the ice is around 4-7 inches in most spots from what i have found, the ice is crab around the cattails, there is only around 1/2 to inch by the weeds, the good thing is that there are very few patches of weeds, and even if you fall through the cattails it is only 1/2 foot deep of water, but the cold has been getting it to make more ice, we will be fine, i would like to see us get together by feb, i want to get through the holidays and let the ice thiken up and then we should be good to go, anybody is welcome to come any time and ride the lake if you want, i work 1 week per month on the weekends.
