Hayward Area Ice Travel

Hey guys-

I just spent a great few days on Leech, and am wanting to spend a few days in northern WI before heading back to my ice-less home (central IL). Travel on leech was a breeze… I was wondering what the ice/snow/slush conditions are in & around Hayward? Is ice travel possible on a 4×4 atv with chains?

Thanks in advance!

If they are like others in the wi nortwoods there should be around 8”. Good for ATV. You can scout from shore and see what other anglers are doing and how they’re getting around.

7 ish around Spooner but this snow created slush on the lake I fished. Could be a problem for ATV.

Well shoot, that’s not what I was hoping to hear. How bad’s the slush?… I’m here for 3 nights now regardless

Spotty. I walked out no prob. Got wet around our holes but not deep. There was one bad area where my buddy ran his quad. Some areas none. Not that much snow so it was an odd change from last weekend. Small lake. I have no Intel from any other lakes so it may not be an issue for you.

Thanks man, I really appreciate the info. Hopefully I can find a slush-free walleye or two
