Hey @limacharley Think I can cast a cleo out into the open water? LOL I figure next week. Geez Louise, Last year it was almost open.

Safe bet there will be atleast floaters for opener maybe more.

Red Pine opening up a bit every day. There is hope...

Great pics keep them coming! My May 4th ice out date is a bust but hopefully some warmer weather comes in May for our opener guys. I'm up the first week of June and i'm getting nervous/curious to see how the water levels/temps will effect the fishing.

June will be fine if anything 6 inches high

[crunchie]

Snowing quite a bit here in Temiscaming, about an inch and half on the ground and still snowing.  Grrrrr

LOL
May 12 is looking good

It appears my guess of today is a good week off.

[crackers42]

I would say two weeks from now not much sooner

Ya, sounds about right. The bay in front of me is ice free and the main lake is clearing up. not fast enough. water under the bridge is fast and furious. most I've ever seen. water levels are rising fast and there is still a lot of snow to melt.

[crackers42]

Water under the bridge is due to a large drop that is right in the center once the main law rises this drop will even off.   More run off will actually make it better and easier to pass under

Lake levels are now almost at summer levels and rising fast. I met some roads ministry guys at the bridge yesterday. They were sent out to inspect all the local bridges and roads. Even the gov't is concerned about the water levels and bridges. I'm hoping all the extra water in the lake will help break up the ice.

Generally when lake is up fish extremely shallow water especially in June we don’t fish Water more then 10 to 15 feet at most.  Opener go deeper 25 feet

Wouldn’t doubt you see the lake drop a bit when they open up the damm
