The ice is gone on Off Lake(Clearwater/Pipestone Lake area).The larger lakes will be gone shortly. We are located an hour from Fort Frances and are justSouth of the Nestor Falls area. Ice out lakers real soon!

The ice is pretty much gone on LOTW's near nestor falls area too. Alot of the smaller local lakes are wide open too. Crow Lake will be a few more days longer but I am sure it will be open by the 1st of May if we keep getting wind and rain mixed with some warmer weather.

Just talked to my parents who are at the cabin in Morson. They said that the wind is breaking the ice up in the bay. I would assume that the lake is not travelable by boat yet but this wind should speed the process.

My guess is that the Manitou will open up May 5-10. We just got 8" of snow and it is still snowing. So that is not helping any at the moment. I will post updates as conditions change.

It will be close Matt, but I am planning on May 10 now for Pipetsone. I atlked with one of the pilots yesterday, and he said he saw a moose walking across the ice on Pipestone. If you make it, let us know.

Manitou is still pretty tight. A pilot flew over today and said it will be a while yet for the Manitou. The 13th will be touchy by the sounds of it. He will be flying almost daily and I can give an update when he sees some changes. Pipestone is partially out, but should be pretty much ice free by the weekend hopefully.

Got an e-mail from Rough Rock Lodge up on the Winnipeg River yesterday. They said that Big and Little Sand were still frozen and they had to crunch throuh a little ice to get to the resort, but everything else was open.

Similar,

From what we have seen from the air, it's a possibility that the big lake may still be froze. Of course, if we get some rain and wind things will change quickly.

The stretch has black ice on it and there is also some ice from the white jugs back to a cluster of islands in the middle of esox.

We are planning on going in on sunday and don't expect any problems.

1dirtball,

Pipestone will be out on saturday from what we have seen.

Superbee,

How's Pipestone looking, especially the west arm?

The boys up there were begging for us to come last week...saying the ice was out. I don't think so!!! Leech Lake(MN) still was iced up. I thnk they just were looking for card players, and were willing to play our whole waking hours!!

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
