Friday, December 16th, we are re-opening the ice access out of The Red Door to walking ONLY, for the coming weekend.
The open water from yesterday is now skimmed over. The open area, out about as far as the in close mudlfats (East Flat,Weimer Flat, Bombeck Flat ,Resort Flat, Matton Flat and Myr Mar Flat) must all be off limits for any travel for the next few days--at least. That ice, now only hours old, is and will be a for a few days, is not thick enough for walking or ATV's.
For that reason, we will allow walking access ONLY. Assuming no one will attempt to walk to the flats.....so be fore-warned here.
The ice is just fine between shore, in both directions for at least a mile, and 27ft. of water. So walking to any and all shoreline related fishing grounds should be just fine. No snow on the ice makes for easy hiking and pulling gear out by hand.
We will update things on a per need basis in the next day or two....THANKS for everyone's understanding and cooperation.
