Most of the lakes up here have some ice, but it is just a skim to 1 inch in most places. They say we have some 40s and possible rain toward the first of the week so I think it will still be a while. Maybe a couple of weeks. I am in Grayling area right now, maybe lakes in the Fletchers are a little more solid but I doubt it. As soon as I here it is safe and can schedule a day you know I will be there.
It is not about the equipment you have to use,
It is about how you use the equipment you have. :D
