Hard Water?

[pcguide27]

Hey all.

Anyone have reports of ice conditions in Amery area?? Getting the ice fishing itch.

Thanks in advance!

I saw on other forums anywhere from 2.5 to 3.5 inches of ice in shallow bays. A few people tried tip-ups with no success.

Deer and Bone were still open as of Friday morning. Blake and Big Round were iced over but the ice is thin. I have a place on Big Round and there wasn't anybody that I see who were brave enough to test the ice today. Given the warm temps on Sunday and Monday, I think it will be a few days before it is safe enough.

Balsam is producing hard water fish right now...tip-ups. Heard guy caught a 31 1/2" lst night

Just drove out to cedar, talked with 2 guys coming off the bay on the sw corner. 6 inches of ice in 6-10 feet of water...2 inches going out to the main lake before careful guys. they did get a 28 and 30 in northerns today on tip ups.

Saw two guys on the north end of Bass this afternoon. Looked like a strip of open water had just froze since the snow the other day. Be careful after the friday night snow. Might get kind of iffy out there.
