I took a drive yesterday to have a look at Fanshawe Lake to see wether the lake was freezing up or not,even though our winter has been quite mild so far this year.There is a sheet of ice on some spots of the lake,but also a lot of open dangerous looking spot’s as well!! On my walk out from Fanshawe Lake Conservation Park,I talked to a UTRCA Conservation officer who happened to be there & that I knew. I couldn’t believe what he was telling me is,that he saw some “brave” angler’s that he called them,out on the ice this past weekend!! After all,fanshawe lake is a reservoir with the North branch of the thames river flowing into it,& the lake level can fluctuate at any time.I have ice fished on Fanshawe Lake in the past year’s,but only when the ice was “safe” to be on!! I just thought that I would share this information,to whoever is thinking of ice fishing Fanshawe Lake soon,and you should wait!! Be Safe!! & maybe Tight Lines on fanshawe lake this winter,if there is safe ice!! Some photo’s from yesterday.
