I haven't found much ice that I really like yet. But I figure most places should be good after this weekend's arctic air mass arrives. |

The bite is slowing, but we've got great ice on Pelican in Grant Co. If you ever want to make the drive, I've got use of a house.
Have heard the slush is bad most other places though. |

Location: minocqua, wi. | ice conditions in northern wisconsin are fantastic but without a slow-down on the deep freeze we'll have some problems with freeze-out on some lakes with a winter kill.
fishing up to the last cold snap was incredible with some pigs hitting the ice and then it shut down. hoping tonight and tomorrow's warm-up will open a window again before it all slams shut on Sunday-Monday.
a couple of the gooder ones we caught … there were a few more bigguns that came through the hole for a photo op too. ;0)
be sure to join the discussions on icefishingfirst.com … small group but lots of quality topics and information shared in there.

Location: Hayward, WI | Jon those are some pigs! Long northerns and what a build on that walleye!
We're at 5 above in Hayward right now but 15-25mph wind. Started at -5 at 6:00 this morning. I had back to back -30 on my way to work each side of New Years.
I haven't been out but this wind is going to be brutal. I'd much rather have -25 and calm than +15 and howling.
The ice is ok in the Hayward area. The bigger deep lakes are doing quite well on ice at about 15 solid, dry inches. They had almost 0 ice when we got 2 days of heavy snow, and what ice there was must have melted. The lakes that had 3-5 inches just prior to the big snow have been full of slush for a couple weeks now. Got my ATV stuck on one and if there hadn't been 2 of us I'm not sure how I'd have made it out of that mess. I imagine with these 2 cold snaps the slush should be firming up at least enough for an ATV to stay on top of it, but there's going to be about 8 inches of slush/junk ice on top of the good stuff all year on some lakes.
