My guess: Ice off this w/end...... tues latest.....

Hi Jim, I imagine that lake is lower than Sheridan so could well be free of Ice. But to be sure suggest you contact someone in Barriere. You may want to try googling Barriere I just did and the Chamber I am sure could help .barrieredistrict.com/

Good Morning Rob, We are heading to our annual fishing trip to North Barriere lake this weekend. I really appreciate your work with the SLWCam!I was wondering if you or any of your folks had any info on NBL? Thanks for any info you may have.

Tried to put a shovel in the garden this afternoon. It went in 3 inches and hit solid ice !!!
Spring will come when it is ready and I doubt that we will see Ice out until the end of May sometime. Mind you we did get the first hummingbird back at the feeder today.

You do see a tad of water. Minus 4.5 this morning

i see water

We reached 14 or so degrees today so a bit of a melt is comning. I was by Lac de Roche today and that Ice is in from East to West as tight as a drum.

Yes Kiwi it is going to be the end of May this year. I was talking to Barry at South Cariboo Sports who lives on Horse Lake Road & he has never seen it this late. But think positive, no Mosquitoes, Bats or Weekend Warriors!!! For the fishermen, I think the first few weeks of June should be good. Mid-May is normally the best time after the lake turns.

Just back from town and the ice is about 200 feet from Skadies Bridge and Horse Lake is in solid.
Will not be blwin the cobwebs out of the snorkel for about a month yet roneeee
