We are icing up up here in WA already went out to a lake on Wednesday and it was completely ice free and I went fishing today (Friday) there and it was 2/3 of the way iced up. We are getting a cold front that is suppose to be here for the next week and half or so with Saturday looking like the only day it will reach above 30* so we should get some solid ice. I have never ice fished before but am hoping to try it out this year. Hope you guys get some hard water soon!
