Ice fishing safe ice lakes

[Eyesofthewoods]

Figured it might be a good and safe thing to start this thread as the cold snap is here and good ice is just around the corner.

 I’m going to share where/when and how thick of ice I’ve found over the next few weeks.  As outdoorsmen I think it’s a good practice to alert fellow fishermen to the ice conditions.  Anyone else please feel free as well.  Dows bait shop has daily thickness checks too FIY can always call Lori there and they will tell you the conditions.
 

had a good year last year and got out way more then expected.  I’m hoping to get out 2/3 times this year with the new baby. I’m open to joining some people or people joining me.  Good luck to all and be safe!

 

up by me in Roxbury the state park will be frozen early as well as Tilcon, budd lake and most of the sussex lakes(cranberry,aeroflex,etc)

Great idea! Thank you. Going to start getting my gear ready. Looks like it’s going to happen this year.

Aeroflex had zero ice yesterday. Looking out over Cranberry lake and still open water in middle. Needs another week the artic blast is coming

I just saw a guy in front of the boat launch on Cranberry lake ice fishing this afternoon.
Unreal.

Any updates? Anyone see ice anglers out?

I was thinking the same. I would assume the smaller shallow lakes should be fishable by Sunday?

me and walking on ice, do not get along.

I just checked some of the northern lakes...none of the ice looked safe.

There are a few people out on Budd Lake right now.
