Woke up this morning to a fresh coat of ice on the lake. This is the first full freeze up of the season but the weather looks promising. We should not be seeing anything higher than the 20's for the next week or so. I figure to be on the ice within the next week or so on some of the smaller waters. The lake where I live is actually an impoundment so the ice can really be hit or miss until late in the year. Last year we only had about two weeks of good ice on the impoundment where other true lakes had the typical 3 1/2-4 months of good ice. Hopefully I will have a good first ice report within the next couple weeks. All you ice fishers be safe and good luck.
