After shaky start, ice now has some stability
By Bill Bartusek
We have all settled in after the holidays, and so have the area ice anglers. After a shaky start, the ice on area lakes has some stability.
Unlikely as it may seem, the warm weather a week or so ago made things better - though it brought back memories of bad ice a few years ago. The lakes refroze, and ice started to thicken up.
I traveled over a few area lakes and found about 16 inches of pretty good ice.
