I got bored this afternoon and took a cruise around the chain. I believe ice season is over around here. I did see 1 giy on Schneider but the shoreline are toast.

Ice be gone here on Beaver & St. Olaf Lake since Saturday nite. Was a small piece of ice up in the NW corner of St. Olaf when I drove by this a.m. but that was it.

I see there are a few out here fishing today with ATVs.  The ice is looking pretty dark.  Last night I talked to a resort owner over on Winnie who feels the ice will probably be done by the end of next week.  There is still over 30" of ice but its just not good ice.   Going to be a while before we see open water.

:scratch: that always baffles me!!!!!! a lake as big as Winnie that usually takes longer to lock up has more ice then the cabin lake that usually locks up relatively fast has 23 inches of ice when i was up there, and winnie has 30?????????

Buddy of mine told me yesterday that he drilled down about half way and his hole filled with water.  All crystalized ice most of the way down.   But a LOT of it.
