Taken today from the state boat ramp in Sutton, we sighted a first ice fisherman of the season on Manchaug Pond!
Also a report came in this morning of 0 degree F temperatures over on the Ledgestone side of the lake. Good for ice-making!
As the ice forms, the lake is also making its loud "whale" sounds!
Please be cautious! Consult the following link from MassWILDLIFE Division of Fisheries and Wildlife on Ice Strength & Safety Tips.
