I drove up to Ririe to see how thick the ice is, very surprised at the conditions.

Thanks for taking the time to shoot the video and thanks also for sharing it with us all here. Even with all the cold and frigid weather we have been having, it doesn't surprise me that Ririe is still open water. Usually a January freeze, but, you never know!

Thanks for the vid! That was the conversation at Sportsmans today as well. My notes show Jan 5th last year with a bunch of open water in the center. Deep lakes freeze slowly but with these temps it will be sooner this year unless warmer temps slow it down. After that ring freezes between the lookout and the S. dam edge, the ice can move to the island in a weeks time! Keep your fingers crossed!

I will bet we are still two weeks ahead of last year. Maybe Christmas time.
