massebesic lake in manchester is melting rather quickly the usuall areas ,,, the launch at clairs landing and most of the inlet streams are openning up already so it should be soon . and also most of the lake is getting dark so the ice is thinning out .. march 28 around here might be a good guess for smaller ponds around here or the river(merrimack) but i would say mid april as far as bigger bodies of water unless you like going all out titanic style
