Ice Update:
South Fork is almost entirely frozen over, with a relatively thin "skin" of ice, measuring 1-2 inches at its thickest points. At this time, the lake is NOT considered safe for ice fishing. There also does not appear to be any spots along the shore currently for open water fishing access.
With forecasted highs above freezing, but cold temps at night, we will monitor the ice conditions and provide an update at the end of the week as to any changes. Again, though ice is building, it is NOT considered safe for travel of any kind. Please recreate responsibly.
