Friend and I went out this morning and did well
Entered the lake through private property with no issues.
Went out approx. 4 miles from shore,half way between West Sister and Water intake. maybe a little closer to West Sister
2 man limit in approx. 2 hrs
Wind was brutal today, being out of the N.E. there was no issues with cracks.
Ice was a solid 17"

on a side note if your planning on entering the lake through the channel,Wards cannel has open water

As long as the winds hold out of the north/north east ,I feel the ice will hold in the western basin for a few more days

Be Safe
