We were fishing in the Whortleberry Island area late last week and there was about 18" of ice in most places. We did notice that there was open water starting to show along the shore in spots, especially on south facing shores where there were rocks absorbing the sunlight. Areas near bubblers had also opened up considerably since the Rotary Derby weekend. The Hole in the Wall had open water all the way through. Without a major cold snap, I'd say those with earlier dates in the ice out guessing contest will be the winners.
