Ya I get off work around noon will pick up youngest from daycare and grab auger and tape and punch a couple holes out from dock

Ran out to check ice it was anywhere from 4 to 7 an a half inches worst ice I found was east of dock about middle of the pond just a little area of 4 inches

tj,
That should be good,
There is a spot east of the dock that has a spring and the ice never gets very thick.
We will move a little more west and should be ok.
Will drill more holes in the AM just to be sure .
Thanks for the help,
See you at the clinic.

HOOORAY,
Just finished the kids clinic.
Had 107 kids fishing .
It was slow but a few trout, perch and sun fish were caught.
The weather was perfect, no rain and no wind.
Ice was wet and 5-7 1/2 inches of good ice.
Thank you to everyone who came , who helped and a big thanks to all the sponsors.
It was a big success .
Already planning next years event.

A friend of mine in Missoula took his 10 year old son to the clinic today.  He said that it was a good time and slow fishing, but managed to get a bite right as they were getting to leave and missed the fish.  My pseudo-nephew won a Frabill fishing combo, and also had his name drawn for another rod and a pole holder.  My friend said that occasionally people would come by and hand out some jigs, so I thought that was pretty cool.

Even though I live to far away to participate in this event with my kids, I would like to extend a big THANK YOU to those of you that organize this event for the kids!  I would also like to commend you for continuing to do your part in helping the youth (the future of hunting and fishing) interested in the sport with this wonderful event.
