Ice conditions on Francis,Rays, and Elysian

[Fish'n guy]

I was out goose hunting on a lake yesterday and walked across the whole thing although it had maybe 3 inches max it was good hard ice. I was just wondering waht lakes like the west ends Francis Rays and elysian have on them now. I would think that these would be the first to have safe ice on them because of their shallow like bottom in certain areas. I remeber last year that those lakes were being fished before tthe others. Thanks to any help and GOOD FISHIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You shouldn't worry too much about the conditions on Elysian, it suffered winter kill last year. By the way it's still wide open.
