Don't bother with Sister Lake area. None of them are ready.  My friend says they are fishing Juno which I have never fished before.  I assume you will check out Stone and Diamond in Cass.

Went out for a few hours yesterday and just got home from this morning. Lake had about 3-4 inches of good ice. Caught a lot of fish but almost al of them were dinks. Sure was nice to get out there. Sun up to sun down tomorrow.

I checked a couple lakes this afternoon.. All were about 3" of good hard ice, little or no snow. A couple lakes were open water.

Was on the Eagle channel yesterday morning.  A couple guys came out around 9:00 and said they had just come from Juno.  As they were walking out there were 2 other guys out in front of them - one guy went through the ice.  Made it out ok, but there must be some thin ice.  Maybe things have tightened up with the temps yesterday and last night.  Ice on Eagle channel was about 3" - fishing was slow.
