I stopped by Willard on the way home from work yesterday to see what was going on... I was surprised, it looked like the lake was open water, but it actually is capped... However, the ice is not very thick and rotten as all get out... Edge margins were open water, so I did the unpardonable and threw one rock on the ice... It didn't got through and it wasn't in a fishing area. So I walked out the docks and then tried to put weight on the ice, it didn't hold much at all. There is probably 1.5-2.5" at most and it's grey and soft. If it turned really cold, it could recover, but I expect with the weather report it won't do that.. Kind of the worst of all conditions, too thick to take a boat and break it, but too thin to get on it... Guess the fish will get a break... BTW this is the north marina report... Keeping my fingers crossed, but not expecting much... Later Jeff
When things get stressful think I'll go fish'en and worry about it tomorrow!
