Fremont Lake ice report (as of Saturday, Jan. 5, 2013): According to Dave Bell, the ice on Fremont is now solid and between 3 and 5 inches thick. There is no open water and the edges are frozen. "It is absolutely gorgeous up there right now. There are large sections of totally ‘froze clear’ ice interspersed with hoar frost covered areas. It is mostly smooth as glass. Last night we were on it and it was cracking and booming, back and forth and up and down the lake."
