    Even tho I live here I dont fish here besides Lake Sumbro in the winter ,but for Fosters ice conditions I would call HOF @ 282-8294. I am sure he can tell about Fosters ice

    People are on the ice there, but all I’ve heard is the shakey ice thicknesses. From what I’ve heard you can be on good ice in one step and be on altoegther more dangerous ice in the next. I’d give it another week for that ice to stabilize some.

    Went out on zumbro thurs, chester fri & sat, and foster sun. Found mixed success with a lot of little fish in the mix. Found pretty decent ice through all there were wheelers and snomobiles on zum. We fished a spot rite next to the channel and had 10″, but found spots of 8″… Chester had between 6″ and 8″ and foster 6″ to 10″. Lots of big airbubbles in the ice. But was solid. We were on foot everywhere. Remember to still be safe.

    My son Nate was out on Foster Arends Christmas Eve Morning and the ice was 10” thick. Crappies, gils, and trout were biting. As always be carefull when out on the ice.
    Thanksa, Bill
