Ice is forming

Hunted a decent size lake in West Central MN today. We could watch the ice form while we were hunting.

I’m thankful we didn’t have 2″ or so and then get the 16″ of snow, up at the cabin anyhow. It’ll start making it fast now!

Got on some ice on a few different lakes today in Utah hope everyone can get out soon!!

It sure is starting to make some ice. I just hope the weather stays cool enough to keep it going. Usually I would be fishing on top of the water by next weekend. Looks like a guy will have to wait another week or two..

Certain small ponds/lakes around the metro with good tree cover are fully locked and might have 2″ by the weekend if the rain/snow holds. Bring on the early pannies!

I was looking at a web cam at vermillion today and it looked like a skim was forming

I cannot wait for the upcoming ice. I have herd reports of ice forming on south metro lakes today and cannot wait to be back for the early ice!

Single digits for a few days would sure help. One can only hope.

The rain/snow today isn’t helping…

Straight up rain in Alexandria this morning. We are a giant skating rink right now.

Looks like Walleye Dan is itching for ice. Dragging this thing around has gotta be hell on gas mileage! LOL.

^^^^ horrible pic I know. Hard to take a pic at 75mph. It’s him hauling his sno-bear today.

Finally looks like we have some ice in the forecast! I’m guessing Red will be open to walking and atv traffic by December 15th. @Drifter I imagine he was bringing it in for a tune up, I couldn’t imagine he was trailering all the way to ice/north pole!?!!

I normally live in northern Minnesota. However I’m attending college in montana. Today there is 6 inches or so on hyalite resevoir, caught about 20 trout today, my fever has subsided. Ice fishing is here

I live in central north to south and east to west Michigan. Had 1 week of teens and single digit weather for a week now. All lakes besides deep lakes of 100+ water depth and great lakes are froze. 2-4″ of ice. I will be out Monday on foot with spud bar checking ice. Did just get 16″ of snow. Dang! And if it’s good a little 1st ice walleye fishin. Did see 2 guys on Saginaw river would not advise. Coast guard said 2-3″ of ice on a big river spells disaster.
