arex Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 Hey everyone, just curious if anyone knows how the ice is doing out dunville area thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titanium77 Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 Take a look at grca website. There are flow charts for different areas in the watershed. Right now, there is a surge flowing through the central section. The ice in dunnville is in jeopardy. If it holds, expect dirty water over the weekend.

Tyler0420 Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 There was 8-10” a week ago. With the warm up the grand had a flood warning. I’d stay away from dunnville for now it’s going to be a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 Snowing in Hamilton now , going to get cold again , hoping the ice tightens up quickly . The murky runoff in some spots will soon clear up and hopefully the fish will be on the prowl for the goodies in the current flow . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centre_Pin_Assasin Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 Perhaps a first outing after this past warm up not be done with children in tow! I'd stay away for a few more days for it to harden back up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double_Dk Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 ice does seem unstable at this point. That was a warm prolonged stretch for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea ....A few days ago the ground in my yard was frozen solid & heaved up in many spots ....then down came the rains & washed it all away ....and out came the worms again ! Then , in flew the arctic air yesterday & brought us all the snow . While making some pathways for our short -assed dog I noticed the lawn is still soft & spongy . This is what a fast dump of snow does to the ice as well ....insulates ! So tread lightly people , there could be soft spots anywhere . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveC Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Not worth a gamble or anyone's word on ice conditions for a fish...be sure of the conditions through reliable sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would take a few days for things to settle down. I had seen the video and it was not pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lundtastic Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Lake Erie isn't safe either they helicoptered off 6 fishermen; Sturgeon yesterday. WOW. Gear? Goodbye. At least the ice was thick enough for the bird to land on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titanium77 Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 According to the flow charts there is a huge amount of water still to come. Brantford flow is dropping now. Last night it was flowing over 1000 cubic meters per second. Thats about 30 times normal flow! It's going to take a while for that to make it's way to dunnville because most of the river is locked shore to shore with thick ice. The next few days could be wild in the Cayuga to dunnville section of river. I would love to see drone footage of the ice jams and flooding that will happen.

Hope they have to pay for their rescue as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smelt_Fishy Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 There were 2 guys on Grand in Dunnville when I drove by on my way home from work. Middle of river... Can't speak to ice thickness. Still looks rough to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ermm I don't know too much about ice or it's conditions mate but it looked a bit 'watery' around 11 this morning, I'd be extra careful with the bin lids ??
