Im going up to Coldwater Michigan this thursday for ice fishing, and am making sure there is ice on the lakes. Does anybody know??

I fished Shoals last Sunday. There was 4 1/2 inches in some spots, and 1 inch in others. Be careful. You will need to know a resisdent to get on back there. There is no public access near there.
I'm told the channels on Long lake never freeze too good. Apparently there are quite a few springs in there.
Talked to a guy that checked Marble out a few days ago before the wet snow. He said there was 2 to 2 1/2 inches of ice, and no one out there. He didn't bother to risk it.
I'm just guessing, but I would say the lakes aren't too safe at this point. I may check the area I fished last Sunday again this weekend. I'm not sure how the ice will be with all that wet snow we got.

Well we have a cottage on Long Lake, so thats what I'm going to be primarily fishing, and maybe Middle lake, if there are other people up there. Our cottage is right on a channel, so thats how we're planning on getting out there.

RPF, If Long and Middle don't look good when you get there, you might want to check out Messenger on the West side of Coldwater. It is just a few minutes drive from the Coldwater-Marble Chain. There were 5 or 6 inches of ice last week, near the boat launch, but not the entire lake. Numerous anglers out there every day.
