With the cold weather this week - have the edges froze back up?  Would love to hear if anyone has been out this week or is able to get on the ice in the next couple of days.  Thanks

Was up there this afternoon. You aren't going to get on the ice along the pretty much whole north side. Still hasn't froze like I thought it might. I am sure you can get on the ice along the face of the dam but you will have to carry your gear down across the rocks. Or, go towards the south end of dam away from the rocks but will likely have the slope to deal with.

Thanks for the report funtwohunt. How much water is open on the north side shore?  Can you get across with waders or planks?  You think it will lock back up this weekend or next week?   Looks like it should be cold enough righ....  Thanks again

Hunters point might freeze up enough where the water is in the trees. But just past the trees it was still pretty much open. As far as most of the north side last week edge of ice was 50 to 75 feet out. Yesterday, there was some patches of new thin ice that was just about touching shore. The gap is around 25' feet from shore. I am surprised it hasn't froze up with the cold we had.

Great information funtwohunt. Helps out a bunch.  I'm thinking todays temp will put some ice down.   Time will only tell.   I'll check back with you in the next couple of days. Thanks again for your help.
