Nothing yet on northern Lake Champlain. Getting colder this week and I expect by the weekend to be at it for the season.

Getting colder and colder here. Got done to the low teens last night.

First day out on Northern Lake Champlain. We had 5" of good ice on a shallow bay and got about 30 pounds of sunnies in about 3 hours.

My local lake is still about 15% open. What ice there is, is much too thin to go on. Tonight should be cold enough to freeze the open water but then they are calling for a few warmer days. Not much chance of safe ice soon.
