What have you been seeing for ice on the northern Wi lakes?
I have heard as much as 10" on some lakes in northern Wisconsin. At least 4-8" on most lakes and after this next cold run I would think all lakes are fine. Just need to add snow and survive the warm up being shown for after xmas.

Up to 8” on some lakes in MW area. Be advised that all lakes are different, some are shallow which have had more time to freeze and the deeper ones took longer to ice over. My advice, if you don’t see activity on a certain lake you may not want to be the first one on it.

best rule of thumb....NEVER trust ice fishermen.....we all know what they think 6 inches is...lol.......we are seeing 4 to7...with a couple reports of 8" in the Tomahawk area...but I'd be Leary of those numbers after how warm it was Saturday through Monday.
