Thanks Hard Ice! It was about a year ago when you replied to basically the very same question from me. I am planning on hitting the lake on Friday. Will I have any problems making a trail with the ATV and plow to get a small wheelhouse out? My first few spots are only a couple hundred feet from shore. Hope to meet up with you out there sometime.

Thanks again.

Hard Ice,

I usually go out of the south access. I sent you an email as well.

Thanks,

EJ

Ok here's todays report
about 12" of snow on the ice and about 3"-5" of slush
the access is plowed  on the west and east side of Alex
i would bring up a hard side yet unless it's a small one or you don't plan on leaving it on the ice..  lots of portables and just a few hard sides as of tonight..

the landing at fish trap has not been plowed yet and i'm not sure just how much ice is out there s it just froze up about a week ago ..

Ham lakes as about the same amount of slush under the snow but it froze up first so the ice may be a little thicker there but nobody has been on it yet..
