What does the ice look like on the chain?  Anyone out on the lakes yet?  I have t believe this rain and warm weather have taken care of a lot of the ice we were "FINALLY" getting.

These are my home lakes.  The ice is plenty fine, people have been walking out pretty far even with all this rain.  I was standing on 4 inches of ice over the weekend on one of my spots.  Try the southeast end of Chetek or the north end of Prairie.

Thanks.  I can't believe there is any ice left that we had previously checked.  May have to travel a little farther north next week. I'll check back then.

can anyone tell me what the ice is like on the chain now? still fishable? One more week and making a trip up there. Cant wait!

Ice couldn't be better.  Its at least 5 inches all over and all the water froze solid.

[asselin24]

Thanks. Weather looks good up there. Can't wait to get on some ice

How about an update on the Chetek chain.  We're going up there this weekend and wondering what the ice is like.  Are they driving out yet and if so where are they going out from.  Any info will be appreciated.
