You’re certainly going to find fishable ice out here. Big pelican finished locking up last week. The bays were frozen longer than that so the access near zorbaz is most likely walkable right now, probably wheelerable, but I haven’t checked it yet. Been out of town for work. I’ll probably check it tonight when I get home. The middle bigger bay was open later so probably less ice there. Its gotta be close by now though.
The smaller lakes have been locked up for a long while now. It got cold and wasn’t too windy. The warm.days last week only helped to melt the snow and didnt affect the ice from what I see. Probably helped honestly just to remove the insulation.
Theres all of 8/9″ on the small lake I live on right now, and my guess is the other smaller lakes are similar.
I dont drive by Cormorant or Lida or Lizzie on the regular so I dont have too much info in those regards, maybe I’ll swing by today for funsies. Sauer locked up early this year so that’s probably good to go and I bet the shanty tiwn is already forming.
I have been New Town ND all week, so I know what I know from last sunday. Also Sakagawea is wide open much to my dismay.
I heard someone put a van in detroit but that was through the grapevine so I dont know for sure.
Dont plan on driving out as far as I know. Be safe and bring your picks, check the ice regularly especially on big water and you should be able to go out just about anywhere. Especially if you’re walking.
