Was there any evidence to suggest if anyone had flown into Florence this winter and landed on the ice to do some ice fishing? We met a couple of great guys up on Diamond last summer, who had flown in for a day of fishing from North Bay. They told us that they sometimes fly into Florence in the winter to partake in a little ice fishing......must be nice!!!!!! |

Tripper Dave:
Looks like May 15th will be about right, a month to melt and a few weeks to let all the icebergs disappear.
But..... it doesn't look like we need to rush our preparations just yet. Best we go back to our garages and keep fixing up our equipment.

More photos from March 31. Tsm no sign of ice fishing on the lake. I haven't been on Florence in a canoe since the late 70's at that time I was told the lake was dead from acid rain, was that true and if it was has it now recovered? This photo is of the west branch of the Lady Ev River just down stream from Duff Lake. |

Thanks for posting more pics, they're great!
I was told the lake was basically dead too, due to acidification from the smelter in Subbury and the NE USA, but when we were there in '99, there were loons on the lake, and minnows at the beach near the cabin. I posted a question regarding this back in the old forum, and Hap replied saying that the lake was in trouble, but was making a comeback. I asked these guys on Diamond about this, and they echoed Haps comments, and that they indeed were catching fish.
I wonder if the ministry ever limed the lake....they certainly have limed the Auroura trout lakes east of Sunnywater. |
