    What is the ice like on the chain? Was thinking of coming up for the opener but I’m afraid there might be ice… Might have to wait a week or two.

    The chain will be ice free by the opener…I was just up there this weekend and the main river channels are opening up, it’s only a matter of time before the main lakes are pulled apart piece by piece and float down the channels..extended weather reports now show 60’s possibly next week, with a little wind the ice will come off even faster..

    Ice conditions on the Whitefish Chain have actually been improving over the past couple of weeks.

    Nope. The river channel is open from Horseshoe to Cedar Island under the Hwy 22 bridge. The Meth hole is completely open, but a lot of ice left in the bays and back water areas.

    Where is the meth hole? I see guys talking about it all the time but I don’t ice fish up there so I have no clue where it is.

    Becker is black, looks rotten, but still shore to shore.

    Main river channel is wide open, big chunks of honeycomb ice were breaking off the main lake sheets and floating down the river channels, i suspect all lakes will be ice free in a few days…
