Thanks for the update ksgoosekillr.  Do you think there will be fishable ice by Friday morning at the causeway?

Still patiently waiting here.  Looking at the forecast for next week, looks like Cheney/ElDo should get some good ice as well.  Hoping to make it out somewhere either Sunday or Monday.  Thanks for the update!

A lot of open water at Kirwin today.  Thousands of ducks and geese keeping Kirwin open. A lot more ice at Glen, must have been colder further east. Be careful.
