Any ice reports?

[outdoor ran]

Anyone get out this weekend and check the ice thickness in Wi. and fish at all. I was going to bow hunt and squirrel hunt till after xmas then hit the ice. Change of plans, to cold for hunting for me Got all the ice gear together and hope to get out this weekend.

I fished in MN this weekend and there was 4-5 inches of ice on fish and island lake. A guy I know went and checked the ice in the bay off park point and reported there was 2-3 inches. I'm guessing most smaller lakes should be fishable by now in WI as well.

In central wisconsin, most small lakes w/o current or springs have walkable and fishable ice. Lake Poygan and up to Bago is all covered but not ready yet. Would assume paige's slough is good to go, as that's usually the first place I can fish in that area. GL and Stay Safe.

I got out on the Eau Clair Chain, 3.5" for about 50 yds then got a little sketchy. Red Cedar just iced over complete last night. I have seen people out on Rice, Chetac and Hemlock the past couple of days.

Arne, have you been to Wappo or Bear Trap? If so, what does the ice look like?

[ARNE]

R_B no I haven’t but I might stop by there tonight just to check it out i will let you know .

[R_B]

That would be great. Thinking bout going there saturday.

I was just north of there on an area lake and there was 4-5 inches. Careful on east sides of the lakes. That wind we had the last few day's could have kept it off most lakes. The lake that I live on was iced up for the last week, but the east side just froze 2 day's ago...SB

Poygan is mostly 4-5" 2"in those small goofy spots......

No fish!

I punched a couple of holes in the solon and gordon area and found 4" to 6" of ice near shore. Didn't do much catchin though. Becareful on the ice guys, with these warm temps.

I was out today on some smaller lakes south of Iron River. Anywhere from 2-6 inches. Spud bar was wacking all day. Definately some spots a guy on foot would go through out there. I avoided them and traveled ultra light.
