View all photosI don't usually have to drill through four inches of ice in December. It's going to be a good old fashion winter, I think.
I'll have to use an auger to get through to the water in the new year.
It's a good old fashion winter.
I've never seen the water this low in the fall for so long. I'm not sure if it's in preparation for spring flooding by keeping it low for the winter or for working on the Carillon Damb below the reservoir.
It will be storming and raining tomorrow , but it's been a major heat wave for the past few days.
It's busy on the river today. Beautiful canada day weekend.
Beautiful days this spring. I'm a little worried about a drought. The water level never changed in the reservoir above the damb
My auger blade needs to be sharpened so I wait for a fisherman to be finished with his ice hole after using a gas powered one. 😁
It's quite a late freeze. Personally, I wouldn't trust the ice till mid february, if that.
The water still low in the reservoir above the dam. No docks out yet.
Hopefully the next test will be off the end of the dock. 😄
