[catfish125]

Has anyone been to owldorado recently? Just wondering what the ice conditions would be like on there today.

im surprised they even let anybody fish there, with the vandalism in the past.......

Several members of "another Forum" helped clean up, do some repairs, and one member talked with his boss and they replaced the OWLDORADO sign with an OUTSTANDING metal sign.

Sometimes "giving back" is rewarded when "we" demonstrate that the slobs among us are an isolated few.

KARMA IS A VERY GOOD THING IF ITS GOOD KARMA AND MY HAT ALWAYS GOES OFF TOO THEM GUYS WHO HELPED OUT JUST TO DO A GOOD THING WHEN IT WASNT EVEN THEIRS...

Was on Owldorado today.

Ice at 11 a.m. was 6 inches thick. Three inches of shards, three inches of shaved. I could mark small fish under the hanging just under the ice. They would follow a light jig down, but spook on the first movement. This was both on the 8 foot flats and over the deeper water.

In the deeper water, you could occasionally bring a fish in and off the bottom with a jigging spoon, but they would only rise up, then drift away. Jigs and waxies did no better.

I got off when I went to check a tip up and saw the hole was opening up, and the ice was down to 3 inches. I walked gingerly back to my equipment and picked up shop. That was only about 2:30.

The lows aren't getting below freezing any time between now and the end of the month. After what I experienced on Holmes and Hedgefield yesterday, and Owldorado today, I would be very leery about going out any more around Lincoln.

I stopped out yesterday and it had some open spots.  Thanks for the link Daryl.
