Took a little drive up to Porcupine this morning to check the ice conditions. From the shore to about 20 feet out, there is only about 3/4" of ice, and from there to as far as I could throw a softball sized rock, it is only 1 1/2". Stay away for at least a few more days unless you like swimming in 32 degree water! There is a large open patch of water in the middle of the reservoir, the upper end still has a cap on it, but it is very thin as well. The temp was only 20 at 9:00AM, so a few more days of this cold weather and the ice should be fishable again.
