Does anyone have a current ice conditions for Hague ? We are coming up this week and are staying at the Trout House. We would like to fish for lakers and perch. If anyone has some input it would be greatly appreciated, maybe even a second choice up in that area instead of coming down to Bolton. Thank you.
I was out yesterday. 6-8" of snow with crust on top, if I didn't have a wheeler I wouldn't have even left the parking lot.
Wheeler has chains and is ready to go. Did you go out of Hearthstone?
Are you going to break a trail for us walkers out the the deep water?
I did ya a solid ed
Yes but probably not going to Vet's tomorrow. I don't trust that ice on the deep water there yet with a machine.
Lots of snow and ice
Went up north today. About 8 inches of black ice. 2 inches of water and about 6 inches of sloppy snow. Rain didn’t knock it down that much just made it nasty. Normally run my atv in 2 wd. I had to run it in 4x4 with the lockers on. The shore line is pretty jacked up. I had to drive through about 1.5 feet of water before the ice. Ice is kinda sketchy tapering down in thickness towards deep water. Came across some pressure ridges that I wasn’t able to cross. Didn’t look too bad in the am but I walked up and drilled less the 4 inches. By the time I packed up it had standing water around it. Also noticed a big wet spot about mid way into the lake. If your walking being an extra pair a legs because it’s going to suck. Lol. Oh yeah and good rubber boots !
I was at Rogers rock. Snow cover looked the same down the lake.
Thanks for the info. I'm guessing that water hole is the shoreline torn up from machines? Something to consider about using them a little later so walkers can still access.
Walking should be good Sunday any slush should be hard as a rock with lows 5°-10° with a breeze
