Starting the discussion on Eastern Ontario maple updates. The 14 day forecast is quite cold so no urgency to tap quite yet... but I do know of a few local producers who've started to tap already.

We'll likely start tapping the Family Day long weekend and get at it hard the Feb 22-23 weekend. We have about 12" of light fluffy snow in the woods right now, with no crust in the snowpack and no ice on the bottom.

At least the cold weather means lots of ice on the lake for the hard water anglers!
