It’s going to take a string of cold, calm days before anglers can start walking out on the lakes in this area. Monday had some strong winds and much of the ice that had taken hold on many small lakes disappeared, and the bigger bodies of water have mostly reopened. As of Tuesday morning, ice on the...
There wasn’t enough ice anywhere to support foot travel as of Tuesday morning, and even though ice does form overnight on most lakes, it typically melts away during the day. Some of the ice in the bays and other areas on certain lakes has remained over the past week, but it seems to come and go....
