Hot Pants arrives on the a fashion scene Pioneer days at school Recycling mat race Bantam lour OUTDOORS By GEORGE Ice Fishermen Can Be Trapped New Years Day was the earliest dale that and others were ever on Lake Slmcoe to try our luck for lake trout and white fish This was several years ago and the ice was about seven inches thick not safe to drive a car on but safe to walk on Our fish huts were about 1 of a mile The lake trout were there and also the white fish Our good catch proved this we knew that the report was sort of false about the lake being frozen all over The depth of the of this area was approximately SO feet Our white fish lines when letdown went on a little less than a degree angle towards the north From past experience this told us that there must be open water somewhere to cause the current that made our lines slant ICE PARTED This was proven later when Tom Crittenden came and told us that the Ice had parted ap proximately yards to the north and that they were going to shore to haul out a skiff to rescue he anglers on the other side Some of them were natives of Jackson Point They were all rescued and later on the hugh block of ice drifted back In with mild north breeze and froze together again Further on out where the open water was was also frozen HAS HAPPENED A few slater it was possible for anyone not knowing about this ice condition could travel over safe Inch Ice right smack on to Ice not any more than two or three Inches has happened before with tragic results A lot of people who travel on lakes and rivers with cars and snowmobiles know whet to look for and I presume others don t BUY AWAY Its belt to proceed with caution and obtain the best in formation possible regarding fee conditions Areas to shy away from are shallow areas between Islands any shallow areas where a current might be to cut the Ice flKFIt TON LAKE A few years ago some friends of mine at Aircraft went to their cottage at Skeleton Lake I prefer not to mention their names They loved to be on the lake to do some trout fishing They were on foot not driving although IB inches of ice was on the main part of the lake If I remember right they walked towards the fish hatchery area and right on top of ice too thin to hold up a man They were father and son and luck would have it they had been walking some distance apart The father went through and the son with the help of a small limb from a tree was able to save him Perhaps some information from a native could have prevented this near tragedy Some people Including me believe that an ounce of caution is worth a pound of cure So to bo safe rent a fish hut on Cook s Bay if the bug hits you early Even later on In the big lake area rent a hut it safer More about Lake Slmcoe and other lakes in later columns HAPPY NEW YFAR My
