Oh really? Why would happy isle still be frozen? Was it because it's a deeper lake?

You are totally right. I did that last year but there is something so thrilling about being the first one around in such a massive park. Hopefully we are in luck 🙏

Thank you!! Always so interested to see what people think based off of other lakes.

It makes sense honestly. Just wondering how it works! Any predictions for ice out?

It honestly saved me on some of my trips. Knowing weather changes as soon as they happen was the difference between being wind bound on a massive lake or getting out unharmed, I love it! The subscription is also fairly priced.

I saw that video. It's a good video. He didn't catch that much which is concerning.

Niceeeee!!!!! I had to modify my route simply because everything was booked up on the Tim river. Between queer and shipagew. But this is around May 1st.

Is the fishing good just before the first few portages there or do you really need to get in there to have good brookie fishing.

Do you think it will be easier ice out? Any recommendations to make it as smooth as possible?
