Forest Lake had some skim ice, but was spotty. I'm sure it's all gone by now.
Heard that we could get back into the 40's next week.

I'll say, walkable ice 12/4/08...

Checked the channel today only about 3/4 inch of ice and was cracking to beat *%@% when I walked on it. Little Green about an inch and same with the cracking. And I did not go out to see how much ice the 3 guys on South Center were fish on? Going to need a few more cold nights.

insane, its not worth risking your life for a few fish, people need to wait at least 2 more weeks. Whatever floats your boat i guess
