Christmas Ice Fishing?

[Murf]

I was heading to the Oshawa area around Christmas this year.  Would there be enough ice if a guy drove up to the Muskoka area to get out on the ice?  You guys have a lot warmer weather and I am not sure how far a guy would even have to drive north to get on some ice and drop a line.

Ice can still be hard to find in mid to late december, but I think you best bet would be lake Scugog. It is a shallow flat lake, and if we get some cold temps it would be the first to freeze. Both perch and crappie fishing would be open (Walleye opens Jan 1)

Check in as the dates get closer

Depends on the lake, and snow conditions. Last year I was pulling perch through 4-5 inches of good ice between Bracebridge and Huntsville, sitting over 7-8FOW.  Wasn't ready to walk too far down the lake, but got my fix as of Dec. 26

 I've been doing renos to the ice shack lately, I was looking at the wall where I always write the date down when the shack first goes out for the season. Last year I put it out on the 24th of December the year before it was early Dec. 9th. Hopefully this is another early season on the Miss. Don't know wether you will be that lucky in southern Ont.
