South end of Louise has just enough snow to grip the snowmachine north end has a few inches. Fishing was slow but did pick up a 14 pound laker. The ice is about 30 inches at army point, that was the thickest. Drilled in one spot that had 18 inches of white ice and The ridge behind Rugged island is ice free for about 200 Yard. Even though, most places had 25 to 28 inches of solid black ice dont be stupid and go driving a truck on the lake there are some weak spots I noticed. I might do a walk out trip in the next few weeks. I cant get enough of big lakers.
