Any New Otter Creek or Fish Lake Conditions?

Spent the weekend at Fish Lake. Friday evening, the lake had good ice on the extreme north and south ends but nothing for the majority of the lake. Saturday, the wind blew like mad and the ice on the extreme south was almost gone save for some near the "cheese hole" in the south east corner of the lake. The wind stopped blowing Saturday night, though, and the lake was capped almost in its entirety Sunday morning. The ice on the majority of the lake was unsafe and only an inch or two thick and will take a few more cold nights to be safe for fishing. Though one group had used snow machines to access the "cheese hole" and were fishing that south east corner, most of the lake was unfishable as of Sunday afternoon. I am betting that by this weekend a good portion of the lake will be fishable. The problem up there right now, though, will be access to the lake. With all of the snow and drifts, parking will be exceptionally limited and getting to the hard water will be tough. Fishermen will have to tromp through some seriously deep stuff to get to the safe ice.
