Title: NE OH ICE Sunday
Post by: Big Daddy on December 30, 2012, 04:14:11 PM

Well, it's getting there. Went to a few lakes today and here's what I found...

NIMISILA: Lots of open water but C-5 (campground) cove is covered. Extremely poor ice. There are two layers about 1/2 inch each, separated by about an inch of slush. DANGEROUS!!!

PORTAGE LAKES: Old State Park was about half open water. Someone with a boat may have gone through and broke it up. Going to be awhile.

WINGFOOT: About 90% covered. Ice off the boat ramp dock was 2-2 1/2 inches but white. No slush layer. I did not walk out on it but I'm hoping by next weekend it will fish. The open water was out between the two islands.

MOGADORE: Checked East side of Congress Lake Rd. Ice off the dock was about 2 1/2 inches, white with a nice, clear 3/4 inch at the bottom. Again, maybe in a week, it might be fishable.

All I can say is to pray for coldnights and no snow...

The forecast for this week has the highs below freezing and the lows in the single digits. This will make good safe ice.

I was going to make that run today.  Thanks for the report, think I'll check Deer Creek and Walborn instead.

The one by Berlin.  My report and a pic is in the lakes section of the site.  It's under "Deer Creek-Canton area."  Looks like it'll be ready soon!!

Thanks for saving me the trip to Nimi. I've been laid ups sick for a few days wondering how the ice was doing.
