Our measurements from today were anywhere from 7-8” when accessing from the boat ramp. There are pretty large pressure ridges to avoid and pooling water on top of the ice from the warmer weather. We will be in the 50s for the coming week, so please exercise caution when out on the reservoir. We will measure again closer to the fishing derby Amy’s Bar is putting on Valentine’s Day weekend to give you a better idea as you head out. Be safe out there and stay warm!
