Wabamun ice is degrading fast with the heat and wind. Already staring to move around a bit. If the forecast is right I would think it would be gone by the mid next week ... that's my guess LOL
Couple of pics from yesterday.

I've heard the same, I don't have high hopes for this year though the fishing can be good off the kayak. I do use the reservoir to estimate ice out at other southern waterbodies though. Starting to see lots of open water.

Crawling Valley was 2/3 ice on Tuesday but less than 1/3 Wednesday afternoon so I'm sure it's open now. I can't imagine McGregor is any different.

I was out for a drive yesterday and although I didn’t fish, I was walking the dog around for about an hour. The lake was calm and bugs were out, didn’t see a single fish rise. There was claim that it was stocked with 40,000 rainbows. I think the stocking trucks took a wrong turn somewhere and went to Chain Lake instead. About 20 people fishing, no fish caught by anyone I talked with. It should be stocked again soon I would think.

Drove past half moon north of Bon Accord today and looks like ice is gone. Campsite gate was closed so i could not get to the water but a cabin owner told me there are lots of perch floating.

By Sunday evening the west end was mostly open.
East 2/3 of the lake still pretty white and probably 2 - 3 days behind but you should be good to go by next weekend.
