Canadian Fly In Fishing and Ice Out in NW Ontario

Off Lake April 22, 2026

The current ice out conditions are well underway now. Th snow is all melted and the ice is starting to deteriorate more each day now. Yesterday was a great day for getting us closer to open water and the forecast is looking great from here on out. Off Lake is typically the first lake in the area to be ice free and the other lakes are typically a couple day to a week after. We are still on schedule for a a close to normal ice out. If you have not booked your Canadian fly in fishing vacation yet, we still have lots of good dates available to choose from. Those of you who are booked, please get us your groups preorders along with your anticipated final group size. We are looking forward to another great season and seeing all our fantastic customers again!
