I was at Fay's this weekend and they are furiously getting boats in the water. There was a little thin ice in Smith's cove, but all of the docks were very clear. I just scheduled my new boat launch to happen this Saturday. I am so excited.

I think Saturday should be OK, but heed Island Girl's warnings - much debris in the lake - takes a couple of good windy days and considerate boaters to clean it up.
Water temp is 38, 40 is the key - usually shortly after the water gets to 40 ice is out. With mid to high 60s toward the middle of the week and a good northwest wind on Thursday - me thinks Friday is the day.
