How much ice is on lakes? Hoping to get wheel house out next weekend

[blackice25]

It varies quite a bit, a few smaller lakes/bays (hunters bay, little swan, lady) froze up 3 weeks ago and have over a foot. I have not been on birch yet but I know it locked up the same day as many other lakes that all have 8 - 10+" now.

Thanks for the info. Hopefully get the permanent on mons this weekend have a cabin there. I know mons don't freeze quickly so might have to put on little swan or something. Thanks again

Went out on Wednesday this week to Big Birch on the southeast access. Fished out about 70 yards from shore or so and there was about 9". There was a small wheelhouse out toward the middle of the lake also. Just a heads up there is an ice heave starting already right in front of the access raised up about a foot or so. Not sure how much of a issue that will cause you but there has been plenty of fourwheeler traffic from that access. I havent been on Hunters bay yet so i can't shed some light on that side. Hope this helps.

Was out of the SE access last night, plenty of traffic through there. That heave might cause some problems for anyone trying to pull a house out, check it before you pull down the hill. I was a few hundred yards from access and had 9" of ice. Snowmobiles and wheelers were all over the lake.

Got permanent out on my lake had almost 9 inches of ice. Caught 2 walleye Saturday. Worriers about warm weather and if I should take house off?
