When Will The Ice Go Out?
There is a long standing debate each season at Mattice Lake Outfitters about ice. Each Spring we ask two big questions “when will the creeks join on Mattice Lake?” and “when will the ice be off Mattice Lake?” Both questions bring about great debate and guessing which can make the hum drum of Spring a bit more fun. Well fun when we think the ice will be off on time for opening weekend for walleye fishing! Incidentally,walleye season always opens the third Saturday in May each year.
Take A Guess
All that said today (May 1st) the creeks joined and Annette takes first place for that guess! On a typical year we will see Mattice Lake ice free 7 days after the creeks join. Further to that discussion is when does the ice start to break up to the north? Well, we like suggest that happens 7-10 days after Mattice Lake is ice free.
Tell Us What You Think!
Do you follow? This is where it leads to you and your best guess. Do you have a best guess based on this brief discussion? If so, place it by stating so on our facebook fan page or sending us an email at www.walleye.ca or post it at on this blog. Once you have done so we will take your name and enter it into a random draw for a cozy, fleece Mattice Lake Ouitfitter sweater. We will take all submissions until May 15th. All guessing will automatically entered!
Have a wonderful weekend folks.
