The weather looks great for making ice. NW 15-25 is a little strong but with highs only in the Mid 20's all week followed with single digits every night we'll be making ice fast. The weekend forecast is single digits day and night sat & sun.. Looks like the standard start off Cawtaba S.P. & Camp Perry will be the first runs but it's hard not to go to my spot off Crane Creek/ Magee marsh. The only problem with Crane creek will be the current and whether it freezes the current closed with safe ice?

Good Luck and Good Fishing, but remember the floe.

Be careful and don't fish alone to start the season
