I have very mixed reports on the situation there but Echo finally started to show ice yesterday in the shallows near the inlet so I would think S&M would be capped but as to how thick I would not dare venture. I will ask a couple regulars up that way and see what they know ---

Thanks for the responses. It remains a target for me (and I have two sets of chains…) ---

Anyone know if Smith and Morehouse has safe ice? Also, is that road still open? Trying to find some additional spots to ice fish. Thanks in advance!
