I visited Houghton Lake this morning to checkout the ice conditions around the lake. The West side of Houghton has open water in mud bay and a few spots out further NW. The Heights has open water along shore a few hundred yard wide. The south shore is frozen and it looks like a few people have fished the shore line. East Bay is frozen and had a few fishermen out in the wind and snow. I talked with two fishermen and they reported up to six inches of ice in areas, but noted that they found a few thin spots with less then three inches of ice. I made a trip over to Five Lakes in Clare and found open water and thin shore ice.
