Twin Lakes

[SkunkedAgain]

Does anyone have any news on ice conditions?

Thanks

Hey you're going to want to be really careful fishing Twin was up there yesterday before any new snow had fallen and it appeared that the ice sheet had shifted towards the south, so the edge was bad and it had opened several cracks between big chunks of ice and those cracks had refrozen with about 1/2 to 1" of ice on them so if you step on the crack you will go through and some of the cracks were a couple feet wide.  Taking a spud bar and spudding like your life depends on it will be essential with the new snow cover.. I think after you are 20 yards onto the ice you should be past the cracks, but just know there are several of those Bengal tiger traps waiting for you...  I would try entering the ice from the NW corner and I think there was only one crack there and it was pretty close to shore... Once out on the sheet there was 6-7" of ice, it's just the cracks that will be an issue for you... Good luck and take extra care... J
