The lake is just about completely blown out. The channels and backwaters especially long island have about 2"-2.5" of ice, but getting on it is a trick.. had to go out on a fallen tree just to get onto less than 2", I spuded a couple spots and left.
Moundwood is completely open with some busted up pieces of skim drifting around. It'll be a while before we get back on that I bet. Long Island will be our best bet as far as I can see, and even that is going to have to firm up before I go out on it.
It's a shame...

I really don't think this snow is going to help much either. Cold temps are good..next 7 days are going to be chilly.

Hopefully by the end of the week. Thaniks for the reports.

We have had about 4 inches and still coming down as of 8 pm this will not help but should be good ice by weds

I'll try to keep posting on conditions, but I'm going to give it a couple days I think... we just got hammered with snow and I'm not crazy about walking on pocked ice that I can't see very well. We have cold weather forecasted so I'm gonna try to be patient.

thanks for keeping us posted ratherbe, dave and i were thinking thurs. its an hour drive so if u can keep us posted that would be a big help. an hour isnt bad when u can fish but stinks when your wet on the way home.
