First ice in SE Iowa.

Lake McBride south of Cedar Rapids has 6" of clear ice, surface a 7 or 8. Gusts to 30MPH and afternoon drizzle should make for a short but intense day.

Rolley,

Thanks for the post...

I don't know if we're ready to annex Iowa...

is that big area on Coralville Lake just west of 380 in similar condition?

If so, you have everybody's undivided attention...

The area that you noticed is only workable a couple times a year due to accessability issues, but reamins my favorite. Undulating ice, pressure ridges, stumps, mud islands, an occasional coyote, and miles of narrow backwater channels add up to a good day on the ice.
