    On a normal year, it's open by now. It should be fully open come next weekend. This weekend is iffy for if it'll be open enough to get a boat in. I haven't checked on it so I can't say for sure, but so far none of the lakes I've looked at had any significant amount of open water.

    12 mile has some pigs in it. I fully believe that it has the best chance of any lake in the state to produce a new state record.

    The best lake in Iowa is Okoboji hands down. Nothing compares. I highly doubt 12 mile will be open by this weekend.

    I'd assume yes there was a lot of ice lost over the weekend considering Little River is now open

    Tyler you should have used Joels boat as an Ice breaker when you had the chance.
    May have speeded up the process for the rest of us.
