Eagle has 7-8 inches so I’m sure it’ll be fine for foot. Seen a guy driving a car on Eagle today.
With all this warm weather the ice has stayed the same, in fact slowly grown. It’s starting to ‘talk’ now that there’s a few heaves.
I’d be amazed if there wasn’t anything less than 6 at CVR, and I’d guess 7-9. I would have went there today but thought it could be a gamble so wanted to check Eagle.

Fishing was good at Eagle so I stayed.
I had around 7 on, but only landed 2. Had one break my braid, yet it was on it’s 3rd season. Still they were fighting good.

I might get out there tomorrow too. Probably north end, dark grey Chevy, and might bring the quad.
