Yep I’m hearing the same in Vilas 20 inches of ice on the larger lakes. Spectacle where I live is receding on the north shore with southern exposure and that’s it and we are about a 200 acre lake. It’s warm but lake ice is hanging in there. There won’t be much of a fishing opener on Saturday no piers, no lifts equal no boats. But it’s warm.
Yeah that would be my intention too with 50/50 raffles for non profit organizations snowmobile clubs,waterski show clubs need the dough. This happens quite a bit with clubs I have been active with and many people have good hearts regarding raffles.
