Just so you'll know, the ice went off the local fishing whole sometime between Saturday afternoon (still 90% ice covered) and Tuesday afternoon (then 90% ice free). This is probably useless...
while at camp in late September for a very quick vacation visit, I had the good fortune of meeting Dave B who is a regular participant in the Ice Out Contest. After expressing my considerable dismay...
Gee thanks, Ed. Nero may have played his fiddle while Rome burned, but this idiot captain ate, drank and romanced his lady while his ship sank. With the lake level a bit low right now, some of...
I hope to repeat opening day 12 long days from now.
I need your help. You will note that there were well over 300 views of the Ice Out contest, but there was only 1 reply to this thread. The Facebook page garnered only 2 replies, but I don't know...
Puma 1 - Come On Down!! Ice Out was declared at 2:30 on April 6. With a guess of 2:00 on April 7, Puma 1 was closest being within 23-1/2 hours. Congrats to you, Puma 1. We bow before you as...
The Ice Out contest is open on facebook, so we may as well open it here, too. As always, the rules are simple: enter one (1) guess of the day and hour of day that "ice out" will be declared by Gail...
Forget the last comment. I found you on Facebook and started the ICE OUT contest.
Gail, maybe I'm overlooking something, but what is the log-in to the facebook account?
HD crash? OUCH! Almost as much fun as a root canal, and I know from experience on both counts. Best wishes on even a partial recovery.
The weather has been so warm lately that it's hard - but...
WBC-Regular wanted to know if we have a winner. Well, we certainly do have a winner, and it's none other than (drum roll, please) WBC-REGULAR. In WBC's case, persistence paid off. WBC guessed May...
Dave B is 1000% right about the "potential" value of this board. However, I do fear that the registration and sign-in processes deter far too many "potential" contributors from doing so. Look at...
The time to submit entries to the ice out contest has expired. There is no OT period, no filing extension, no do over. With just 7 courageous entries, we now await the declaration of, "ICE OUT!" ...
I agree, Dave. This site is a valuable source of information that one can use to improve his/her chances when at WB. Our time in camp is too precious to waste learning what one could have learned...
I don't know what winter was like where you live, but here in NW Missouri we had one of the coldest winters in recent memory. It's entirely normal to have a few days, a handful at the most, below 0...
Any update on water levels. I understand the lake to be lower than normal, maybe quite a bit lower, but just how low is it? Any pictures?
There is a rock on the way up to Lake LaBelle that reminds of the rock in your picture. The odd thing about each rock is that they stand as lonely sentinels. There are no similar sized rocks in the...
With a guess of April 18 that was off by "only" 8 days, Fivelines is the official WINNER of Ice Out Contest 10 (or whatever the right number is)!! Congratulations to Fivelines. May your reign be...
Trexie and Fivelines played their cards close to the vest submitting their bids at the last minute so they couldn't be squeezed out by a later bid that was just minutes different than their bids. ...
Fellas, 3 entries out of 241 views? That's 1 entry for every 80 views. Maybe the views are run up by Chris checking 10 times a day to see if anyone has guessed close to his guess. Let's get some...
This may not be the 10th Ice Out Contest (maybe it's the 7th or 8th), but '10 has a nice ring to it.
Notice is hereby given to all persons near and far that Ice Out Contest '10 is officially...
I was looking at the sites from the Kenora web cam and thought I saw open water on Kenora Bay. The thought did occur to me that it's high time to get the Ice Out contest started. I'll post the...
Janelle, assuming there is a contest next winter, please try again. Give ol' DaveB a run for his crown.
In what may be the closest race in Contest history, Dave B is our winner for 2009. Wayne called ice out at 1:30 pm on May 4. Dave B was exactly 24 hours off with his guess of May 3 at 1:30 pm. ...
