Well, fall is upon us and most ice fishermen are beginning to feel the pending season is near. I predict first ice will arrive Dec. 19. When do you think we'll have fishable ice?

we are predicted to have an extremely cold winter....not a bunch of snow but colldddd weather. Which would be awesome if it happens....so im guessing "safe" ice....will be roughly around december 19th. Probably only 3" of ice with terrible edges lol. Spud bar anyone? lol
