This question usually does not go over well with the others on this site-everyone is looking for safe ice,small ponds will have safe ice before larger lakes..should find some by the weekend...

Don't forget people can post in the conditions board. Have to be a member to see them so you won't completely ruin your first ice honey hole

I'm driving 5 hours north on Thursday for some safe ice this weekend

(although I'm sure there's safe ice much closer, maybe even in CT and probably in the Berks). I try to plan a trip up north around this time every year to avoid taking a swim around here. I hope to be able to fish locally next weekend.

Drove by Winchester last night , wind had broken skim ice up. It sounded like broken glass rattling. Park had an 1+ inches by the ramp so that's a start.

Looks like I will be out on a pond tomorrow morning here in the northeast corner. The pond had 1/4-1/2 yesterday as of 5pm and checked this morning and had 2-2 1/2 inches

I walked one my shiner pond for the first time this year much later than last year, and the forecast looks good after the mess coming next weekend.

....it blew 15-20 all night and more today. Hard to make ice when there is white caps. I did fish 4-8" 1.5hrs north this morning. It wont be long.

Yeah..... Big lakes will have white caps but smaller ones wont have much wind at all on them, i was walking on a pond yesterday that I plan on ice fishing monday because i have work and skiing in VT all weekend. AY.

Be careful out there. Stay safe.

glenn1776 · « **Reply #21 on:** Jan 02, 2015, 07:18 PM »

Thanks rt don't look promising but you'll be the first to know. Should be out there by 2 to check

Pepe Goody · « **Reply #22 on:** Jan 03, 2015, 05:32 AM »

I will be checking a couple of local ponds today and report on ice thickness here in northern New London County. (Pachaug pond area to be more like it).

glenn1776 · « **Reply #23 on:** Jan 03, 2015, 09:06 AM »

Plenty of ice but is it safe ice. Trying to get out before this storm hits.

Pepe Goody · « **Reply #24 on:** Jan 03, 2015, 03:18 PM »

Beach pond mostly open water (except near Finn beach, abt 1/2" to 3/4" there). Also checked two 10 acre ponds in Pachaug SF and both had 3" to 3-1/2" black ice.

Otisthedog · « **Reply #25 on:** Jan 03, 2015, 04:23 PM »

Fished small pond in Norfolk today. Ice was inconsistent 1.5 inches along Eastern shore yet 3.5 to 4 inches elsewhere.
8 flags, 2 brookies, very slick with snow from yesterday and today...need creepers. Just happy to get out!
