Ice Report for Opening Week
Please scroll the entire page for reports on walleye, northern and smallmouth.
Friday May 9, 2008
It is Friday morning May 9th and I am updating the website from a cabin in Perrault Falls. Unfortunately at this time it is not a cabin from camp as I am still unable to reach camp from the roadside due to the ice.
We did make some progress yesterday as the ice on the first and second lakes is finally starting to break up. The BIG lake on the north end (by camp) will be the last to go.
I am still very optimistic that by the opener (May 17) all the ice will be out. We just can't seem to get any temps above 55 degrees or any wind and rain to help at this time.
I will try to update more later in the week, but if we don't lose the ice, I intend to fly into Mud Lake on Sunday and hike into camp from there to get her opened up.
Saturday May 10, 2008
Made very little progress with the ice yesterday despite some sunny skies the temps only reached about 46 degrees with little wind to help.
Ice remains broken away from shore on most areas of the lake, but open expanses are still well covered with solid ice (yet to start breaking up)
Planning to TRY to chop our way into camp later today, with the backup plan to fly in tomorrow.
Weather forecast is still calling for warmer evening temps and highs in the 50's, with a chance of some showers.
