The boys are on in the Yukon

[TGF]

Just heard from an acquaintance that he was fishing in the Yukon a couple days ago on a small iced over lake. 4 inches of ice. Shouldn't be long now boys and girls.

Yeah and their ice season goes till mid May......7 months of the hard stuff.

Where abouts in the Yukon Terry?
We have some ice but it is going to take a hit over the next few days as they are calling for +6 tomorrow.
Atleast the forcast has changed in the last couple of days. They were calling for +9 and rain on Saturday, but it has been changed to +1 and a snow rain mix.

Terry it sounds like it is time for the Green Hermit's first trip of the 2009-2010 season . Seven months of ice sounds great the downside must be the home heating bill.
   May you and all the B.C. members have a sucessful and safe ice season.

Thanks Steve. You all have a great season to. I burn wood here in northern BC and have loads of wood out my back door so pretty cheap. Unfortunately Yukon is still quite a ways north of us

Not exactly sure where Dave but he told me he could show me on a map. Probably northern section around Faro would be my guess. Said it was a small lake. I also told him we like pictures

I figured as much.

We gots some ice here too, but I'm not puttin' my fat butt on it yet.   
Here's some shots from yesterday of my closest lake to home.
It houses Pike, Walleye and whitefish.

Is that an ice hut in the last pic? Should be good.....just take a floater suit and ice picks just in case

Not a hut, it's a cardboard box or something.
It's only about 25 yds away.   

I put 1/2 weight on the ice and it was cracking, there's NO WAY I'm setting foot out there.

Guess I should have looked at the footprints.....poor puter at work
