I talked to a delivery friend of mine who makes deliveries in Copper Harbor on Thursday. I ask him to keep an eye for ice fisherman at there. As of Thursday the 18th, he told me that no fisherman seen and the water was partially open with some areas covered with what appeared to be thin ice and snow. In his opinion, there is no way it was safe for fishing. I will update this if and when I get more reports from him. He's pretty reliable, so if he sees fisherman there he will contact me.
