Title: Ely ice report for opening weekend
Post by: greatoutdoors on May 05/08/13, 07:49:38 PM

Most every lake in the Ely area will be ice covered for the opener.
The amounts will vary, but 90% or more ice covering are going to be normal for almost every lake.
With temp's dropping for the opener, it may throw total ice out until the 2nd weekend or longer! :cry:

Almost every lake will be open this weekend, exceptions being Burntside, Snowbank, and a few other large lakes.
Burntside still has quite a bit of ice on it, but should be open by Sunday or Monday.
