A couple of holes were drilled in the ice this morning. First 2 inches was solid ice, below that the water has saturated the ice filling the hole with water. We’d highly recommend staying off the ice, as it is now unsafe, and have cancelled all of our ice fishing bookings.
Extremely warm, and windy weather conditions will continue the rapid thawing of the lake, with rain foretasted Saturday and Sunday will really add to it’s deterioration. Water continues flowing down the falls into Leighton Lake. Spring is rapidly approaching!
Tunkwa will be having an extremely early, probably record early, ice off this year!!
