 I checked on there and didnt see any current ice reports. I live out in Ft.Wayne now but I used to live out that way. I miss that ol Wolf Lake but If I hear anything else about it I will let ya know. Maybe call Mik-lurch Tackle or whoever they are.....Good to see someone interested on that lake....you just never know what you going to catch out there....Take Care   Jim

Saturday the Indiana side still had open water out from the boat launch, the channel was froze over with about 2" except for the north end which hardly ever ice over completely, not sure about the Illinois side, and it seems like for the last year or so nobody wants to post any reports on the wolf lake web site????

I'm not sure how thick it is there, the Indiana side is open all night, just know that Hammond passes a city ordnance last year that closes all parks at dust, however the lake is DNR controlled, not city, so as long as you are on the lake and not in the park you are OK, when you park you have to park on the lake side of the road, if you park in one of the park parking lots they will ticket you :-\
heading to long lake in the morning 8)
