Randy,

I am not sure about breaking a record for early ice-out, but there is open water around my south facing shoreline and the ice is very dark. This morning I woke up to the honking of geese that, by mistake, landed on the ice about 200 feet from shore.

If predicted weather holds up (temps in the mid-70's, rain tonight and 15-20 mph wind from the south) I think we will see open water by the end of this week.

Tight Lines,
