Oh so sorry. I didn’t realize that looking at the lake from my living room window everyday and reporting on its state was not good enough for you. It froze. It snowed and on the 28th the whole lake was white as the ice was covered in snow. Last night the wind came up and opened a section in the middle.

I never stated that it would not open up in sections or that the pressure cracks wouldn’t open or any thing. I stated that it froze over.

I actually appreciate any ice updates! I'm just trying to keep people informed. There is open water on some shorelines as far as the eye can see, has nothing to do with ice moving in the middle. I'd upload photos but this site has horrible image standards.

wind plays a huge factor on big bodies of water...calm and a little bit of ice/snow and it is froze over and then a slight breeze and it gets pushed open again....either way French bay is 6-8" of good ice but as you head out more so to the big body that is sketchy ice....myself I would stick in that area for now and if I was to adventure out I would be doing a lot of drilling/measuring....

Due to the wife calving early March going to be trying to get on before February. With the assumption the bays will be froze thicker is there any lake trout in the bays? We pull the trailer out and sleep in it.
