Hamlin Lake

Has any one been on Upper Hamlin yet this year?  How's the ice?  I hoping with the current cold snap that it will be fishable this coming weekend.  It's always good for some nice gill's during early season.

I have not been up there my self but I have heard that the lower bayous have been fished on and I think that upper Hamlin has full ice but it was not safe this last week end so maybe by this up coming week end it will be safe.

Here this is where I got my info from:

Upper Hamlin has plenty of ice, plenty of fisherman and lastly plenty of 'gills on the ice. I walked out from the boat launch at Beach Lane.
There are  a half dozen shantys on Lower Hamlin @ the North Bay (Bayou?) I didn't walk out on the ice.
Bass Lake North of Pentwater has several shantys and fisherman. Didn't stop.

Thanks for the info you just made up my mind, HUNTING OR FISHING. I'm going to Hamlin this week end for some early Gills and maybe a few speck and Perch. Fishing in mid December on West Michigan cost that sounds great to me .
