Anybody been to Otter creek in the last week? Hows the ice looking?

Drove around to the east side down by the dam on Saturday. Couldn't get on the rotten ice. There was some open water next to the dam on that side. There were some fishermen on the west side about mid lake. The wind was blowing so we did not stay. Not sure the ice condition where the fishermen were. We had just come from FL - left at noon because of the weather. It looked to me like OC has two to three weeks of questionable ice depending on the weather. Good luck.

As brookie said, there's some open water. The edges were real soft and melted where we checked it. Didn't see anyone out there (nor did we venture out). Might be ok if you can find a good spot to get on. I'm not very familiar with OC but brookie's assessment is probably close. It was very warm and sunny down there today (truck thermometer read 50), so not sure how those edges will hold up. Plank might work to get on, though. Be careful if you go down.

Note - the road to Fish Lake was closed (as of about noon today). I heard it should be open tomorrow afternoon.
