Anyone have any guesses how much longer lakes like upper and lower k and spray will be safe ro ice fish? I know it depends on weather but what's the thickness/condition right now? Anyone know?

Tons up at Spray. Almost thought I was gonna need an extension. Lot's of overflow right now. Be prepared for wet feet. You'll have another month at least, unless it gets really warm.
I havent seen 30 inches there all winter.......do you need an extension or no?
Is there that much more new ice now?
I was out there between Driftwood & Sparrowhawk 2 weeks ago & all my holes were 29" deep after kicking all the crusty snow & slush away down to bare ice. There could easily be 30" now. I used a hand auger with an adapter to run on my cordless drill & the chuck of my drill was in the water every time I broke through so I definitely need an extension next time I go !

Mine goes right down to the drill too...it has all winter actually come to think of it. I figured the ice was 20 ish. Maybe I underestimated the thickness of the ice. LOL

Are you going to make your own extension? I've been thinking about doing that myself. I'm running a Milwaukee m18 drill with an eskimo auger.
