    I’ll take the 13th of April since I was too slow to grab my first choice April 17th. Just so it is off by opener.

    Man I just don’t know………I’m out fishing a few days and I miss this post. I guess I will just keep everyone up-to-date on the ice condition! I would have picked April 18th…….as I think we are going to have an early ice out.

    Well it’s March 21st and the lake is still in great shape….My new guess is May 2nd!!!!

    I hope I’m wrong, and the ice doesn’t come off till the day before opener. Just so as to keep those damn gill nets out of the lake!!

    I have not been on the ice in over a week now, but I have heard from some guys that have been out on the ice that it is going quick. One guy said that it is only around 24 inches thick and that it is all honeycombed!

    I think that anyone that has picked the week of April 18th on should be setting pretty good. The ice is up tight to the rocks on my shoreline but my boat harbor is almost open! I think that I’ll beable to get the boat on the lift next week!!!!!!!!!

    I’ll keep you all posted

    There were groups of people scattered in Wahkon Bay on Sat. Saw two trucks and lots of ATV traffic.
