4.25" as of 8:00 this morning. That was in the campground cove but it all locked up at the same time. Be careful and don't just take my word for it!

I drove by there today and saw one guy on the east side of the first bridge fishing, but he wasn't 20ft from shore.  Only other person was on the southwest side bridge, and he too was only 15ft from shore.  I might need a few more days before i venture out and make the long walk.

I know the guy that was on the east side of the bridge well! He was there because of the brutal wind chill. Trust me, he will be over deeper water tomorrow eve. The other guy, well I don't know! Probably was just wanting to be close to shore...just in case or at least visible!  The cove has fishable ice but again, spud it for yourself!

No problem I do majority of my fishing there it's got quality fish if you can find them. I probably won't be able to make it back out there till Friday or so due to that dang thing called work :(

Gill I spend lots of hours out at pc every year fishing bass tourneys, but only recently started ice fishing out there the past few seasons.  Are you still going out there Friday as I too will be out there.  Ill be fishing on the west side on the burlington dead end if you wanna join.

I'm going to try if I get off work in time I usually get off around 3 30 or 4 and it's about 35 to 40 min drive for me if not I'll be out there all day Saturday for sure I've never fished to much on that side. you can pm me if you want and we'll discuss some areas.
