We finally have an ice sheet started on our end of the lake. Went out yesterday to check around the marina area and in front of the resort. We have 4″ about 50 ft out then it goes to 2″-3″ very quickly. This side of the lake is locked up with ice. In the Walker area as of yesterday Kabekona Bay is froze over, the access at Kabekona to the edge of the reeds is froze over same with Steamboat. The Main basin of Walker bay is still wide open and hopefully this snow helps cool that down a little quicker. Headquarters and Boy have been frozen for just over a week and 1/2 heard some reports of guys fishing up there this past weekend. I will post some pictures later today after I get in from shoveling we did not need the snow on this end of the lake, it looks like it is heavy enough to start sinking the ice and I am looking at a lot of black spots as I am writing this. Should be another week if this ice holds. Lots of the smaller lakes in the Longville and Walker area do have walkable ice and the guys that are fishing them are finding some good panfish action. Most reports on those little lakes are 4-6″ of ice. Please use caution on the lakes especially after the snow today and hopefully we get some good cold weather after this snow. Good luck out there.
