The Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) still does not recommend ice-fishing at Volga Lake.

According to the DNR, “The edges are thin. Rain and rising river levels will create variable ice conditions. Use extreme caution as conditions can change fast. Ice depths are highly variable.”

 Lake Meyer has ice three to five inches thick, but extreme caution is urged. Edges may be soft; check ice depths often, especially near springs.
