I was out tonight and there is 2 inches of snow ice and 8 of normal ice. Is all it did is pretty much melt the snow . I was on Long Lake in Union MI.

was on hamilton last night and had 14" of good ice.....drove by it tonight and all the snow is gone. It's gonna be slippery.

Winona has 8-12 inches. Most lakes in the area are similar.

I didn't make an exact measurement, but Big Turkey (Stueben Co.) had plenty last night. At least 10 inches I would guess.

WAWASEE STILL HAS ATLEAST 12" IN EVERY HOLE

I was on Lafferty this morning(just a couple miles across the boarder in Michigan) and the ice was about 13 inches thick. About half the lake had water standing on top of the ice, anywhere from 1 in to 5 inches of water. I drilled some holes where there was standing water and looked like flushing a toilet. Water was rushing down the holes like crazy. Not a good situation for that lake. Will not go back there this year anymore.

11" on a Steuben Cty. lake today...no more snow..lots of water scattered about. Caught about 30 keepers (gills / crappie) between the two of us in about 4 hrs.

10-12 inches on Sylvan. Might have a hard time getting to it in a day or two.

I'm sitting on 6 right now on clear lake in Fremont.

Better than I expected but it was getting a little wet when I walked off in noble co tonight. Was on 3 lakes in that county today and the ice was holding. I'm sure some of it will survive tomorrow, just not sure how much or where!

Hexagenia51 · « **Reply #12 on:** Feb 23, 2019, 08:18 PM »

If we get 55 or 60 mph gusts tomorrow the ice may survive, the real question is, will anybody on the ice survive. Shanties can't take that kind of gusts, at least not my clam! The forecast looks promising but wind could be bad for existing ice. I remember back in the day the ice heved on Morrison Island (the See) and it looked like a bulldozer just wiped the lakefront cottages out! Hopefully that doesn't happen with this blow! Later Hex

Gotta be crazy to fish tomorrow! We'll see what happens with this weather system. I'm not any better than the weather men at predicting this weather. I thought the ice was long gone, now I think someone, somewhere in NE Indiana will be walking on water in March.

Hexagenia51 · « **Reply #14 on:** Feb 23, 2019, 09:38 PM »

Same here Roeboat, ice has held better than I figured. But I'm seeing rising temperature right now this late soft ice can be tricky to judge! Hope guys error on the safe side! Hex

Pouring rain right now in butler. .. hope all the rain isn't like that.

Good call hex I was on 6 to 9 everywhere I drilled Friday in northern Indiana but there were a lot of bubbles in the ice, It was good ice then but I don’t know how it will favor afer this weekend

teardrop · « **Reply #17 on:** Feb 24, 2019, 03:55 AM »

If the north got the rain like here in Wabash and Grant counties, I would say the ice isn’t safe. That’s my opinion, you all take care and be safe. Too many tragedies this year.
