I couldn't see any water. All ice.

Drove by Michigan center, Round, Price, Clark and Columbia lakes still iced over as of 4:30. The next test will be the wind hopeful for this coming weekend.

Thanks for the update delta9, I think if we can keep them covered we'll be good for next weekend. They have lowered the snow forecast so that helps. In the meantime might make a trip to houghton or Mitchell, where would you guys go if you had a choice between those two? Haven't fished either in years.

delta9 · « **Reply #33 on:** Jan 09, 2016, 06:23 PM »

Never been to either lake myself. Glad to hear the snowfall might be small, that would be helpful.

Anyone know if the ice survived on Devils lake

Willpkfisher · « **Reply #35 on:** Jan 10, 2016, 07:21 PM »

Most the Ice on bawbeese in Hillsdale survived I'd think by next weekend we should be iced up around 5 inches if temps stable out and stay in the 20s during the day and drop at night

Andym · « **Reply #36 on:** Jan 12, 2016, 11:54 AM »

Stopped at lime today, didn't check ice because I had tennis shoes on, no one fishing either lake though. Any word on vineyard, Clark etc?

40 and rain on Friday?!? **censored**! Was really hoping I'd be able to get out this weekend but that might put a damper on things.

Not calling for that much, we will be OK!

OneMoreFish · « **Reply #39 on:** Jan 12, 2016, 06:02 PM »

Hopefully, the extended forecast looks favorable though! The kiddo has basketball and pinewood derby on Saturday so maybe by Sunday there will be enough to get out on.

delta9 · « **Reply #40 on:** Jan 12, 2016, 06:09 PM »

Came down with something sunday, was sure that my weekend was ruined. Mucinex and alka seltzer plus cold Knocked it and me out for two days. Ready to go!!

Did not see it myself but was told the wind got to it and opened some of it back up. But again that's what I was told might get by there tomorrow.

Clarks kept all of the ice it had through the rain over the weekend. 4 days of cold temps. Guess it's time to give it a shot tomorrow. Can't imagine that it wouldn't have at least 4" by tomorrow with the temps we've had. Fished small lake today on 3.5 inches.

Andym · « **Reply #43 on:** Jan 12, 2016, 07:10 PM »

Heard they were on swains and the mill pond in concord today. Might try lime tomorrow, Thursday for sure.

compli123 · « **Reply #44 on:** Jan 12, 2016, 08:54 PM »

Went to Devils south side, snow too deep but open water in middle. Wamplers locked up, little snow on the ice but bettin' tonight's the night. Spudded out on Vineyard and found 2 inches and 4 guys were fishing out from the launch. Allen, Sand, Evans appear locked up but more snow on both. I think tonight's the nght we'll get to 3+"

OneMoreFish · « **Reply #45 on:** Jan 13, 2016, 04:10 PM »

Anyone getting out around Hillsdale or coldwater?

delta9 · « **Reply #46 on:** Jan 15, 2016, 03:55 PM »

Going out in the a.m. 4 1/2 to 5 inches before the rain started, will wait till daylight just cause.

I have lots on Columbia and Somerset but I never get down there to fish them. I know about the walleyes but I've heard redears, bg crappie. Good fishing?

delta9 · « **Reply #49 on:** Jan 15, 2016, 04:25 PM »

Columbia, Castlewood bay. Somerset has open water thru the middle yet.

topwaterbait · « **Reply #50 on:** Jan 15, 2016, 04:34 PM »

Did you guys get a lot of rain this afternoon? It is coming down pretty good one hour east of you.

delta9 · « **Reply #51 on:** Jan 15, 2016, 04:40 PM »

Heading over to Clark to "dog sit" for a friend. Good thing her husky loves to fish with me! Any update from Clark lake?

Nwfisherman · « **Reply #54 on:** Jan 16, 2016, 12:13 PM »

What's the word on vineyard out from the boat launch?? Really would love to get out mon. , but would feel better about hour drive if I knew there would be four inchs

SKIFFLAKEJIMMY · « **Reply #55 on:** Jan 16, 2016, 01:10 PM »

At 2:00 today there were about 6 flips on the East end of Clark. On the West end out from the park, the ducks have about an acre of water open.

Nwfisherman · « **Reply #56 on:** Jan 16, 2016, 02:50 PM »

Thanks for the up date skiff lake

SKIFFLAKEJIMMY · « **Reply #57 on:** Jan 16, 2016, 03:54 PM »
