Good morning, I just got back from checking out the lake. The wind Wednesday night and Thursday really tore up the ice. It opened up the shoreline at the end of Lakeside drive down to Lanzi’s, and bunker hill in spots.

Good morning, everyone. I am going to try to keep this as short as I can and get my point across. The Fuel-n-Food 3-day Ice Fishing Tournament is on in its entirety this weekend.

Good morning, everyone, my report is a day late because I wanted to check the lake out on my sled, and as usual I stayed out way too late. Since last week the lake has made an inch of ice

Even with the really cold weekend that followed the last report it didn’t make much ice. With the really cold nights this past week and no snow cover, To my amazement, there is about 2 more inches of ice 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 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.

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.
