Season’s Greeting’s Everyone,

We went out today to access the ice after the warm stretch.   The water has all frozen but the crack that appeared two weeks ago is back again and is 2 feet wide and open.  We filled some areas of the crack with snow and slush and will see how it freeze’s over night.

On Wednesday, we will bridge the crack & go out with 4 wheelers to check the ice again in our territory.  If we do not find any more cracks or questionable ice, we may try to pull some rentals over the bridge.  We will see how that goes and decide on further pulling then.

One thing you need to be aware of that almost all of the snow on the ice melted so banking will be a challenge.  We will probably have to haul snow from shore for rentals.  This means we cannot bank private fish houses for what we normally charge.  It also means that banking houses will take two men away from pulling other private fish houses.  We may have to bank houses during the week, rather than on the weekend, when we have people waiting to have their houses pulled.  It will be a challenge and we will appreciate your patience.  We will do our best to get everybody out fishing and make everyone happy.  See you soon.

Dean & Renee

P.S.  Things to remember:  Fishing License, Shelter License, FH Reflectors, FH Key, Bait (we no longer sell minnows but will have wax worms), Important - turn off propane before being pulled.
