From Lincoln Park in Gilford, one can see a large area of open water just to the south of Welch Island that looks to extend south to Diamond and Rattlesnake Islands.

Yesterday, on Jan 21, saw four pickup trucks parked out on the ice with people nearby ice fishing, spread over a wide distance, in Center Harbor Bay.

The weather forecast for the next five days is looking 30-40's with wintry mix changing to rain?
So FLL, what's the latest? Guessing the recent nor'easter and warm temps broke things up further. How much open water now? Cattle Landing must be wide open.

Getting worried that access to Mink Island will be a problem -- particularly with the derby fast approaching.
