[Zip-in-Z]

Saturday December 09th, Scott and went out on the lake from the Marina/Lighthouse area to survey the ice thickness. Cleats were a must, there was open water in the Marina entrance we ventured out 200 yds and to our surprise Stanley verified it was 14.5” of clear ice over 7 fow. As a comparison, last year on Dec 12th it was approx 8.5-9" over 5 fow. We drilled a few more holes both shallower & deeper, it was consistent all about 14 – 14.5”, we decided NO need to go to RR23 & headed off to Gull for a look.

Congrats to member “Latenite” who gets the 2017/18 - Sylvan Ice Thickness Best Guess Award.

For all those headed out on Monday, stay safe ice conditions can be unpredictable on this lake.

Some pics from today….

Cheers

David
