I honestly didn't measure with a tape, but it was a solid 16"+ of ice.
Thanks again Sundancedan, We went to CVR this morning and ice was just like you said, Solid and smooth, with no surface water. Ice was roughly 20+ `where we were. Temperature was between -7 and +1 with a wind blowing about 12 KPH.
Had a fantastic day, Caught a total of 11 fish plus hooked up to about 6 others. Out of the 11 there were 10 pike ranging from 20 to 27 inches plus 1 Walleye measured 17 inches. at one time we had a triple header. one inside the tent and the 2 tippets outside. Thats when we caught the Eye. Did take pictures, but most turned out too blurry.
Hey Shotgun, Ice conditions were really good. Only found 1 patch of snow with dirt and grit about 4 feet round. rest was smooth as silk.
