Nearly the whole lake is covered with skim ice on Christmas eve 2012. Some open water in the center. Now it is warming up so it will probably melt. That might be good since they say snow is coming. Maybe it will get good and cold after the snow and really lock things up.
Merry Christmas!

Crappie fishing been good,icefishing should be good as well.

More ice today (12-28-2012), have not check thickenss but it cannot be too good as the lake was open yesterday. Good thing the snow came when the lake was open or there would be lots of insulation on top. Hopefully the cold will continue and the crappies will be willing to bite.
Looks like I missed the first ice contest by guessing today.

Stood on the ice today (12-31-2012) but it is only about 2.5" thick with lots (maybe 1") of frozen slush on top. As a plus, the snow has been compacted so it should not slow down the building of further ice if the cold weather sticks around. Heard of guys on channels on south side of the lake. It appears there is some open water on the north side, near the center of the lake.
Got the Vexilar FL-20 on the charger hoping to get out on new years day. All rods are rigged and ready to go.
Happy new years to everyone. Be careful and stay on the dry side of the ice.

No getting on the ice today. It softened up where I stood yesterday. Forecast still looks good so maybe by the weekend things will be a little more solid.
