Lake Simcoe Report

[Dusty]

Hi Folks
Thought I would give are cross border friends an update on ice & snow conditions.

The ice in Cooks Bay in the South is "18" and the snow is about a foot deep still good going on atv ideal for snowmobile.

To the north of Cooks bay on west side the ice varies from "13" to "7" in spots out by long shoal and the Islands. The snow gets deeper as you travel north from '1' to '2' out by the shoal the wind is packing it down some and travel by atv is a little tricky in spots with some slush .

The fishing from Cooks bay to the North has been exceptional this year but alot of sorting, it seems like we had a good spawn of perch this year.The ususal minows bugs small tackle light line all working well.

I had a group up from Michigan last week and one of them caught a Trophy Walleye "30" in length and a wopping 14.5 :yikes: lbs caught on a minow in 24 fow using 4lbs test fire line and an "8" hole and also managed to land some really nice perch a couple over 14.5 inches in length.

Anyway hope this helps and good luck.

Regards Dusty

That walleye was landed by my freind on a perch jig/ 4 lb test/ no gaff!!
Our group did very well on perch,but we thru back loads of them,hoping for
more jumbos. I also lost a very large laker that I could not get his head in to the bottom of the hole. [4 lb test also]. .
Dusty has some great accommodations, full service kitchens,hot showers,
fish cleaning cabin. He is very knowedgeable about the lake and the whereabouts of the fish, [perch-whitties-lakers]. Plus he is one block from the lake!
A great guy and host to us crazy Americans!
I highly reccomend him!
