I live south of Ft Wayne and the ponds I've seen are locked over with snow ice if the wind didn't keep them open.  The state park was wide open yesterday which didn't surprise me.   Just heard the weather and sounds like heavy snow coming again next Sat.   Not good for what ice we will have by than.  Just be careful.

by state park are you talking ouabache, I also checked that today and it was locked up part of it had snow ice but Mose was clear black ice about an inch.

Yes thats the one.  Sun pm it was just the area of the beach and from the point of the beach to the inlet.   Wind was keeping the rest open.   If the snow will stay off of it we might have a chance of it making ice.  Buddies got a few last Tues with the long poles while I was on vacation.

Buddy's pond had 5" of clear ice with about 2 inches of slush from last night's snow.  Started at 3:00 and caught several gills.  Bites came in
bunches.  When the sun began to drop we figured we'd hammer them and they just shut off.  Did put some meat in the freezer though

fish on,
