THIS REPORT JUST IN
Hey just reporting two heaves out on lost island that just turned up today, extremely unsafe for atv or pickup travel if not informed of them. Just figured id give a heads up!
I do not know where these are located just yet but sounds like one of them goes across the lake. We will update as we learn more.

The good news: it's 50° in February! The bad news: it's 50° in February. Ice fishing conditions are changing rapidly! ⚠️

Lack of snow cover, which typically slows winter ice melt even on slightly warmer days, means sunshine and warm temps will cause the ice to crack and contract, making ice conditions unpredictable and potentially dangerous.

Remember, no ice thickness is ever 100 percent safe. Use caution if heading out and keep plenty of distance from open water.

As usual, always check ice thickness frequently, and have a life jacket, throwable floatation and 50 feet of rope with your fishing equipment.
