Ice conditions at Tongue River Marina are looking rough right now, with staff reporting on social media that shoreline ice has been melting during the day and barely refreezing overnight. As of yesterday, the edge ice was sitting at only about an inch thick—far from safe or reliable for anglers hoping to get out.
With fluctuating temperatures wreaking havoc on stability, it’s a reminder that late-season ice can change quickly and unpredictably. For now, marina officials are hoping for a stretch of colder weather to firm things up—but until then, caution is the name of the game.
