Walked out to the pressure ridge and was there by around 6:30 today.  Fished for about 2 hours until the storm blew in. unbelievable wind!!! In 2 hours I caught 4, threw one back. There's a lake on the lake    All over the lake there are massive puddles anywhere from a skiff to about 3-4" of standing water. BIG blocks of ice coming out when we drilled holes, barely any shavings.  The shore is really doing bad, super saggy with about 4-5" of water all up and down the shore.  Where old cracks meet the shore its opened up.  Despite the sketchy ice conditions I didn't fall in. yeah.  Also, couldn't believe my eyes, but there were 2 cars driving around and still a few atv's.  Ice may hold up for another day or two... three?  today was my last day though...unless it gets super cold again, otherwise I had a great season but I don't really want to end it by swimming.

What is the ice like out from the Silo's or is it rotten everywhere? I am sledding at Cooke Thurs. and Sat., So I am robbed until next monday. Which leads me to the Question, does anybody ice fish those lake around Cooke? I remember fishing them when I was a child.

Went out to Hole in the Wall this past weekend.  Good ice from the Silos out (~20") a little slushy at the surface by 2 pm but no ponded water.  Trout were biting hard most of the day.  Saw a lot of trout guts on the ice right near the Silos boat ramp and plenty of folks fishing off the dikes.  Only one perch caught by a buddy, but it was a hog (1.11 lbs) as weighed by FWP.

Don't know how much longer ice will last
