On the east end has clear hard ice. There's 1 inch out there but it's sturdy ice, I could walk out but had to keep moving... after 10 seconds the spider cracks would appear. I say by early next week it'll be ready to be fished on, with no temps. over 32 forcasted for the next 2 weeks and average nightly lows in the single digits and teens and day time highs in the mid to upper 20's. I'm guessing by monday we'll have 2 to 3 inches... maybe even more. We gotta get those BIG pressure cracks out there... The little ones near shore today are producing ice as we speak. The only question is early ice pike, or the perch and walleye combo??? or the slabs and 'gils to many options.
I haven't checked the west-side of the lake yet, out toward the sands, but last Friday that froze over and the eastside didn't so I'm guessing that'l be just as good. Last Friday Lake Mitchell was just about completely froze over.
