I am off of work today and decided to go check several lakes. I checked Mantua this morning so please look for that post. I am currently leaving strawberry and here is the report for the ice up here.
I drilled two holes in the bay straight out from the boat ramp by the marina 2 inches of ice and 2 1/2 inches of ice. And the wind was really really whipping up there. I drove around to the soldier Creek side, about the same over there drilled three holes at 2 1/2 inches and did not dare walk out any further.
I spoke with the people at the lodge and they said that, yes someone did fall through yesterday, but that person was okay and they recommended that people wait until this weekend or later to start truly ice fishing up there.
If you go to strawberry, please by all means do not fish alone and take your spikes with you.
