Just wondering if there is someone out there that could point me to a few good lakes to ice fish this winter. I just moved back to IL after living in northern Wis for 10 years. I live in ogle county just south of Rockford. Any info would help thanks.

Fox Chain of Lakes just east of Rockford
Lake Geneva, Delavan
There is a state park in Rockford that has some good crappie action. Can't remember the name.

It is really starting to look up. Lows in the upper 20s and a chance for the white stuff. Even if they already know it wont stick it is still a good sign.

I need to get stuff ready too. Be better to do it before it gets cold outside. Thinking about doing a mod to my one-man sled. I need a rack to hold the IceGAtor and auger, both assembled and unassembled. I like to pull the sled to my spot and then put the auger together. But once I am there I like to leave it together for the day and still be able to move around.
