Pressure ridge-Chisago lake-BE CAREFUL!

[Guest]

I was out today on the south end of Chisago lake,first in the main bay, then walked over towards the eagles nest area. A friend and I fished there for about an hour. About 30-40 yards to the north of our portable was a pressure ridge/heave that goes across the channel, at the eagles nest. You folks that have fished there already know where this is. That heave started to open up while we were sitting there fishing. The ice was cracking every 15 seconds,and the water started to slosh out on the ice on either side of this heave.The point is if you are going to travel in this area,especially at night, be careful!The warm weather today opened up that pressure ridge right before my eyes.Yikes!

Rman,

FishingMinnesota thanks you for the report. That's as valuable as any fishing report.
