The ice where we fished yesterday was about 10 to 12 inches. It is very clear, solid ice with a skiff of snow on the surface. Four wheelers and snowmobiles have been on the lake for several days. I do not know what the ice conditions are on the remainder of the lake, but I would assume with the recent cold temperatures, the ice thickness is probably fairly consistent.
Everyone should use caution when on the ice and avoid any areas that don't appear safe. I also recommend that fishermen should not venture onto the ice alone unless they are in an area with other fishermen. Self rescue is not always possible if someone goes through the ice. Everyone should carry ice picks with them that are accessible in the event of an accident.
