Have you ever noticed when jigging on a day when there is no wind, the water in your hole goes up and down?? thats not just current. Yes wind does effect ice conditions at all times. Wind blowing on hard ice, creates a ripple effect underneith the ice. You may not notice it, but the fish do. I prefer a wind out of the west or east If Im willing to fish in windy conditions. It affects the lake less because of our mountains. You get a dead north wind or a dead south wind, forget it.
