  The least ice we found was 4", with most of it being between 4.5"–6.5". There are some areas with up to 7"–8", and stacked ice with even more. We have a boundary ¾ of a mile out marked with orange cones just past the Malone Island saddle. Our office opens Friday (12/5/25) morning at 6:00 A.M. for walk-out access only.

  We are now seeing 4-8" of ice in our walkout zone, with most of it being around 6".
  The walkout zone goes out to Mulyby's Island, where you will find Walleye, Pike, Perch and Bluegill. The nice thing is it's all less than 1/2 mile from our baitshop! We will be monitoring growth and will extend boundaries this weekend if possible.
  We just stocked our bait tanks and have Fatheads, Rainbows, Shiners, Small to Large Suckers, and Waxies. We will be open at 645 AM.
  There are areas to stay away from like bulrush, weeds, etc. Make sure to stop into our baitshop for bait, tackle, map, tips, and to sign up for our 1st FREE fishing contest of the year!
