Hit publish to quick !

Forgot to add that the earliest we have made BarePoint was on April 10/2012
Latest was May 19/2014
My first ice out prediction was April 25-going to be close.
And it will not allow me to attach photo ? Will try attach in comment section .

Ice update

yesterday I made it as far as Green Bouy E25, will try attach a photo. The top 2" is clear hard ice and bottom 4" is candled.
Greg says it's open water from Queer south into Elbow.
Terry says they can boat from Town to camp Stevens.
In past years when I can push through the ice to this location we have made it to Bare Point anywhere from 7-14 days.
Ice to the South of us is still pretty solid,boat just slides up on top and sits there.
It's -5 this morning and calm so that means we made another 3/8" ice overnight. What we need is a good soaker rain and some wind and this ice would disappear quickly.

We are back !

took truck off the ice Mar 24. On Mar 25 we had approximately 20 geese in the open water at the Narrows along with Golden Eye Ducks. Mar 30 was probably last quad trip to town. We have open water on our side of French Narrows Portage. Tip of Queer Island you have to go over rocks  as it's all open water. Our landing on South Side of Island is now open water. Guessing we should be able to boat to town April 25 ??
