Are there any locals who would be able to call the official ice out?

Hey Nancy, I sent a message to a friend who lives in Kipawa. They will let me know when the ice leaves the lake. Hope this is okay as an official ruling. Let me  know, Thanks.

@wayne , that is great. Thanks so much.

I'll guess April 24th.

My internet has been down the last couple of days. I'm back on now. lake Maclaughlin is mostly free of ice I can boat to Mackenzie camps and probably into Grindstone. There's a bay that goes south from here with less current and it's still freeing up but clearing by the day. lake level is down large but filling daily about 2 inches a day. Hoping to be able to troll for lakers soon.

Lakers open April 23rd as far as I understand the regs.

Looks very promising for us to get back to camp at the end of April !

FYI. The lake in front of my camp is now completely clear of ice.

Saw these shot posted today from friends who live across from the main launch in town....can"t verify yet if the entire lake is open.

Ok our friends have boated from the town launch to our place at sunnyside...they said there were a few floaters etc but water flowing freely...i have 2 pics of our dock which i will post later when i get a chance...anyone pick today for ice out..lol?

Completely open no sign of ice anywhere

Ice out April 9
😁

Kipawa outposts that rents houseboats
Is out in his float plane right now
He will know if there is any ice left anywhere

Don’t think so though Green Lake our from Kipawa is wide open no sign of ice anywhere

Lots of boats coming and going from Kipawa ramp

Hey Guy's,  I have been in touch with several friends from Kipawa, some did boat to there camps today and Paul did fly over the lake to check things out. You can see the pictures on his face book page. Still large patches of ice floating around in certain area's, so I think it should be completely ice free  by tomorrow morning. So this year I think it's only fair that we have  2 winners of the ice out contest April 10th and 11th.  If everyone agrees with this, then send your name and mailing address in a pm or to info@kipawalodge.com and I will mail the hats and shirts. Here's  hoping for a somewhat normal season, enjoy your time on the lake everyone, Stay safe!
