If anyone can give an ice report in the Belknap Point, Lockes Island, Welch Island triangle area it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!

Add in around Rattlesnake and you have a great update request.

Dan,

I've been fishing off Belknap Point and half way from there out to Welch and all the way over to Lockes there is plenty of Ice. There has been a lot of sled traffic between glendale and Diamond Island. I'd say you'd be safe walking or riding a sled out to your side of Welch.

The last time I was out there was a week ago today and at that point I had a consistent 6". I would say the ice has built steadily since then and with the incoming cold temps., I'd say there will be close to a foot or more by this time next week.

has anyone been out there lately? I heard as of monday there was still a 3" layer of water under the snow. I'm hoping the cold was enough to freeze solid.

Hi
I also have heard that Lake Winni, and maybe others, the ice is layered: So, from top going down, it's snow, ice, water, ice. The snow can insulate the ice, evidently.

I was on Paugus Bay from Burger King following corridor 15. The slush had frozen solid and made for a rough ride. I would imagine that would be true anywhere there was slush. Todays warmer temps may have changed everything though.
