    How's the ice looking?

    I should be back home in about a month and I'm excited to do some fishing of any kind. How does the ice look in the Omaha/Lincoln area right now? I considered taking a trip down to LOZ win I get back but I have to order and replace a steering cable on the TM first.

    Most lakes have some ice, with temps in the 40's over the last week smaller lakes now have a lot of open water. Long range forecast has a bunch of days in the upper 30's to 40's so I don't see the ice getting better.

    Sounds like I'll be getting home in time for it to be just like early ice season. Weird!

    I don't like ice fishing that much.
