Not sure about up north but south end will have to start from scratch in most places

I'll auger Bowdish tonight and give a report. I fished the spillway Sat Morning and there was 7 inches. Wilsons was about the same. I'm sure Sunday took its toll but it was 13 degrees when I left this am and the lake was creaking and groaning pretty good. I'm sure it's tightened Sundays losses up pretty well.

about 40 yds out in front of my place on Bowdish there is a good 6 inches. Edges are skunky but tightening. Waterman looks pretty good a couple open spots right near shore. That lake takes a lot of wind so it doesn't tighten up as fast. I'd spud the edges to make sure they are good. Plank 'em if you need to but mid water there a few good inches of ice up in NWRI. I can't imagine Wilsons is much different. I'll keep posting right into the weekend.
