| I live on a small lake that is now thawing out. I live on a hill and can see spots where it appears that the ice is thawing the fastest. I won't bother trying to describe the lake bottom, except that there are a couple distinct basins up to 50' deep but I guess most of the water is is around 20' deep.
Do you suppose that these spots are where the ice is being hit from below by a current of warmer water?
And..
Do you think that springs are structure worthy of consideration when planning an approach?
Thanks | |

If you like big pike and there are big pike in that water, those springs will be where you want to be this summer. I have a couple lakes up here where I marked the springs that way, and when in that area even the surface water temps can be quite a bit lower. My experience, anyway. | |

Location: New Brighton, MN | I am noticing a similar situation on a lake I often fish. Is this a likely indicator of a spring? There are 2 places on the North bay where it has thawed, and now there are geese/ducks swimming around yet there are still trucks driving on the lake. Is it just shallow water thawing first, or a spring? These 2 spots are quite shallow and weedy. Other shallow similar spots have not thawed, so it got my attention. | |
