Ice out in your area lakes?

[Finlander]

Well with this warmer than usual weather we have, it would seem the ice to go out pretty soon.
Whats your guess for the lakes you fish?

[Deitz Dittrich]

They were still driving on the lakes in the Chisago Lakes area earlier in the week...I don't think that ice will be off here anytime soon unless it rains REALLY WARM RAIN!!!!!

Lots of open water here in SW Minnesota. The lake by my house is about 1/2 open. Some lakes are totally ice free.

[DUCKJ]

We in the Brainerd area still have a couple ft of ice on most area lakes. With the warm weather and rain it could go pretty quick but im guessing that it will not go out for a good month yet.

Saw a truck out on Mazaska near Faribault last week.....

Fished for about 15 min. on a completely open lake/pond here in the cities. Don't know why it is open already, the lake 30 yards away from it is still frozen. Didn't catch anything, but there must have been thousands of dead carp on teh shorelines.

Lunker: What lake is open? I want to wet a line and check out the boat.

[Cyberfish]

Lunker, sounds like it froze out! If the carp died, I wouldn't hold out too much hope for the gamefish

Lake Ripley in Litchfield is completly open.
Its a 550 acre lake with good sunnies and crappies.

Just got home from New Ulm a few hours ago. Came straight north on Hwy. 15 and everything that I could see from the road south of Hutchinson was open. Pigeon lake just south of Dassel had some flow ice on the NW end. From there to Kimball things started to be alittle more closed up. By the time I got home in Cambridge they were still covered but looking pretty black.

Everything around Mankato is opening up or already ice free. Madison, German, and West Jeff are wide open.

Cannon, Wells, Sakata are pretty much open. Saw a boat launched on Wells! Tetonka looks like it'll be open in a few days, especially with the wind and some rain.

Also saw a ton of dead carp and crappies in Morristown below the dam.

I think the ice on crooked lake in Anoka will be out by friday, it is looking really black out there.
