Chain O' Lakes

[jimEjam]

Went to Chain O' Lakes at around 2:30 pm(this is my only 3rd time ice fishing and I am HOOKED). Early on caught a 11" perch and 5 gills with a buddie, but they really turned off later on in the evening. Ice was at about 4-5".

yea i was talking about the Chain o Lakes in Albion never new there were so many lakes with the same names lol they should have just numbered them all lol so much easier ha ha well wish the Chain o Lakes over here would turn on but this dang melting snow running onthe edges seems to be softening it up a bit on my pond! Hopefully the lakes hold up and stay hard well keep up the pics if i cant catch them its at least nice to see someone is lol

Is the gate open to get to Norman? It was closed last time I went there

[Greg2ha]

Didn't go yet so I'm not sure about the gate. I have walked down the hill from the top before and it's a little tricky. Depends on what is on the ground.Try to stay in the snow and off the ice coming down. Hopefully it has thawed some and the ice
is gone.(NO NOT THE LAKE ICE!)

went out yesterday only about 2" of good ice and 5" of cake.  still a few guys fishing but be careful. I would like to fish the derby to, but I don't know if they are going to have it with the warm temps this weekend.  stay safe. Oh here are some pics from yesterday.  think deep.

here we go talking about two diffrent chains again

[coopason]

Thanks Ice Junky for the report. As of last night the tourney was still a go. My buddy called to check.
Not real familiar with where the "deep" might be? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks again for the report on Chain (lydick)
