With Webster being so small and mostly shallow, it will take some time to get that puppy to open up.

Pray for the WIND and RAIN gods.....

I was out on Tippy today and it was 98% open. Webster still has about 95% ice still on it. I will check tomorrow and let everyone know.

I live on the Barbee Chain of Lakes here in North Webster. I am looking at Sawmill Lake right now and it is about 50% open. I will run into town later and check out Webster. I know there was a guy/idiot out on Webster yesterday breaking through the ice with a very nice Lund Mr. Pike. I don't know if it helped any or not but will let you know.

Vince,

How about the rest of the Barbee Chain?

I'm "hearing" that Little Barbee, Big Barbee and Irish are open. How about the channel to and from Little to Big Barbee?

Kuhn?

Kuhn launch open?

I am not sure about the rest of the chain but sawmill is 80% open now. I am sorry to say that Webster still has ice over most of the lake except for the edges and a few small holes.

Way to go, Bob! Don Slagle, Todd Williams and I were thinking about you being out all day Saturday while we were at the musky show. Wishing we didn't have our boats put away yet.
Great job!
