Stopped by Ririe after fishing the river today. It is iced over except in the bay below the house on the east side just south of juniper. It is still not iced over next to the rental docks either. Other than that it is iced over with seams of wet areas running around -including around the island. I chipped away at the ice at the end of dock and did not get through probably at least 3 inches - too lazy to get my auger out. It had been plowed but no one fishing yet. Its about koke time.

Sounds sketchy, but maybe after X-mas

Open water patches sunday all over lake. Test drilled holes went from 3 inches to 1 inch not far from dock. BE CAREFULL !

This weather is not helping the ice growth at all.

Thursday mostly open water after 20-30 feet from bank.
Seems its getting worst rather than better.

3/4 iced over Saturday afternoon. About 3 inches at the end of the dock. Some hardy soul has drilled 30 feet off the end of the dock. (Probably Bill Scheiss)
Lots of rocks on the ice - something to keep in mind later.
I just hope when it ices up that the fishing is better than last year.

Not me. Due to blood clots in both lungs and five weeks in bed, I have not fished thru the ice and it looks like the doctors are going to keep me grounded.[mad][mad][mad][mad][mad][mad][mad][mad][mad]
