Reservoir / pond... ice conditions
« on: Feb 17, 2011, 12:39 PM »
Anyone been out on any reservoirs or ponds the last few days. Just wondering about the ice. Got
A day off tomorrow and don't wanna fall through. There was 15-18" Saturday. I don't think it will
be unsafe but looking for some others opinions. Thanks in advance and hope for cold weather or
I'm gonna have to get my boat out soon.

Thanks my fellow graftonian lol I think thats what they call us. I will use the old 8' 2x6 to help me out. If i don't hear any more info, I will let you all know first thing in the morning. Maybe we will get lucky and run into each other sometime. Hope for cold weather.
