Winter has definitely arrived here in Northern Michigan. This has many ice fisherman gathering their gear. But don’t be fooled by the cold.
With the high winds followed by the heavy snowfall, most Northern Michigan lakes do not have safe ice. Chris Knaisel of Pilgrim’s Village in Cadillac says the snow insulates the ice and doesn’t allow it to freeze, and venturing out right now could be very dangerous.
