Gull Lake ....... 11"-12" of clear ice (Aspen beach and Brownlows area). Fishing was average to good.
I was surprised to see only 20 or so group throughout the entire south end.
We were also surprised to see a few trucks driving around the lake - it was definitely noisy as they passed us along what will soon become Brownlows drive. At the end of the day a guy was pulling a big trailer/shack out with his truck .....
There was one particular Dodge Ram driver who decided it was safe to drive 50km/hr on 11"-12" of ice. We could feel the "wave" 40 yards away as he passed and the water pumped up the holes as he passed.
We were less brave ...... we used a tracked side by side - had to make 2 trips for gear - but whatever ...... no point in risking our lives ....... I would suggest to all people that this just isn't enough ice yet. Maybe another week of cold weather.
