If anything it will be the shoreline that cancels ur trip, I measured nothing less than 10.5" of ice in the south end of cooks where I was Sunday to Tuesday

Was out on Cooks Bay at Gilford today - sun was shining, 11" of ice and lots of nice perch (they were all smaller though so we released them). Shoreline seemed to be okay - was a pressure crack but it wasn't too bad. Lots of people out enjoying the beautiful day! Excited to go back again - Cooks Bay is a great spot - Cheers

Hi everyone,
planning on going out tomorrow morning from Gilford. just wondering on two things, A) shore line conditions and B) is the parking lot open and available to use on Gilford road. Will be my first time on Cooks bay tomorrow hopefully if the shore line is a go.
any updates would be greatly appreciated.
Tight Lines and good luck everyone!!

Was out today. Plan was to go out 89 with the atv but there was a 3 to 4' high wall. Went over to gilford rd and didn't really think I was going to make that either. Peter gave me the "u can do it" that I needed. Glad i gave it a go because the walk out would have been crappy with the 3" of water on the ice. So there was a small area to access the lake with an atv but it was breaking up by 3pm when I left. I'm not sure how long it's going to last if the cold doesn't come back. Thx Peter. Was funny when u drill a hole it turns into a toilet bowl and then it grows in width during the day. Good luck everyone and be safe. Look out for old holes tomorrow. Still lots of ice from what I saw. Yes parking lot is open

Still lots of fun.

I don't know. I saw 89 early in the morning. It was a wall as far as I could see. I would say u would have better luck walking out of gilford. I thinks it's going to be anyone's guess as to what it looks like tomorrow. Maybe someone that stayed later than me wIll post something for u.

Id say today more the 90% of the water that was there is now gone , ice fishing today should be relatively easy other then getting on and off the ice at the shore line . Have a great time out there but watch were you step..
