Title: Monday Morning, 2/15 Portage Lakes
Post by: icebucketjohn on February 14, 2016, 11:18:21 AM
I'm planning hitting Nimisila, Nesmeth or North early tomorrow morning. (OSP, Old State Park will be my last option)., Currently waiting on ice reports.  May take a drive this afternoon to check them out and drill some test holes., Will post my findings.

Friday's Snow really put the skids & diminished ice formation

Cold Weather... BRING IT!!

think i am going to hit Nimi,talked to a couple guys,at 4 different locations,stay close to shoreline,they all agreed a little sketchy,but there was holes drilled and shanties up! Pay attention to surface of ice,and the farther out they went,you will hit inch and a half of ice
