2014 Ice Out Contest

[Ty Sennett]

Might as well go for it again. Makes the ice melt faster I think. So, here's the rules;

1. Pick one date and put your first and last name(your real name) followed by the date you think the ice will be off the lake.
2. Ice off will be considered when there is open water from Siskos resort over to Eagle Island on the west side of the Chippewa Flowage

Easy enough? I'll throw in a couple of the new crankbait prototypes to the winner. As of right now there is about thirty inches of ice out there. Good luck. For the record I'm guessing April 10th but my guess doesn't count.

There was one guess that didn't count because I don't know the name. It was Udee2159"s post for the 10th of April

May favorite guess was Robert Boston's August 6th guess. Actually you guys are going to be surprised how early the ice goes out this year. My April 10th guess was very conservative. I really think it will go out earlier than that. We have a couple cold nights coming up that will slow things down but you have to remember there isn't any ice in the back bays so when the water level comes up in the next couple weeks there are going to be a lot of wide open back bays warming up quick. Dorazio, Crane lakes Bays, Moss Creek, Sibley Bay, all the back bays of Chief, Scott lakes bays, etc., could be wide open in two weeks. Only time will tell.

At over six feet down, some of those bays have to be dry as a bone. So Ty has a good point there. If the snow melt is rapid, the ice sheet will start moving around, and a big wind event could break it up quickly. So...April 5th is my date please.

DMG1, need a name for your date
