Happy Friday, after all conditions and factors considered the Fuel-n-Food 3 day contest is officially canceled. I was out yesterday on my snowmobile, and saw enough bad spots to make this decision. The issue is not that there isn't good ice. It's Between 11'' and 7.5'' thick where there is ice. There is a perfect amount of snow on it too about 3'' and no slush.

Happy Wednesday! It's hard to believe our first week of February is behind us. What a difference a week makes in the ice though.

Good morning, happy Wednesday its starting to look a little more like winter out there. As far as the Lake is concerned, not a lot has changed since last week.

Also I know with the 3-5 inches of snow coming people will be itching to get out there. If you do decide to ride (WHICH I DO NOT RECOMMEND) where a wetsuit, and be off by dark.

The lake is the best conditions conditions for snowmobile's I have seen all season there is just the right amount of snow to give you traction. Yet not too much as to get really bumpy and slushy. It's still a little choppy going from Bachelorville  North.

The fuel-n-food 3 day contest this weekend is on. Between the cold weather this past weekend, and yet to come the lake has set back up. Still be aware, as always there may be bad spots. So fish on and we will see everyone this weekend.

This is as of Friday afternoon. There is still 18'' of ice on the lake, the problem is the water level is up 4 feet since last Friday. Between all the rain and snow melt the HRBRRD has had the Concklingville dam closed. What this has done is made the shorelines bad and opened up all the ice ridges. I will keep it short because there's not much change in the ice thickness, still 20". The only big change is there is no more snow on the lake or slush, as of 3 o'clock Friday. The biggest change since my last lake report is that the water level is down just a little over 4 feet. This has caused a lot of the natural features such as rocks, stumps, and islands to poke up through the ice.

Here is the much anticipated walleye challenge weekend lake report. I will keep it short because there's not much change in the ice thickness, still 20". The only big change is there is no more snow on the lake or slush, as of 3 o'clock Friday. The biggest change since my last lake report is that the water level is down just a little over 4 feet. This has caused a lot of the natural features such as rocks, stumps, and islands to poke up through the ice.

These are the conditions as of Tuesday night... The biggest change since my last lake report is that the water level is down just a little over 4 feet. This has caused a lot of the natural features such as rocks, stumps, and islands to poke up through the ice.
