How is the ice coming along on the small lakes of the area? I was originally going to drive up north this weekend, but with the real cold night temps I'd rather stay closer to home. Might I see 7, 8, maybe even 9 inches by friday?

From what I am hearing....I would guess 7 at a minimum...

I just got off the phone with my cousin, as of 11 tonight he said theres just over 7 inches on chisago, right north of 83 in the bay.

It's getting to that bay now that stinks because that darn guard rail is put in............

I believe they put a couple spaces in the guard rail so people can walk thru. If I remember there might even be a place to drive a wheeler/sled thru...I don't have one so didn't pay much attention when I walked out a few times last year. I'm sure someone on here knows though.

I have permission to hunt all that woods on the east side of that bay I just park at the landowners place and walk out from there

last year there was a guy to the west of the guard rail that was letting people use his lake drive, letting people for a buck or two drive threw his yard and onto the ice from there instead of driving all the way into chisago and comeing down the lake.

You bow hunt deer out there or go for duck/geese? Many deer around there?

I have permision to hunt quite a few spots in the area. I only coon hunt that place.

Dckasten I havn't been coon hunting in years. If you ever want someone to walk around with you let me know. tigerbro1@hotmil.com

hey man anytime you want to get out (once the weather warms up) Me and two other guys hunt the area quite a bit. Ill shoot you an email.

I was on chisago today out from the A frame and had about 6 inches of ice. The ice was way loud so it was making good ice, and it was only 2 degrees when we got off the lake at 9ish tonight
