One word "Slush". I saw a couple sleds crossing the lake today, but the slush is calf deep. Bring a small hand shovel, you're going to have to chip away the ice on the undercarriage of the sled. Ice will freeze on the bottom of the snowmobile don't worry, just chip it out.

Where? Renegad has been popular. Watchout for pressure ridges and open water. The problem is there are snow drifts all over the lake, so the obstackles are covered.

Yuck.. and more yuck! I hate that dang slush. I was hoping it's been cold enough up there to freeze it, but it doesn't sound like it hasn't at all! [unsure]

How was the fishing tomegun?

Well, my truck got stuck in the middle of the parking to start off. It took 10 mins and a shovel to get myself free. I spent another half hour debating about fishing. Conditions sucked before hitting the water(slush), blowing snow made visibility cruddy.

I went in between the store and the Lodge down the hill. There was a path heading towards the point with half-dozen guys freezing their butts off. I went down and took a right trudging along in calf deep of bog. I found a harden area about 50 yards north of the pumphouse. I proceed to make myself an island before drilling my only hole. In four and half hours, I put 6 on the deck, came unbuttoned 3 others times, stripped another 3 times, and jeffed more than I can count. Thank goodness for sonar! Yeah!

I got to kickback and read four chapters, plus eat my lunch in peace and W... Once the Artifical Sun was up, it was all good. I was comfortable and ready to relax. It was 25* when I arrived about 8:45. And, 30* when I was leaving a little after 3pm. It ain't cold enough to solidify the slush.

Doesn't sound fun at all! []
Sounds like they aren't plowing then either?
