Bowdish has a slush cover as of Tuesday the 16th at 12pm. We get some temps that they have been saying might get fishing by Friday/Sat. I'll be bait hunting shortly Runnings Putnam/ Bob's in Dayville / or Big Bear.

Wilson's is mostly open water. I checked a few smaller ponds in the area today. They all had about 2" of crappy snow ice. It's going to be a few more days for sure.

Spudded Bowdish at 4 pm today... 2 inches here on the end near the Route #44 causeway. I spudded out in front of the house about 20 feet out. Ice here is milky but tight. West end is still open somewhat. Like Comeonnow said another day or two and we should be looking pretty good. Be making ice around the clock for the next 48 it looks like. Weekend fishing might be in the offing.

Some Ponds in Lincoln were almost locked. Lots of moving water still from rains. Hopefully fishable soon before the warm up. Stay safe

As of 9 am about 2 1/2 inches here pretty tight. Still partially open on the west end of the lake and at the inflow of Lake Washington. Lake Washington by eyeball is pretty tight as well. Picking up bait today I'll be fishing by tomorrow here on Bowdish out in front of the house.

Went up to check Peck Pond right on the CT border west of Bowdish right before dinner (4 pm or so). Had ice... 2 guys were fishing it. They were dry so the ice must have been good.

Tomorrow is another day got in a 6 good hours of fishing was on the ice at 6:30am. I'll be out same time tomorrow. Have fun and be safe fellas

What been found for ice out there? I used today to scout and get bait for tomorrow. We checked 7 ponds today. Started in Griswold and found a small 10 acre pond I like had 3 inches, everything else in Griswold/Voluntown was too sketchy for us. Found some ice in Burrillville area. Crossed back into CT and found a few other spots with nice ice. We are ready to go for tomorrow and plan to be drilling by 6:30a.
Bait was tough but managed the last 2 doz mediums from B&J’s. They still have plenty of heavy’s.
Good luck all!!!

Well another 4 hours on Bowdish without a flag. Cut it short due to unfavorable weather conditions and hand warmer malfunctions. It was not quite Ice Planet Hoth weather, no Ton-Tons running around.... but without a flag in 4 hours, figured I'd cut my losses, save some bait and fish again tomorrow when weather slacks up, cold and wind wise. Still have a dozen mediums to work with tomorrow morning. Cold, blue sky days do not treat Bowdish well from a fish standpoint, all the days like today, cold, windy and blue sky no clouds (over 7 seasons give or take the 2 no ice years) here have been skunks. Good luck and stay safe everyone. Hope fish are getting caught by someone.

Does anyone have a report on Wilson's? Got out in Concord, NH yesterday. 5-7 inches. 8 perch. This would be a great week to Fish NH. Fred

Awesome guys. Of course the first weekend we had a shot at local ice I took a trip to NH... to go skiing. Didn't have much time Sunday and didn't bring my ice gear. After the rain this week I might have to drive a bit further. Just glad it feels like winter
