Hemlock lake ice?

[reeltrout]

Does anyone know if Hemlock or Canadice lake has ice? Would like to go jig for Lakers.

I fished Canadice last week and the ice was 4-5".  MY nephew fished the South end up into laker waters of Hemlock and had the same ice thickness as I did on Canadice,

Thanks. I might try it next week, sounds like faily cool weather in the coming weeks.

  Hemlock water level was drained way down for the winter. South end is a bit of a hike to even get over water. Both lakes have decent ice. Canadice shore ice is pretty thin in places.

Hemlock is down 10' from normal according to the graph I looked at yesterday.  The dry conditions and water usage in the Late summer and fall caused the draw down.

Wow that is way down. For hemlock we usally walked in from north end which is just a short walk

Tried for lakers but struck out, bounced around from 70 - 12 FOW walked at least 4 miles and drilled solid 8 everywhere.  Tough lake but buddy saved the day landing this rainbow
