Ice fishing good in some locations

By Bill Bartusek

Snow and cold weather have again dominated the weather for area sportsman. The snow just keeps coming lately and that really is hampering ice conditions locally. The thick snow is insulating the ice and slowing down the process of making ice.

Anglers are still finding enough ice to get out to do some fishing. For the most part success has been pretty good for those that get out to the areas that hold fish. Ice conditions vary throughout the state. In the northern half of the state there is quite a bit of ice.
