I just talked to the official weather station up in Malmo (my dad) and unfortunately after two days of lows reaching single digits last night bottomed out at 20 degrees
He also reported that Isle, Wahkon, and Cove Bays are mostly frozen over and looked like they hopefully will stay locked up for the year this time. As Tom mentioned in another post there were 2″ inches of good ice close to shore in Cover Bay.
Rumor also has it that there is fishable ice on small lakes in the Aitkin area but as of yet I still don’t have any friends with a day off to go find it. I’ll be down here at the ice fishing show, but expect my friends here on IDO and back home will be out somewhere so we may be hearing some reports by this weekend.
If anyone does make it out this week/weekend stay safe and good luck!
