Talked to my dad today. Told me Dipping Vat is still covered so I would assume Payne is as well.

Went for a drive today. Dipping Vat 100% ice free. Payne still pretty much covered. Open water just west of the boat launch. By the weekend a fair chunk should be wide open. Amazing what a few days (and lots of wind) will do.

I was looking at the forecast and trying to figure out where to fish this weekend. Has the wind blowing good in the south country? I know Payne comes off quick once the wind picks up, i also know its a fun lake at ice out. And has anyone drove by Police? I'm guessing its still locked up as Payne usually comes off first but it has been a goofy spring. Any ideas?

Any updates on the conditions of Payne or police.
