Made a trip down to Fishlake this morning. We found 4 inches of clear slick ice out from the south marina. It was a bit "puckery" going out, but we drilled holes on the way and continued to find 4 inches of ice out to beyond the weed bed (didn't go farther than that). We were in 34' of water and fishing was steady for splake, rainbow and perch. The weather was beautiful, sunny and without wind. It did get a little warm and by the time we left at 12:30 - the surface of the ice was getting pretty wet. Hopefully it will get colder during the night and the wind will stay away so the ice can increase. There was one other group that joined us. We also saw a group on the far south opaque ice. After fishing we took a drive to look at the ice farther north. Up near Twin Creeks, the ice looked pretty sketchy and there was open water up near Joe's Bush. There was another group on some opaque ice north of Joe's Bush.
The first two photos are looking north from our fishing location and looking back to the south marina. In the third photo, I know the ice doesn't look 4 inches but it really is - I measured it. The last photo shows ducks on open water out from Joe's Bush. Enjoy.
