Just hope this snow doesn't kill any ice we have already.

this is copeland.......keep my number close at hand. I will check our local lake tomorrow. Water temp was still 36 degrees yesterday with nothing in the channels. A couple more nights of teen weather could drop it enough to set the freezing process in motion. The iceman will appear this year ;D

I talked to Dan earlier and he said a guy had gone through! Only a couple of feet deep, but still a rather cold foot soaking.

If you're thinking about coming up tomorrow, I'd strongly weigh my options. There is a dock tournament at Alum that will offer a safer alternative.

If you insist on hitting Indian, make sure you exercise extreme caution. Have a back up plan in just in case.

I will not be on Indian tomorrow.
