how much ice was there?

[96snake719]

I was one of the 6 out there. Big guy I'm pretty sure I wasn't to far out from you. I managed 10 where I was. But it was a struggle! They were tight lipped for me today. I tried in a little bit closer as well and nothin. You must have caught em all lol

[grubdropper]

I think the shore line might not be in good shape with all this rain and warn weather. 

[spoof]

ice does not look safe  51 degrees out and a heavy rain tonight,

[catmandofish78]

we went out wed morning 9-3pm, about 4-5 other shantys out there, about 4-8" of ice in areas, 1" of water on top & was all solid, but fish was slow biting. dont know how safe itll be now, i wouldnt go out with heavy sleds now!

[big_guy_13021]

I did good Wednesday and today  I got my limit both days 5 foot a water both days fish were just under the ice.ice is sketchy now I was sitting on 3 inches of ice today some places mite have 5 inches alot a water on top..Wednesday I hooked a boat load of crappies got some nice gills to I think I'm done on the ice way to much rain now all that run off will kill the ice real fast from bottom up. I'll be getting kayak ready now to get back after them...stay safe everyone be careful I would hate to hear of someone going threw

[bigal409]

Guess We will have to wait for someone to report the conditions there. 

[Nysportxman]

With or without the reports, I'm planning on taking a drive out there tomorrow morning.  I'll report what I find.

I'd do the same thing tomorrow if it wasn't such a long drive. Would love to get there again.

At otisco now.  Shoreline access at the dam is only accessible near the house at the opposite end of the rail.  It's soft near the drain pipe..stay away from there.  Ice is about 4 to 6 " in spots.  30 guys out right now.  Who else is here?
