Need Coldwater Lake Info

[zman]

My son and I are going to try and fish Coldwater on Sunday. How much rain are you guys getting up there? How much ice did you have before the rain? Any info much appreciated. zman

Don't know condition of ice on Coldwater but there is the Tip Up Ice Carnival in Quincy, Mich Sat and Sun.  If you don't get to ice fish at least check out the ice carnival.  The list of events is on the web page for  discovermichigan.com under the calendar for Coldwater.

There are plenty of lakes in the area that are great to get out on.Coldwater lake is just to open unless we have sub temps and no wind for at least a week.Marble where the tip up is should be good.I fish Randall almost every day and its been a great year.If your on a 4 wheeler it will be tough getting off the shoreline till sunday unless you find a spot the north east wind didnt hit. good luck  kesascove
