Illinois > Ice Fishing Illinois
Ice... close, yet so far.

Checked a few ponds in Iroquois County today, since it was 12° this morning when I got up for work. All of them were skinned solid with half an inch, give or take a bit.
It will be gone by the end of the weekend, though...forecast is 40s and rain Saturday, then more 40s and sunshine Sunday-Tuesday.

I am just west of Chicago. Same here. I don’t expect ice before Jan.

Our first ice down around here is usually mid-January, but that teaser ice always gets my hopes up, even though I know it shouldn't ::)

The teaser ice is always the worst. Gives us so much false hope! I know we're still weeks away from safe ice, but I'm dying to get out. Watching all these ice fishing videos are killing me!

If the rain misses us here Sunday, and they have the forecast close, I might be able to hit a puddle or two around here next weekend. Depends on the weather. I would say unlikely, but not totally out of the picture. A couple of them I fish lock up real fast once they have a good skin.
