Was out on Tuesday and the ice was at least 8 inches. It was windy but nice in the tent. Good luck this weekend.

thickness confirms, was out on the weekend and it was about 7-8 inches in the deep section at 100 FOW. All hard clear ice.

I was out there last Friday. we fished in the middle of the lake by the boat launch and the Ice was 13" thick. The fish were biting up till about 11 am and then they died off.

I was out a spray today. The ice is nice and thick about 10" of nice clear ice and about 5" of rotton ice on top. Didn't get a single bite from 8am to 1pm using smelts and other lures that normaly work on Spray. Only saw about 5 fish on the flasher in that time. I was fishing about 200' from the dock in 64.2' of water.

The wind was horrific today on Spray. I managed to lose the cover for my sled and my popup tent was screwed up to. Managed to destroy 3 out of the 5 hubs on the tent. I'm thinking it is time to move away from the popup style tent.
