Here in metro Denver, ice thickness is so different from lake to lake or on small ponds. Bigger impoundments around are running 6-9"

I was fishing 3-4" on a small pond last night and with the 10-day forecast not showing much below freezing even at night; ice fishing on small ponds will be done for the season.

A much different story up in the high country. Most reservoirs are 20-24"

right now on lake superior we have between 12-16 inches depending on where you go. I couldn't even give a guesstimate on an inland lake here now, all I know is that I don't wanna try drilling it with a hand auger.

anywhere from 30 to 36 inches around Republic and Ralph area. No I would not want to try it with a hand auger either. Steve

Where do you live that you have that much ice? How the heck do you drill a hole is that thick of ice?
