Is there enough ice in any of the coves that might last the warm front? Maybe McHenry Cove? It's kind of looking like back to square one. Looks to be another cold front behind this heat wave.
McH cove is all open water as of noon today. I expect new ice shortly in the shallow, low volume locations. Only question is how much residual heat needs to bleed off H2O again / how windy or still at night / how soon next heat wave. Hope that'll help.
Cherry cove was completely iced over this morning.
There were people fishing before the rain and warm up in the usual early ice spots but it didn't last long. I heard the whole lake capped on Christmas Eve but not sure if that is completely accurate or not.
The whole lake isn't totally froze yet. There isn't enough ice to fish just yet, middle next week after the cold front comes in maybe. I will see if anybody is out in McHenry cove tomorrow.
