early 90's, there was a year that I couldn't get thru the ice with my hand auger and had to spud a couple more inches to hit paydirt......had to have been 36".......this is an epic cold blast for this time of year IMHO......should be a good base for the rest of the season

I remember I think in the early 80s I was at the pond hand drilling well over 2’ ran to town and bought a model 30 jiffy by  the time the freeze subsided I was bottoming out 1 more day and I would have had to spud , in those days  we drove  our trucks out ,

Fred I have buddies that live to fish Lakers thru the ice they go everyday when there is safe ice good waters are only 30 minutes from my house and I have never done it....reason is I hate the taste of trout perch and eyes are way better so I drive 2 hours to fish my favorite lake

Happy New Year.   I agree with you Pimplepounder. They are also fairly easy to catch with a little variation in jigging method. The way the weather is going, Keuka lake will again freeze enough to reach laker water. When that happens, Ill probably take a trip or two there and let you know. Fun to catch, but unless you smoke them, not so good to eat.
