I fished shabbona in the sommer about 10 years ago befor i moved to Wis. but i have never ice fished it. I going to give it a try this year don't remember there being eyes in there, but thats great. Is there any size to them? Is that a pretty safe lake to move around on or do you have to worry about springs? Thanks again for the info.

I haven't ice fished there. But I hear they catch alot of fish in the winter.

Here is the link to their website.
