Rented a cottage and wanted to try some ice fishing walking distance from our dock where we had some good fishing in the summer. Caught some decent Pike and a Walleye. A.) What's the times that's legal to fish on Muskoka B.) What's ice conditions currently C.) If season is open what should I target? Tips etc

I had posted under a similar name in the past ....as well as sent personal messages but not in the last 8 months or so. Anyhow....that was the answer I was looking for! Thanks again Canuckbass!!! I will post more in the future.

Sled was working and I have long track wide track. This cold should help but monday looks bad. Warmer and more snow. Lots of snow on lakes now.

Ice is pretty variable still but probably about 10" most non current areas. If your not familiar with where to go look for huts. GL MIKE
