Any reports from the Temagami area on the ice conditions?
Yea I realize this is a bit early to ask about this but I'm planning a trip to Net Lake or Anima Nipissing in mid May and my outdoor itch is needing a really good scratch right now. Besides, May is only one month (a little more than 750 hours) away.

Tripper, I was just reminded about this web cam on Lake Nipissing that you might find useful. Ice on Temagami is intact, obviously, but lots of water on top of it.

Never too early to inquire about the upcoming summer, Dave.
How about water levels? I understand that this winter there were several late and heavy snowfalls. Do those make a significant difference to water levels on say the Lady E River? Do we have an expectation on what water levels will be like this summer, or do we need to wait to see how much it rains after break-up?} |

Thanks for the link Brian. The images are nice but rather disappointing at this point. But I'll be keeping a close eye on them as May gets nearer!
In the mean time I'll go back to the garage and sort through my gear ............ again.

Tripper Dave:
Don't worry, the ice will be gone by mid May. I plan to be out there on or about May 15. The ice goes out for sure by May 8th. Heard that from an old Native guy. You can still get snow though. Ask Kim! He was on Obabika last year in Mid May with his aqua trailer and Yak and he complained about the snow.
Have a good trip. |

The past year or two we've posted satellite images of breakup. Fortunately, we've had good enough weather to get them. Hopefully that will be true this year too. Keep a watch.  |

Yes it snowed.
Kept the bugs down.
Almost had to McGiver an ice breaker for the front of the aqua trailer to get out.
No such thing as bad weather just cheap equipment. |

Hi Ed, Dave and Kim. It's nice to see you guys here!
I am not sure if I'll be up there this year (maybe late September).
I am hoping to go to Nunavut in August for 2 weeks with a bunch of guys (Thlewiaza River to Hudson bay).
Cheers and dip your paddles gentlemen!

Well, Otter Mel that should be quite a trip.
How do you get there?
Fly to Churchill with a charter to the Neultin Lake? Or some other way?
Is you buddy Bob C. going or is he under close home arrest this summer?

I can just imagine the anticipation you're feeling about this trip Mel. The planning must have been a great way to pass the time over the winter.
Looking forward to reading a trip report and seeing some photos!
Dave
