I have not been able to get out and actually go fishing yet, but I did get a chance to go to a couple lakes and check ice out in from tof the boat landings. Boom Lake on friday had 4" and Moens had 4-5". The bottom half of that was good hard ice and the top was the snow that we had that sunk into the ice and formed a hard surface. Guys are going out but I would still use caution and know where you are going. If it is the first time out make sure you check as you go as many of these lakes have springs or some moving water. Be carefull and I hope everyone has a great ice season. I will be getting out this weekend yet and probably Monday night. I will let you know how it goes.
