Just got in from checking ice and staking roads. I found 6-9 inches of ice with the thinnest ice towards the very south end of our territory, south of Agate Bay Reef. Most of the ice is 8-9 inches and it is coming very well. This is not to say that there are no cracks. It is still early ice.
We marked Walleye Drive, Lake Street, and Outer Archers. We started on Perch Parkway and the South Road. We will allow 4 wheelers and snowmobiles (not much snow on the ice) on Saturday, baring any more cracks.
As always this is early ice so you must pay attention to changing conditions and use good judgement on the ice.
Be safe and hope for cold weather.
