I've been keeping a bit of an eye on PV with he colder temps of late. Most of the lake is capped. The few holes I drilled show 2.5"- 3" of ice. Maybe half that is good ice on the bottom with the other half cloudy ice on top. Saw 1 tent on the ice but it was very close to shore on the far east end between Browning and cemetery. Also saw that some crazy fool had been out on the ice with a snowmobile off the port ramp. Looked like they'd broken through in multiple locations but were going fast enough to keep on top the ice and stay out of serious trouble. Not sure I'd feel terribly safe wandering out too far just yet. I am hoping with these cold nights the rest this week we see another inch or two of ice form up. Sure would like another chance to bring home some perch or crappie before the ice is gone again.
