Strong westerly winds pushed the water to the east. The water must find a path to equilibrium. It returns west somewhere. On Syracuse Lake it is open to the east and south shores with area eroded in between - somewhere. Be careful is the word.
On Wawasee the north shore is open and some fishable spots are questionable at best. Ice is eroding from below. Take a buddy, safety rope, spuds,life jacket, whatever you have. Don't go alone, don't walk together.
