you should find around 30-36 inches of good ice all over.

As far as a good crappie lake, I'm looking for one too. :D

All that I can tell you about how thick the ice is this... that my Jiffy 30 handle bar's are on the ice just as it breaks through ... so yes there is very good ice... west central Minnesota... Otter tail County area.
I only work so that I can afford to fish, hunt, & farm
