The author went ice fishing at Kitch for two days and noticed that anyone weighing over 150 lbs was making the ice creak. They won't go on the ice until there is another cold night because some nights are warmer than a cold day. The area has had a very wet October, and on Friday, there was a lot of lagoon ice drifting around, which looks like it is mostly water again.

Observation: Went out ice fishing at the Kitch for the last two days. Anyone (weighing) over 150 lbs was making the ice creak. I won't go on it until we have another cold night - on some nights our nights are warmer than a cold day, it has been like that for the three or so falls. Like everywhere else, we have had a very wet October. On Friday when we got back we had a lot of lagoon ice drifting around, it looks like it is mostly water again. Toby Anungazuk, Jr.
