Ice Fishing Long Point Bay 2022 Family Day Weekend
Who’s excited for an extra long winter season?! We are so grateful that Mother Nature is delivering us Canadians a true Canadian winter!
Our ice huts are sitting on 12”.
There are some slush spots out there but not many.
A video to show what the snow is like on the ice.
Quads are not advised.
We will be open for ice fishing hut rentals and retail sales R&R Outdoors starting Thursday, January 20th at which time we will be open at 7am, 7 days a week.
Reserve a hut online at www.jimmyriggin.com
Update
Ice melted/blew out as suspected it would last night. There is currently 200ft of ice then open water. The double digit lows the next few days will ice it over how much by the weekend depends on how low and long the temps go.
We will be more clear on if we will be running this weekend on Tuesday.
How we predict ice thickness,
(temps weather man predicts x 0) + actual ice thickness = ice thickness
No real forecasting, we depend on the actual ice thickness, which is ultimately up to Mother Nature.
We watch the ice daily to see where the new ice is and how it’s forming. It’s looking positive for an ice fishing season. Stay tuned for official start date.

Working at the crack of Dawn. #goodmorningsunshine☀️ #enjoythelittlethings #sunriseonthebay #beautyday #icefishing #lingpointbay @jimmyrigginfishingcharters @rroutdoorslongpoint
Something to dance about! We’re through the January thaw and we have kept ice. Our huts have remained on the ice and with the long range we anticipate to be on the hard water into March. Fish on!
***Note our experienced guides are on the ice daily. They are familiar with the ice conditions and will ensure a safe and fun adventure on the Bay should you decide to rent a hut. If you plan to venture out on your own in the next week or so know the Bay will be healing (freezing open areas) please exercise caution and educate yourself on ice safety. Ice thickness will vary in areas.
