Kind of late notice but I was wondering if anyone was interested in heading to Newton Friday mid-day. I'm planning to take off half day and fish through the afternoon. I saw some guys fishing it the beginning of the week so it should be safe (only on the top half). Give me a PM if you want to go.

I was up to newton yesterday(wed), and half the lake has open water. I couldn't reach anywhere that had ice more than an inch thick with my chisel (approx 6 feet from shore). There is still ice near the dam, but since I couldn't get across the poor ice by the shore, I couldn't tell how thick it was. No one else had been out that I could tell.

I appreciate the heads up Patrick_r. I'm assuming you checked at the dam or did you check the upper end?

I checked the thickness near the dam. Below the boat ramp.
