    I checked a lake in Chanhassen on Sunday and it was around 3″ I Also saw some people out on a couple lakes in Lakeville/Burnsville area. Getting there, this morning will help out.

    I’m in the St cloud area and went out 2 days ago. Barely over 3 inches. Be careful.

    Keep in touch with In Towne Marina. They are good about updating ice conditions on Waconia. I was on Waconia on Friday and there was about 4-4.5 inches. My wife and I were both in my portable with all of my gear and we were fine. I am a bigger guy (6’7 about 290) and I felt safe. With that said i can’t provide a very good fishing report. We had the camera down for 2.5 hours and saw 3 fish.

    I would assume Parley and Whale tail would have similar ice. Nothing great yet, but getting there. Granted getting there very slowly, but we are getting there.

    Less than 4″ on the lake we were on today, Wheelers and sleds were out there, in slushy areas less than 3″. I was 8 miles from St. Cloud. Not everyone checks or is sober enough to care.

    I was on a lake in Chanhassen on NYE, and had 4 inches. Not a lot of action though.

    Went to another lake in Eden Prairie yesterday, but that ice was really sketchy. Spud bar went right through in a lot of areas and I couldn’t make it out far. I had to turn around and go home. Only had a couple hours to fish, so I couldn’t really go find another lake.

    Brainerd area had anything from 4-9inches on the smaller lakes. I wouldn’t touch the big lakes like Gull or pelican until after this deep freeze
