A fishing buddy's brother in law was out snowmaching 3 days ago from Robinson Loop out on the back lakes, Derks, Sevena, Tree, Elephant/Spirit lake as well as some of the ponds. He said the overflow was so bad you didn't dare slow down or stop or that was all she wrote. Snow was dropping out from under him everywhere he traveled on the ice. Been 40 degrees and either raining and melting or windy and melting just as it is today. Lakes are turning into a total mess. But there is usually good fishing right close to parking lots and public access points on most of the lakes, especially those on the Stocking List GreeceMonkey posted. HIP BOOTS or knee highs are no longer an option but mandatory. And Personal Floatation Devices are recommended for small children.
Kenai River ice in Soldotna is getting soft and sagging. I have a 10 foot wide slot of open running water along my bank in my backyard. Still another week straight of warm temperatures in the forecast. Seward going into "flood mode" today as another 4 inches of rain is pouring down on them.
