Just wondering if anyone has been to Newell this past bit, thinking of heading there Friday/Saturday. Wondering more about the ice, I know a few resevoirs in the South here are getting to be iffy for ice after this warm snap. Thanks!
Right now there is a ton of water on the ice, and have driven past numerous open spots depending on where you are on the lake. I have an argo on tracks and broke through on one spot on purpose and playing around. There is about 16-20 inches across the lake. If your not sure walk, don't drive a truck on.
After checking the ice thickness in 4 separate locations (all about 20-21") at Newell we drove on yesterday (Jan. 28) with no problems and minimal water on the ice. Fishing was good.

#1 win the lottery (so I could fish everyday)
#2 & 3 still thinking.....
