RH. 56 Report post Posted December 24, 2015 Is all this rain going to wreck the ice ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnZ 65 Report post Posted December 24, 2015 Possibly, surely not going to make it any better in the short term. I could be wrong though... I'm still new to this ice fishing stuff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scandiman 114 Report post Posted December 24, 2015 Won't wreck the ice persay, melt the snow for sure and possibly lose a little ice thickness but forecast is calling for colder temps for next couple weeks which will build the ice up fast out there.
