Upper Red Lake has around 2-3 inches of ice! We will have sleeper ice houses on shore for sleeping arrangements and portable fishing until we get 12 inches of ice the big shacks will go out. In the Meeker and Wright County areas lakes are locking up. Smaller lakes that have had protection from wind seem to be about 90% locked up with a inch of ice. Lake Washington south of Darwin looked to be mostly locked up with a few open spots. I expect most deeper lakes to start freezing over tonight. Next live fishing reports!
