I'm just playin with ya. Perhaps you forgot to ask for a specific lake?

"Any updates on ice thickness?" Only minutes after I just posted some seems like a mistake. No?

8-10" at Mcgregor, fishing sucked. Fished from 14' -28' from 8:25 - 4:00. Marked 5 fish or so on the Flasher, north end south of the boat launch.

We were out on Beaver Mines Lake yesterday, the ice was about 8" and the fishing was pretty good. My buddy caught a bull trout yesterday, but my camera batteries died right at that time so no pictures. Caught a few nicer sized rainbows yesterday morning.

North end of Gull yesterday. Found 14.5 inches but also found 8 inches in the same area!!! Very inconsistent ice this year. I walked out but most others were in vehicles ...not near me though.
