I can't wait till the hard water arrives!
Going to be a cold snowy winter and hopefully the lake freezes up like it used too.

I have so much to do before I can even dream about ice fishing it's crazy. Heck, duck hunting starts in a few weeks and I haven't even got the boat out yet :o

What ice was there last year I wouldn't wanna be on. The very back of town farm had good ice and some good pike fishin but it got pretty sketchy out over the deeper water. 15+ft. At least when I was on it. W
Converse didn't really frezze at all

Parking for town farm bay can be a bit of a chore.
Years ago you could park at the camps but it's all posted now. If you know someone with a camp you're good to go.
If you don't you'll have to park down by the end of the point and walk around the corner for access.
Four wheeler would be handy if the ice is good.
