Henry's Lake ice?

[sdhuntandfish]

Hey fellas, I've itching to get on some ice in November, maybe before Thanksgiving. What are the chances that we'll see some ice on Henry's by then? I fished there 2 years ago on Thanksgiving day with about 4" of ice.

Anyway, hope all is well.

If the weather stays like it is , I think there will be safe ice a week before Thanksgiving . Last year we had safe ice real early.

I used to go camping there with the Boy Scouts back when I lived in the area. We used to go 2 to 3 weeks after the Spud harvest was over. Ice would usually be 4 to 5 inches by then. I know that times have changed but it is always worth investigating.

It was always fun to make a hole in a crystal clear area of the ice near the campground and pull some nice trout out of there.[cool]

Is the main lake frozen? Has anyone been by to check?

Thanks in advance.

I drove into the state Park this morning (Thursday) and the lake is still ice free. There is about 50 feet of thin ice in front of the ramp but that's it.

The road going in is very icy in spots and bare in other places. The main parking lot is snow covered but no problem.

Cold weather predicted all week.

I hate to keep bugging, but is there an update on the lake? I've been following the temps and it's been very cold for some time.

I drove past the hatchery at 3PM today and the temperature was
44 degrees but the good news is, the lake is 60% ice covered.
It was 14 degrees this morning so with the cold nights the ice is getting started.
