Central IL
« on: Jan 06, 2017, 02:57 PM »
Anyone been brave enough to venture out on the ice around Peoria, Bloomington, Champaign? I will be testing the ice and drilling some holes Sunday, but not before then and probably won't get to drop a line then. Looking like next  weekend at the earliest for me. Just wondering how the ice around here is looking.

A bit iffy still. Did hear of some smaller lakes at 3" today, 2" yesterday, so hopefully making an inch a day.

Stopped by the lake real quick yesterday afternoon. Didn't take the auger, so didn't see exactly how much ice was out there, but there was enough to fish. My guess was anywhere between 3" and 5". Hoping the lows at night are enough to keep the ice safe for next weekend.
