg - you guys got nothing on me. 

Go Jets Go! 

[IceAddict87]

I envy you guys, a short ice season is about what a record season would be like for us. I only went out on the ice a couple times with more that 6".

Looks good to me in Northern Wi.

[IceAddict87]

Looks good for us too agro! Let's just hope for a long season this year!

[bb400guy]

Most years 3' of ice, colder than usual years 4'-5' of ice.

This might be the year to buy an extension for the auger, thanks for posting

It has been about 3 or 4 years since we have had more than about 22” of ice. About 5 years ago I did buy an extension for my jiffy we had close to 3 feet by the end of March the lakes were still ice covered for the opener in May. I never did use my new extension yet.

A couple years ago I had my extention on my Jiffy Model 30 on Bitter lake in South Dakota still ran the thing up to the handle bars before it broke through......was a good year.

Better to have one and not need it, than the other way around!!! 

[ran7ger]

 i can't remember a year i didn't need the extension, they just stay on both augers.

[Scandi]

Yes, definitely better to have the option! I was right up to the powerhead last year, but still managed to squeeze by.

Exactly!
