Belle

Well the wind kept me from going out today, didnt feel like chasing the portable across the ice. Want to go to Belle tomorrow on the north side in the deep water, any one been out there and know the ice conditions, I would think after tonight it should be at least walkable? thanks

I have seen a house out in front of the campground the past few days, but that is the only action I've seen on Belle. No one out on the N end. Ice by the fishtrap doesn't look too good with a good sized heave starting to form a few yards off shore.

I haven't been out there yet, but from my experience Belle has been one of the last to put out safe ice. I can't imagine it being much longer if there's safe ice on the smaller lakes already.

Went out yesterday, but the wind made it pretty tough, I left within a hour of setting up, so I cant tell you about the bite, but there was 4-5 inches of ice out from the landing. I set up probably 100 yds or more from the landing on the East side. There was a portable smack dab in the middle of the lake when I was out there, so there must be ice out there too.

Lindy - There are quite a few houses out now on Belle on N end.
