On Gillett today slow as well one perch, one little gill and a kitty cat but first time out no skunk.  Safe four inches with an added inch cap from the slush.

Fished the state park at Portage today. Maybe 3+ inches but varied greatly. Clark was soft on both the east and west ends, but some guys went out in front of consumers. Ended up fishing Vandercook this afternoon which was less than exciting but had a good 4" layer. Didn't do much catching but beats the time waiting for a freeze! Also heard Swains has 4".

Got out to south lime today, good 4.5 inches of hard ice, booming like crazy so we're making ice.  Fishing was slow but got enough for a good meal.  Gonna try north lime tomorrow....

How goes it out there fellas, been on the overtime train how's our ice looking. Doom and gloom, or still good just be cautious?

Bluebird, I'd give it a few days, was at lime today, looked like no one had been on south, one guy way down on the end at north lake.  I'll give it another check tomorrow.

Thanks for the updates Andy. It's hell sitting at work thinking of the lack of ice.

Guys on north lime today.  Tracks on south lake.  Fire dept. was there doing a rescue practice, pretty cool.  Hope that's the only way I ever see it!

We have some cold weather coming. I can't get out till Friday. People have been on Skiff, but I have been watching thru my spotting scope. Only saw 1 small gill caught in 4 or 5 days.

Any wheelers or snowmobiles on Clark over the weekend? I'm getting my 3wheeler back from the shop this week and was hoping to spin around on the ice before it's gone, thanks for any info.
Funniest thing about ice fishing for me is when people who know nothing about ice activities try to warn me about the dangers of the ice...

Careful on Vander cook lake. Uncle seen fire-crews there went by today and there is a cone off area out in front of boat launch. Hope everyone is ok.

Does anyone target and catch walleye out on Clark, I've tried but only found tiny perch so far while searching for them.

Welp forecast for today was cloudy and 50, Sun came out and it got to 60... Any reports from Clark, I went down to Toledo and got my 3 wheeler but she might be staying on dry land tomorrow, I guess I'll poke around and find out in the morning.

Water on top of the ice, another hot day with temps above freezing all night ice could be sketchy.
