I just returned today from my Las Vegas convention and promptly went out and looked over the lake. Its in the shape I would expect after a week of warm weather. It looks to be about 7 to 8 inches as an average with the edges in pretty bad shape. The 10 day forecast will freeze the edges back up nicely but it will take a minimum of 3-4 days of good cold. I found a few areas that I could get back onto the lake. To be honest with you, I wont try to get back out (far out) until mid to later next week. I have been ice fishing this lake for over 35 years and would suggest caution until that week of cold has had its time to heal the edges and some of the mid lake spots.

To those brave enough to go out, do not go alone, have your claws upon your person, and have a rope WITH you, just in case...

I agree with you fshman. I will wait until at least mid week before venturing back out unless it's on Erie. be safe.
