    i’d love to see first ice on November 30th. However I don’t think we’ll be on the clear stuff until the 2nd week of december. Just a feeling. and you just know we are going to get a good hard 1.5 or 2 and all of a sudden its going to snow like hell and we’re screwed again

    I don’t care so much how soon it gets here..just pray that it is long lived and safe. Last year was terrible.sucks when the fish go deep in jan-feb and the only places you can go are shallow if you are even lucky enough to find ice

    sorry guys, wishing I could be more optimistic. I am a believer in global warming

    How about Dec 10th. I think it will be earlier than last year for the metro area.

    I am guessing I’ll be on hard water by Dec. 7th. That is if I can pull myself away from the river walleye action on pool 4.

    it’s pretty tough to get excited about ice fishing when the river is still open.

    Dec 16th. (Sorry, just trying to be honest) Wouldn’t mind a little closer to halloween though.
