Ice out in Red lake pool (Joe is putting up a $100 prize)

That yardstick can be 4-6" off at times!

[Hornblower]

Should not have posted that video. I'll bet there's a couple of a#*holes in an MNR truck heading there right now with a no-helmet ticket.

Don't worry, I believe that he is exempted from that rule due to his extra thick cranium.

Hugh's a great guy. When he did moose surveys with me in the Turbo-Beaver I never needed a ladder to put wing covers on. He's the only guy I know thats tall enough to hunt geese with a rake.

[Dr. Mcillicuddy]

Didnt think that they pilled bullshit that high

[Kzanol]

The Bush Hawk took off the ice today, getting closer.

[Lost Lake]

Is that the poor slave for CFF getting ready to do another years worth of slavery? Getting ready to haul all those motors by himself. Oh the memories!!

[floatpilot]

Must be getting close?

[Rowdy]

Hows it lookin' ???

Is the ice out a bit further south yet? Kenora? Selkirk? Ear falls? etc???

[AnywhereBound]

Its getting darker, but last night/yesterday got fairly cold and slowed its progress until late this afternoon. Looks like good weather for a little while I think we're right on track for the 10th haha.. 2 planes in the river right now, all the lakes are frozen over in the area except the very shallow potholes.

If that's the same bushhawk I'm thinking of... S. is married to the owner! My wife and I always enjoyed joining them at their place for a fish-fry... nice people, although I never worked for them...

I'm thinking ice-out on the 9th of May...

Well from 40,000 ft two days ago most of Lake Of the Woods is open and it looked like Kenora was almost ice free. Selkirk I'm sure is wide open. A week ago the lakes around Red Lake and Ear Falls looked like some good spring ice conditions but with the temperatures and wind I'm sure the ice will rot fast. Getting risky to find ice to land on these days in North Western Ontario. Ah memories of working on the spring ice.....beautiful time of year!

That means WE win... haha 60 for me/40 for you, only seems fair. lol.

[Maynard]

No no, Monday morning....I take any currency!

[Mooseman]

Any news on the ice or lack of in Ear Falls, Red lake, Sious Lookout?

[Kzanol]

NPO landed out by the windsock on Red Lake this morning... but there is still ice all the way up the west shoreline of Howey bay. Does that count?

[floatpilot]

nope

[Maynard]

No way, ice is out! wooo!

[AnywhereBound]

Theres still no planes sitting in the bay, everyone is overnighting in the river... I'd say until tomorrow, the 10th, when the rest of the ice floating around there is going to completely melted hahaha..

[Kzanol]

So today was the day... Planes in the water at Viking and Greens, still a bit of ice surrounding Chimo's docks, but nobody cares about those losers

[AnywhereBound]

The ice is probably going to be gone by later this evening anyways with the rain and all, today was definitely the day... It was a busyish day in Howey Bay.

[FighterPilot]

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!

[Rowdy]

I'll see you boys next week

[just curious]

So, what you're tying to say is... I lost again? C'mon, at least once in the last 30 years I should have been close!
