This is my kind of ice-fishing Fordo! 61 F no gloves.
Bro and I wanted to do some hiking/ fishing and this was just the place. Caught more perch today than I have in 2 years. Most were 7-8" managed several in the 9" range though. Got 1 browny @ 15" on a gold kasty. Got some solid walking in with the packs on. Gorgeous freekin' day no wind to speak of till 2PM or so. Ice thickness ranged from 9-12 on the lake with 24" at the inlet. Extremely soft ice when leaving at 4PM with large bergs breaking up along the points.
We were the only 2 on the lake.8)
Watched a flailer below the dam put a whoopin' on a 5" brooky!
The methane pockets were fun. One area was like a minefield with them. We fished thru them and caught lots of perch. Geez didnt even need an auger-
