You guys make me laugh every year!

I suppose one of these years I'll be wrong but until that time I'll continue to say I'm 100% sure the lakes will be open.

The following is from a similar thread last year and if I went back to previous years it would be the same story. The lakes went from 14" of ice to open in six days.

Chae Dolsen told me on friday they still had 14 inches of ice. It will take wind ,rain and temps in the 50's to open up all the lakes around there.

I'm pretty confident they'll open up. I just want to see HOW early! I checked their 10-day, and almost every day is above freezing. Some days 50 or just under with many days of rain. Woo-Hoo! Man, I need to cast…

I would love to be wrong and I wish they would move the date to the last weekend of March or first weekend of April like it was years ago.

This will be close… the rain is helping but the forcasted temps aren't looking good.

We are losing ice SUPER fast here on Klinger Lake. Ice was close to 20" at one point.

About 100 yards around shore is thawed. Maybe more by now.

I keep checking that cam every day! Which lake is first to lose ice every year? Have you talked to Chae or Ice very recently?

Tippy will be the last to open. Webster will be first because there's so much moving water.

No, I haven't talked to anyone down there.

Hmmm… it now shows 3/16-3/22. It must update automagically.

Are my eyes deceiving me, or is there a bunch of open water? Cool 😀

Yes, that looks like about 100 yards. That camera is on the north side of the lake and I'm guessing the S. side is still iced. If Tippy looks like that Webby is probably getting close.

Even if the lakes are close the forcast for next Wed and Thur will open them.
