Ice-out 2012: Agimak Lake, Ignace Ontario

The effect of an unusually warm and early spring was captured in a series of photos taken (with an iPhone) of Ignace Airways seaplane base around 9 am each morning between March 14 and April 4, 2012.
Official ice-out was March 27th. The earliest on record was April 6th!

Ice Out May 5/09

Ice went out last night!  We woke to a clear lake except for a few push ups of ice along the shore inside the break wall. 

It never ceases to amaze me how the ice can be 8 inches thick one day and gone the next.  A little wind and above freezing temps sure help. 

Now that Agimak lake is open we can prepare to bring the birds home.

What happened to Spring?

Just when we thought spring was well on the way we woke up today (Sat April 26) to a major winter storm. Some areas in Northwestern Ontario have received over 30 cm (1 foot) of snow over the last 24 hours. In Ignace we ended up with mostly freezing rain and now it is snowing and drifting. With temps forecast to be lower than normal, we may be looking at ice out being delayed.

I guess we can only grin and bear it while we wait for break up...

In spite of the snow happening at the moment, we know open water and great fishing is just around the corner. If you are thinking about a Canadian Fishing trip this summer, give me a call at 807-934-2273 and we will get you set up at Ignace Outposts. See our web site for more details.
