| Just put the extension on my auger...can't remember the last time I needed an extension on Winnebago.
I ice fished on April 8th a few years ago, but we may make it to mid April this year.

Location: Darboy USA | 27" where we are spearing this year, gonna be a late one this year, I agree. Might have to drill some holes on Poygan where I was trolling last April! |

| Bago has lost 1" of ice according to my drilling of 20 holes yesterday (3/16). Roughly at about 29" now.
Landings and bridges were in good shape from what I saw.
The only snow left on the ice is the berms from the plowed roads.

Location: Menasha, WI | There hasn't even been any retreat of the ice at the outlets in Neenah and Menasha. With the gates open at Menasha Dam, the current usually starts to eat the ice away pretty fast but there's been very little erosion so far.
Looks like I'll be ice fishing on vacation next week...

| Still 27" of ice in river channel on BDM. Has a soft layer in the middle, but still in good shape. Fox in Omro looks pretty solid yet also. |

Location: Rhinelander | Crazy. Snowed to beat the band here today, was it rain over there, or snow? |

Location: Menasha, WI | It poured rain here from 5pm-well past midnight. Should loosen the Wolf and the lake up pretty well. There are now 4 gates open at both the Menasha and Neenah dams. The northwest corner of Bago is starting to open up noticeably wider each day. |

Location: Menasha, WI | Still some ice in some bays and a few floes on the main lake but from my vantage point on the west side driving from Menasha to Oshkosh, I'd say she's 95% ice free. It's possible last night's gale force winds blew everything southeast and there's still ice on the east side.
