[#0000ff]Had a reason to be up in Ogden today so I did a driveby on Willard...with camera...no tackle.
North Marina: Marina completely ice-free except for a small area near shore around the private docks. Open around the channel mouth and out a hundred feet or so. Otherwise, ugly green ice over most of the lake still. Water level up about 18" from last fall.
South Marina: Water coming in over the baffles from the canal. Not as much as full flow runoff but should be enough to start bringing the level up. The inlet channel is open clear out past the opening, and maybe 100 yards beyond. But there is still an ice cap in the boat basin. However, it is starting to open around the bottom of the far north dike. Water level still below the bottom of the docks.
I'm thinking I could launch a float tube and get some close in fishing next week...at either marina. Might just go for it. No longer need an auger to launch.
