ICE CONDITIONS AT CRAWFORD!!!
The ice is very unpredictable! Newly formed ice varies 2-6 inches with very thin spots everywhere. At least a 10 foot plank is needed to get on and off at the dam or later in the day. The ONLY area currently being fished is on the north side of the Peninsula in the cove area. Please be careful and test the ice as you go. Crawford has had very unusual ice season this year, due to thawing and refreezing.
