There's a fine line between fishing and just standing on the ice like an idiot! I won't tell you which side of the line I'm on.

42 inches of good solid ice here.

Slight correction ...

Yes, on this particular lake 42" thick where the ice had been windswept clear beside a permie, but on average about 36" of ice elsewhere in the same area with more than a foot of packed snow cover on top.

Just about had to finish drilling my holes on my knees yesterday, about 32 inches of ice.  Today there was about 27".  Either way, tons of ice compared to normal.  Usually we average about 20" on a good year here in central Maine.
