We are making ice (again). There is still open water from Halfway creek past Marge’s island. This season has definitely been frustrating with a lot of people saying they don’t remember ice coming this late. It looks like we will be building fishable ice, its hard to say exactly when but I bet guys will start creeping out this weekend.

If your looking for good news the river is over 6 ft right now in La Crosse with the flow high for winter. This generally means that the fishing is good on the lake as the fish like to avoid higher flow this time of year.
