Rosseau Conditions, Looking for Ice Report

[mykola]

Looking for conditions out in the main lake Rosseau by the Marriot where it usually freezes last. Sleds running that part of the lake yet? (I’ll be on foot) I hear joe froze over main lake last Sunday and then got 3’ snow…. So a big slushy mess like usual eh? Couple weeks should straighten some of that out before Family Day. No shortage of cold.

A friend sent me this from Rosseau today. No idea what the circumstances are, or where exactly it was, but it’s something. Doesn’t look too far from shore wondering if there’s a dock bubbler involved, those lakes are full of them.

Hey is there any places to park your vehicle and walk out around the Marriott Hotel area?

Thanks

looks far enough out that bubblers wouldn't effect it. I have accessed that lake past them and they don't seem to thin the ice that far. Wouldn't want to walk to close to them but that looks like it was farther out.

Definitely other places in the lake to go just not that main basin area.

Yes I spoke Jason yesterday he said it’s barely safe to walk and no huts out yet for them.

I See that sled pic. What a bad day.

We went out on Feb 6th to Rosseau. After reading the reports and speaking to Bill at the bait shop, we decided to walk out instead of taking the snowmobile. The ice was 6 inches thick, with 3 inches of good black ice and 3 inches of white ice. The walking was not bad, since there was not too much snow on the lake. I expected to see more snow on the lake and was surpised there was not much ice since it has been so cold.

We caught a few lakers after 5 hours of fishing, packed up and went home. I am glad we spoke with Bill and bought bait from him to confirm we should not take the sled on the ice. We saw a few sleds on the ice, however they were moving from land to land, meaning they did not stop on the lake. I am not sure what the ice will be like now since it has been cold, but there is even more snow now than there was when we were at the lake.

When in doubt, walk.

Just wait until the next round of snow coming tonight. Sounds to me like a walk on.
