I heard the canals have about 2 inches in some places and with the cold temps coming overnight it should be freezing up good!!

I drove around and checked a few spots, Yes some ice is canals, but sketchy. Spudded a hole while standing on a dock and wet a line. Caught 1 dink perch. LOL. Ice fishing has begun! Todays rain will not help, but later in week will stiffen up :thumbup:

Here you go, a good ice report from yesterday

Yeah the rain sucks and the forecast looks ok at best.

Fingers crossed we get another cold snap or something to get us some ice!!

Hoping to get out with my old man and little brother over xmas holidays - here's to hoping!

Hopefully everyone had a great Christmas with their families!
