Let's get the most important priorities settled first. I am most definitely a "he" and have been my entire life (to my knowledge and to the record on my birth certificate)!! :)

Second, I want to...

Well, Buick, do we have a winner?????? Looks like the cold weather is hanging around, impeding ice out.

I predict ice out 2011 will occur at NOON May 1, 2011. OR ... conceivably it could just not happen this year at all because of all the nasty cold weather across North America ... but I will stick...

Hi Gail,

Is the phone problem fixed?

Thanks, Ed. I added that site to my list of favorites. Wow. 25th percentile. That means 75% of the time the water has been higher for this date.

Oh well. We deal with what we have to deal...

I tried to find the website with a search ... but didn't find such an animal.

What is it?

Anybody have an update on the water level? Hopefully much higher than what Red Team Leader posted with a picture in April. Sheesh!

Neat pictures Gail. Thanks for posting them.

Can't wait to get into camp.

Strange. I haven't really been thinking about fishing at all. Been planning our spring scouting for deer to get...

Good Grief! The dock boys are going to have to put ladders alongside each boat so we can climb UP to the dock! :)

Neat pix, Gail. Thank you!

Well, it looks like my May 1 Ice-out prediction is pretty well shot. That's ok ... it was worth the price of admission just to participate. At least that is what I...

I am not sure that is Hank.

Yes, it LOOKS like Hank.

BUT, I don't see the Kokanee!!! It CAN'T be Hank.

Now, that leads to a mystery ... WHERE is the REAL Hank and who is this imposter???

OK. I see Chris got his in ON TIME this year. Well, as in FIRST! lol. (Just teasing, Chris!)

Ok ... let me see. I have studied the weather patterns. I have consulted with all the Kenora...

Great shots, Gail. That buck is doing well. It looks like he has lost zero weight during this winter. Probably because you are feeding him as well as you feed us guests during our visits to camp! ...

The Ice Out contest is an annual event run by one of the WBC customers. It consists of us posters guessing the DAY and HOUR of ice out in Witch Bay as called by Gail.

The guesses have to be in by...

Wow.

I haven't visited the site for about 6 months until this past week (busy fishing and hunting and wasn't around the computer much).

Those pictures are a real treasure. Thank you for...

Dick,

Any advice to us Ice Out contestants about thickness of the ice, snow cover on the ice, local extended weather forecasts, etc?

Anything you can tell us will help.

OK, Mr. Lyle. We are half way through the METEOROLOGICAL winter (December, January, February) and are hopefully coming down the home stretch towards warmer weather. Tough to tell that right now,...

Ahhh, Skippy.

I wouldn't worry about Hank's cabin. I heard that he has gotten rid of some of the mice and that the others aren't leaving many bite marks on sleeping people any more.

It is more...

Thanks for the update. Glad somebody is having fun with ice.

My "fun with ice" has been removing the ice dams from my roof. We had wet snows early in the year and lots of people have been...

Hi Dick,

Gail tells me that you and Barb have been out ice fishing during your spare time as weather permits. What kind of feedback can you give us?

Our weather here in Wisconsin has been...
