Walked down to the dock (Tainter Lake) and the ice was able to support my weight. It cracked when I bounced my weight on it. I don't feel safe going out on it, but tomorrow afternoon I am going to go try and fish.

2 inches of ice in the Rhinelander area. Was able to set some tip-ups on a lake yesterday. Did not feel totally comfortable but I did wear a life jacket! Worried about the big snow storm on the way for Wednesday. that will not help the ice building in my opinion.

Yea, we don't need the heavy snow thier predicting, especially since the temps will be dropping right after the snow.

Wind lake was wide open this morning, the big snow won't hurt it, but my buddy's 30 acre pond has 2 inches on it, should be ready by the weekend.

Melbs7 · « **Reply #39 on:** Dec 07, 2009, 05:16 PM »

This is a small lake not far from my house. The pics were taken about 30 mins ago... and as you can see... there is about an inch on solid clear black ice there....... getting REALLY close!!!!

WooHOOOOOOOOOOOO

With winter storm Allison approaching, and snow predictions ranging from 8-12 inches

How much do you think this will affect early ice? I still hope to be out on the ice this weekend!

Do any of you guys know how much ice is on Boom Lake? I am going over for the Tourney in two weeks and was just wondering.

Thanks in advance,

@wi iceguy - I'm predicting that the wind will keep the snow off the ice, and the temps after the storm will freeze up everything for the season...

ice fishing has begun in central wisconsin

Sven936 · « **Reply #43 on:** Dec 08, 2009, 10:05 AM »

On the ice right now. First fish was a 22" snot rocket. Small 100 acre lake. 2 to 2.5in of real good ice. This snow is not something we need at this moment. Oh well at least I got on!!!!

What part of the state were you fishing? How thick was the ice?

Iceshanty · « **Reply #48 on:** Dec 08, 2009, 03:53 PM »

Close to home

About 2 1/2" of nice black ice.

I was planning on taking a road trip Friday to a small lake by Eagle River and try and hit some walleyes.

Nice video IceShanty! I'm glad to see that safe ice has finally come around, and looking forward to the start of another great year on the ice!

GREAT VIDEO SHANTY. good placement of shanty as well.

Approximately 8" of blowing and drifting snow here in Rusk County. Hopefully it blows off of the lakes. I was going to try a small lake friday, I'm not sure now.......?

Melbs7 · « **Reply #54 on:** Dec 09, 2009, 08:53 AM »

Everyone just take it easy as you might be venturing out on lakes this weekend. This snow could really kill hte ice that we had.... just use precautions!!

wi iceguy · « **Reply #55 on:** Dec 09, 2009, 11:33 AM »

Right now I've got over 16" inches of snow in our driveway!
