AuGres River, Point LookOut, Ice-Report

The ice is going out like a lamb this year.  It’s just kind of melting away,  and slowly floating downstream.  No crushed docks, or floating tree’s,  no late night grinding of huge ice flows.    I haven’t been here long enough to answer why,  but it could be because there’s no where for a fast ice rush to go.  The Bay is still frozen over!  From the mouth of the river,  I could see a couple of small sections of open water,  but mostly it was ice.  And even though we lost an ice fisherman yesterday a little south of here,  there are still a lot of folks out there in shanties.  They do seem to be staying closer to shore though.   Personally,  a pan of Walleye just ain’t enough to get this one out on that ice.
