Well I got skunked for the first time on colchester pond.....fished Monday from 8am until about 1:30.....1 flag. As for the conditions.....was at the south end by the dam....3-4 inches of black ice that held me up and did not crack under foot....the further from shore the thinner the ice......I would not have others stand close to be safe....should make ice the next few days.
Good luck and be safe!
