Believe it or not, there is a chance that the lakes will still have ice on them by May long. We have had an incredibly slow melt this year in Saskatchewan. A lot can happen in just a week, but you may want to bring an ice auger with you :-)

Reports right now for many lakes in the central region fishing zone are that they are completely locked up with not even any open water near the shore.

Locals that live up in these areas are also saying that when it is this slow, the ice will not come off the lake until the beginning of June.
