I spoke to Krista's bait @ Hall's lake Wednesday. she said the larger lakes such as Hall's still had open water and only the bays had ice. She said some of the smaller lakes closer to the town of haliburton had frozen over. With the cold weather this week they should be doing better. There has been snow up there which may slow the growth of ice. I have a few small lakes to check out. ie 500 m across that I'm hoping to be frozen. I'm taking my son who's 11. so we woulnt be taking any chances. We are not looking to be out on 2.5" of ice. If I find 4"+ of good ice we'll fish, otherwise were are bringing along our snowboards and will head over to Sir Sam's for a day on the slopes. If anyone has first hand info on how back lakes in Haliburton are doing re ice, please chime in.
