I went saturday, and did the long walk to the back. ice was like the surface of mars, very rough and patchy, some black ice, some snow ice and some snow on top of ice. thickness was between two and seven inches. especially thin where the snow was. at also broke open in a few areas making it tough to get back. had to zig zag home. fishing was fairly slow- but I did manage four bass to 3.5 #'s, and four perch. no pike no pickeral
