it's still warm down here, but they got some snow up north and am hoping cool down soon will have me on ice first weekend in december. May need to drive north a ways, but i am watching the temps.

Skim ice on a little eddy of the creek I live on.

Spooner flowage had ice on it. Skims of ice here and there. Need some single digit nights and it will be gametime!

I'm hopping we're only about 2 1/2, to 3 weeks away. Weather permitting.

There was about 15 feet of ice from shore to water yesterday but the rain took care of it today. With the cold temps that are coming, I will be out by Saturday.

Pretty warm here in Wautoma today, rain and all. However with the cold front moving in and the cold nights, it shouldn't be more than a week and a half for the small ponds, maybe two weeks for the smaller lakes.. Just wishfull thinking I suppose. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

If all goes well I'll start checking my first ice spot this weekend. Hopefully right around the first of the month.

Nick.

Had skim coats this morning on some local small ponds.....but the temps went up and it started raining...you know what that means...

trapster · « **Reply #13 on:** Nov 23, 2010, 08:43 AM »

18 deg. at 8:45 am in Wautoma. Going to be cold again tonight. Too much wind though. Without the wind we'd be making ice.

Skim ice on some ponds around Menomonie. It is getting close.

pullingills · « **Reply #15 on:** Nov 23, 2010, 12:50 PM »

this morning there was a pond we drove by and it was frozen all the way over

bearbgone · « **Reply #16 on:** Nov 23, 2010, 03:54 PM »

Small lake up here in Rusk county was froze all the way over two days ago.

Sven936 · « **Reply #17 on:** Nov 24, 2010, 11:25 AM »

I hunted for ice this morning, found a small pond with 2" and tried the tip ups today before the snow comes. 2 small bass. I got a picture of the tip up. I will post when I get home.

Chetek Chain was frozen all the way over. I tried walking out but sound of ice that is 3/4" thick scared me off.

If we get a bunch of snow today and tomorrow it will ruin that ice..

Tipup Marathon · « **Reply #20 on:** Nov 24, 2010, 05:27 PM »

Looks like for the most part the snows are over. We didn't even get an inch, so ice production will not be affected here.

edfalc · « **Reply #21 on:** Nov 25, 2010, 11:23 PM »

everything but the big lakes are froze up here in Vilas County.....

xcr440 · « **Reply #22 on:** Nov 25, 2010, 11:28 PM »

Nothing here in southern wi. Parents say it freezing nice around St. Germain.

Wiener · « **Reply #23 on:** Nov 26, 2010, 06:50 AM »

Freezing good here in the Stevens Point area.

Hopefully the temps will stay like they are.
Cold and calm is best.

No rain or snow will also make it a lot better.

Going to check a spot today. I'll bet by next weekend I'll be out!
Nick.

I found 2" of good ice! I'm giving it 1 more night, (12deg for a low) then I'll try it tomorrow. (If my buddy will go with.)
Nick.

Just got back from lunch and I saw that the East River here in Green Bay(Allouez) under county road O was frozen over from bank to bank.

I'm sure it wasn't all that thick but at least it's a start!

eyesonice · « **Reply #27 on:** Nov 26, 2010, 07:09 PM »

Some of the lakes around Rice Lake are closed up now. If we can refrain from getting a bunch of snow we should have great ice this year. Maybe even be out in a week.

fishslayer37 · « **Reply #28 on:** Nov 26, 2010, 09:10 PM »

walked out 10 yards on rice lake in a bay... snow blew off, which is good but looks like upper 30's coming for a couple days with rain.. not good.. hate how mother nature gets ya going and just teases ya.. all the gear is ready to go...got the deer now just want some walleye.

trapster · « **Reply #29 on:** Nov 26, 2010, 10:31 PM »

one of the lakes near Wautoma has about 2 - 3 inches. Gonna be out soon. Everything is loaded and ready to go.
