This morning when we checked ice depths we gain about another inch.  So now we are ranging from 9.5″ in the thinner areas to almost 11″ average on the rest.  Rougher ice areas are thicker but it doesn’t mean too much if there is thinner ice between them to shore, I think our inch a day ice making is going to slow down with the temps not as cold as they have been, but we will check again in the morning.

It was my first day out in the Land Cruiser and established roads to Popes, North side of Popes, south of Spider island and got thru the rougher ice headed to the Graveyard and Ray’s Reef.  I’m going to head that direction tomorrow. You can look at the lake map portion of the website to see.  We also put out two of our first 8’x12′ basic rentals and will get some more smaller ones out tomorrow.  I’m going to wait until later this week to get more out depending on how much ice we get overnight.

For now it will remain SxS’s, portables, ATV’s, snowmobiles.  If you have a wheelhouse under sixteen feet and a SxS you can take them out to areas where we have established roads too. We have plenty of parking room for rigs with or without wheelhouses.  Rentals we will shuttle to and from for now and if you have a mode of transportation to get into shore, (just in case) would be nice.  There are anglers in them tonight, and we have openings for this week and weekend if your interested. Call the office in the morning,  hours are 7:00 am to 5 pm, Sunday thru Thursday. 7:00 am to 7 pm, Friday and Saturday.  (320-676-8740)

Better late than never…
