Anyone else been out to check local ice conditions yet?
Here in NE Ohio I've checked two locations so far... Yesterday Hubbard Valley Park's lake had about 3" and was completely froze over. Today I ran over to Chippewa Lake and it was 2-3" in most spots near shore, and was frozen completely across. There may have been thicker (and thinner) spots, but I didn't want to venture out too far on my own today. 80% of the lake is crystal clear ice right now, but the south end is milky white... likely because it froze right before the big snow we got a week or so ago.
I may be doing some ice jigging this weekend.
