Well, looks like I’ll be testing my limits this weekend in Hayward, WI. High on Saturday is 0 (low of -19) with West winds gusting to 20 mph. Temps don’t bother me, it’s the dang wind.
This is my first time fishing up there too so looks like my mobile hole-hopping strategy will be severely limited as well. Oh well, it’ll be an adventure!
My Limit typically is depending on snow. There are times we’ve been on the lake and a big snowstorm moved in. My big fear is being on a lake without ice roads where we would end up stranded in the snow. The cold temps don’t bother me as much, in the hard sided house or a portable. As long as you plan and prepare right for the conditions, you can sit out there regardless of temps.
Sorry Ben, but I can’t count your opinion here either. Isn’t Ely in Ontario and doesn’t it snow there in June? I’m guessing the average winter temps here are close to what you get in May. Good news for you, you’ve got a lot of nice mild days on the ice ahead of you.
Shucks, well I tried.
