not to mention, Newberry always is a midwinter freeze area because they do get more snow then the rest of the region. I myself, love to fish the area becasue there are a lot of small lakes right in that area but I won't even bother to check them til later on. I know last year, I didn't have safe on my few favorite lakes over there until middle of January and even then I only had 7inches of ice at best.
