    This is a current “main lake” ice report from veteran resorter Eddy Lyback. He reports today, the 11th–

    “Just got in from checking the ice out on the main lake. 2-3 inches was all I found with about 4 to 5 inches of snow on it. The water just below the ice isn’t cold enough to freeze and the snow on top of it is insulating the cold from getting to it. We need cold weather, and no more snow. The ice won’t change much until then. I’ve heard reports of 5-7 inches in the bays, even with that there were reports of rescues yesterday. It’s just not enough ice out there to take chances on, especially outside of the bays, and with the snow cover you will not know where the changes of thickness of the ice is. So for now……we wait…. Eddy Lyback.”

    I will gingerly walk out tomorrow and “tap” a hole in the ice to see how thin it is…
