well one might think that it would be Alaska, strangly enough they do not Icefish in Alaska go figure, not even the natives partisapate in this sport. or so I am told by the numerous guides in the artic, I have yet to get a hold of the local game warden there to concferm that there is no season.
one would then think of Maine being the next state because of its latitude to be covered with ice next, oddly enough this is not the case eather, the sothern Atlantic winds comming up the eastern seaboard hold Maine back for a couple more weeks setting them behind,
a 4 way tie across the northern sections of North Dakota, Montanna, Minnasoda, and Wisconson.
this is where the jet streams hit first when bring down the cold artic winds and temps. following the state line of the sothern boarder of North Dekota eastward to thumb of Michigan they are already experiincing frost. Gardens for the most part are done whiile following the state line of the sothern border of South Dakota to Lake Erie our gardens are still productive.
with this imformation I would say that it is a toss of the coin between Montana or (my money is on) Minnasota for receiving the first artic winds bring freezing temps to our lakes for the great sport of icefishing.
here in south eastern michigan we have had years with no ice at all to having up to 5 feet of ice on the lakes on other years. as yet our weathermen can not predict the season that is about to hit us.
strong golf winds make its way up here and keeps much of the frozen temps about a 100 miles north of detoit.
