Open water?

[Allen]

Ok, so this isn't necessarily for fishing, but I am curious about the amount of open water people are seeing across the state. In particular, I am looking for open water on prairie potholes, rivers, etc where the open spots are large enough for a helicopter to grab a drink of water for fighting wildfires.

TIA!

Went to fargo the other day and medina/ crystal springs lakes area you could see water around the edges but still looked frozen. I was also in dickinson and patterson lake was open.

While in Williston for the sport show last weekend, I heard the river had opened up through town. A good feeling considering we drove through the Ray and Tioga areas and got to see the remnants of last Octobers firey day. Yesterday's little rain shower and now todays wind really doesn't give a guy a great sense of hope for the spring season, or longer, that's for sure.

Yep, it's awfully dry out in the country for most of the state considering the time of year. There have been days with a number of fire starts, but thus far they have been able to control them.

Tschida was open for the most part this evening. Not much water period out that way.

I went fishing this afternoon and drove around finger drifts and a skim of water on top of 28'' of ice. There was maybe 1 or 2 inches of open water between shore and the ice. What a difference in climate just a few miles out of the hills.

There was a Suburban pulling a trailer on the ice on Ft Totten bay on Devils Lake this morning.

Jeezes I would think that ice has to be getting honey combed by now.
