Ice Thickness After All This Cold Weather

I am wondering what everyone is finding for ice thickness outside the metro after all the cold weather.

There’s enough to where I don’t bother measuring anymore. I bet you’d have have to look hard to find anything less than 24″. The large lakes are all 30″ +.

Agree, bring your extensions especially if you fishing from a wheel house.

Pretty thick. I quit measuring after I started seeing 18 plus. Most places I’d guess 24 to 30 inches

Talked with a few guys fishing NorthLong in BLA, it was 30″ and plus. I have found 26″ of ice, I haven’t been out for a while but I will be out this weekend with an extension.

On Gull last night, had about 10” of flight left on my SM40V

Last weekend in the Pelican Rapids are we had about 5″ left on a strike lite on a clam plate. My guess is since we have added another few inches. Be a struggle without a extension soon in that area

34-37″ currently on Red across a few mile area that I have punched holes at. You can still get thru with an 8″ lite flite and a drill.

18″ in faribault

Just got back from a run over to LOW. 36-38 inches up by garden island. Didn’t measure when we fished Rainy last weekend but just from how it looked drilling I’d say a little more than that here. I’ll measure tomorrow.
