Ksam1234 Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 So I fish a couple small lakes and ponds .. I went to see if the ice was thawed Monday bc it has been 67-70'degrees, random heat wave. And it still had about quarter inch or inch of ice. Now it's supposed to stay around 50'degreees for the high and 42 degrees for the low all week. By the time weekend comes do you think the lake would be thawed or half thawed so I could fish?? Quote
Super User webertime Posted February 21, 2018 Super User Posted February 21, 2018 If it was windy, then definitely. Otherwise might still be frozen. I walked across on of the larger bays on Champlain Saturday... Over 20" of ice still... (Goes back to the corner and cries) 1 Quote
Super User scaleface Posted February 21, 2018 Super User Posted February 21, 2018 I think it would be gone . Waters around here have thawed and refroze several times . 1 Quote
Scarborough817 Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 There is a small lake near me that has started to thaw already, I was out pike fishing Monday. It thawed out more yesterday as well. i think yours should have at least some open spots next weekend it hasn't been that warm near me yet highest was around 15oc or 59of 1 Quote

RPreeb Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 Sunday was 69°. Nice. Monday was 14°. Tuesday was 22° with 2" of fresh snow on the ground in the morning. By Friday we might hit a freezing 32°. No thaw to worry about around here yet. Quote

I guess it's time to drop by Cabela's and order my Christmas present from my wife - Old Town Discovery 133 canoe. Want to put it on my Cabela's Card for the points... they seem to be the same price everywhere. Along with paddles and PFD's, it'll be around $1200, plus shipping to my house (I think. not sure on that yet). That's the only way I can get it shipped - they don't ship to store for canoes, and they don't stock them at the store. Lot's of kayaks, but no canoes. Quote
