The ice is melting and there's no snow cover. That really all I have for ya. I doubt anyone is still ice fishing. Without checking it out myself I'm assuming the ice that remains is not safe and you'll have to wait and use the boats if you wanna fish inland.

There is still alot of ice, but as of yesterday there was about a foot of slush on Farm lake. Saw a few guys out crappie fishing with 4 wheelers. The ice is still tight to the shore on most lakes, but with warm temps and some rain we hope it goes quickly

Today, Burntside had about 21 inches of ice.

The 1st six inches are very soft, and the 15 inches under that aren't much better.

The auger went through it in about 6-8 seconds.

You have anywhere from 3-6 inches of slush and water on top of the ice.
