Landed a beautiful 22" 4lb. Salmon yesterday just off Welch. Launched from Ellacoya.

At 8 am today Lily pond was still 80 to 90% ice albeit very dark in color. There should be a lot less at the end of the day.

I don't know about official ice out by the 13th. While large stretches of the Borads are wide open. Alton Bay is still covered in ice the before the gazebo and that sheet ice has to clear for The Mount to reach AB. Wolfboro also looks locked up as well as the view from Weirs...locking in merideth. I'm sure at least one of those bays will still be locked in...possibly even Center Harbor

I agree, the 13th is pretty optimistic. Lily Pond is historically a solid indicator, and someone already updated on that situation.

Water @ 11 ft @ Trexlers/Quayside hit 40 today. Thats gonna start rising through the water column and do serious damage to the ice.

All open water from Smith Point to south side of Rattlesnake except in the 2 corners on either side of the "thumb". Cannot see the landing but it was almost out Tuesday so with the wind today should be clear by weekend
