    Open Water

    Anyone else hearing any reports of open water? I’m hearing Manawa is nearly 100% open.

    This is a small pond in sw Iowa tonight after work. It will freeze back over it the next few days. But I’m thinking I’ll be on the water 2/26 possibly!! It is very close!!

    I made a quick scouting run after work tonight and all the farm ponds are open that I saw. Lake icaria is open. The lake by Corning is open. Viking is still 100% ice covered. I’m guessing everything will be skimmed over by Saturday with the big cold front coming later this week. Sunday is nicer but I’m not sure that will be a long enough warming trend to open things up. Wish I didn’t have to work but that’s how it is for a working man Lol. I’ll be out ASAP!!

    Very much appreciate your report. Thank you! In the same boat here, first chance I get at open water when I’m not working, I’m there
