had to drive past the horseshoe chain to get the beef. seen a fair amount of the lakes on my drive. there all iced over but still virgin. noones checked.

about spit my coffee all over the windshield though.  over on IDO theres a thread about ice.......and a healthy discussion about throwing rocks on  the ice to test.......on one of the bays not near an access point there's rocks on the ice!!!!!!

Now the shoreline will erode.

Now the shoreline will erode.

not really,  it's a small  bay that actually butts up to a road.used to be a good first ice out pan fish spot. No rocks on that shoreline.

I love catfishing. 

[glenn57]

on my way back from meeting up with Mike i decided to take a detour around the chain.......i couldnt see more then30 yards out on the lakes and i kinda expected it, but there was one guy on the river access on hwy 22 and all along the winter access there were anout 10 vehicles parked!! 

seen on FM where horeseshoe don said he pulled his house off the lake that the ice was getting pretty bad!

[glenn57]

i was bored.........since i wanted to take my venision trimmings to Plantenbergs soon i decided to take a tour around the horseshoe chain. so off the dawg and i went.

it was pretty lonely out there, and i made the grand tour, schneider, chain, brown's, long rice lakes. seen 3 people out fishing and maybe 10 houses.

bettin this wekend will be busy though. open water under the hwy 22 bridge yet.

[glenn57]

took a trip around the chain........alot of shorelines have open water.........fair amount of open water in bays...... and a bout 10 goofy dingalings where out on Browns lake!!!!!

[glenn57]

drove to Richmond to drop some stuff off at the kids..........Thyens lake was froze up. Schnieder lake by  the golf course had open water, think the swans are keeping that open!!!!!!!

thinking next week if i get bored i'll take a cruise around the whole chain!!!!!! rumor had it there was a fishhouse and a guy on a pail fishing on becker lake yesterday!!!!
