The lake had 20 inches of ice with a foot or so of snow on it as of last week. After this week there will be an additional 3 to 5 feet of new snow on top of that. Ice fishing only for die-hards and the young at heart. The Caples Lake resort is open for lodging and cabin rentals. The restaurant is open now, but I would advise calling ahead to make reservations. Or to make sure their driveway is plowed.
