    The is an excerpt from an email I sent to PLC’s May guests earlier today

    “… Despite the conditions outside, I remain very optimistic that we will be all systems go by the time you arrive. We’ve seen the ice go out on inland lakes no later than May 10th in the latest year (2008ish), followed soon by Nipigon. Having said that, I will keep you updated regularly on ice conditions so that we can adjust accordingly if need be.”

    One thing I can say for sure is that ice conditions, although thick, it’s more gray, honeycombed ice than anything. Once the snow melts, things should start to go quickly.

    I’ll keep everyone posted on conditions on our latitude.

    Thanks Chad. Please keep us posted. I am starting to get concerned about our trip to Nipegon for the end of May.

    From my experience you will have no trouble fishing Nipigon the end of May also if you are targeting large pikey’s they will be shallow and very catchable. The biggest fish in the lake will be available shallow…

    Nipigon is breaking up, but too much ice yet to access the lake . Inland lakes around us are ice free as of Saturday night… walleye bite is hot in the rivers.

    Inland lake specs are very good too, will post pics as they come in.
