I drove up to Porcupine to catch a few Kokes this morning. There is open water for about 6 feet and then only about 1" of ice for about 15' (about as far as I can throw a head sized rock.)
Not wanting to waste a 4 hour round trip I drove up to Echo and fished a couple hundred feet out from the boat ramp. In about an hour I caught about 50 5" to 6" perch in 30' of water. I moved around a lot but couldn't find the "8 to 10 inch" perch that have been reported.
You will need to take a plank about 8 or 10 foot long to get on the ice. The ice looks pretty scary but was about 8" thick out about 15'
If the weather dosen't cool down there won't be any ice anywhere to fish, and then not water to fish in next summer
