We were up there Saturday west of the marina by the campgrounds. As mentioned, lots of ice, but there were layers and I found about 6-8 inches of frozen slush on top but then a huge pocket of water between that and the frozen bottom layers. IF it continues to deteriorate and that top layer gives way, you could be in trouble on a wheeler. You could actually hear the top layer melting later in the day but it was 60* Saturday when we left, and it is a bit cooler now. We also popped through the very edge when walking back to shore, we parked the RZR on the bank and didn't dare venture onto the ice with it but it is a heavy machine. I would have taken my wheelers out on Saturday, but the warmer it stays, the more I would question the future of ice fishing up there. If you have more than one wheeler to pull out the lead person if they get stuck then I say go for it, if you're alone, tread carefully. Fishing was also slow on Saturday
