This is from another thing I am a part of. This was taken on Sunday I believe. I haven't personally gone to check because I live in Des Moines but the comments from this picture prove its legit.

didn't check west ramp but looked at the north ramp after I left Moorland, didn't drill but it looks real thin and the wind out of the south looked like it was chipping away at it..... talked to a buddy who tried fishing it last night and he said he was sitting on 2.5" and felt the ice start moving when the first breeze started, stay safe!

How is moorland? Safe yet?

icyclone · « **Reply #7 on:** Jan 06, 2016, 09:29 AM »

The eastern half of it has about 6" on it, if you push west and cross the middle it supposedly goes down to 2.5" real quick, trout weren't biting while I was there but the little perch were welcoming

The last I knew, there weren't trout in brushy???

I hope this weather makes some ice, I checked on a local pond in central Iowa today, it did not look good

ncraun35 · « **Reply #18 on:** Jan 10, 2016, 01:07 AM »

Fishable by Monday??

jon1023 · « **Reply #19 on:** Jan 10, 2016, 12:04 PM »

off the south boat ramp i would guess is fishable walked out about 20-30 yards didnt check thickness but it looked fishable, also the shorline by the spillway not right in front of it, but on both sides didnt look bad at all either.

ncraun35 · « **Reply #20 on:** Jan 10, 2016, 12:56 PM »

Any tips for fishing brushy. Looking to spend the whole day there tomorrow. Would mind catching a couple eyes too

jon1023 · « **Reply #21 on:** Jan 10, 2016, 04:30 PM »

I cant really offer much help been fishing it for years, always seems like its hit or miss. I also might try somewhere off the south side tomo!

jon1023 · « **Reply #22 on:** Jan 11, 2016, 12:27 PM »

crouch2 · « **Reply #23 on:** Jan 11, 2016, 06:34 PM »

fish it today south end was slow went to the north end and did a lot better

redshackdistrict · « **Reply #24 on:** Jan 12, 2016, 12:48 PM »

How far south from north end can one make it? I remember last year it really varied in thickness the further south and west u went it was thin or open

Zammy23 · « **Reply #25 on:** Jan 12, 2016, 05:29 PM »

Looking to head up this weekend, any reports or tips are welcome. Also ice conditions would be nice! Thanks!

grizzwald660 · « **Reply #26 on:** Jan 13, 2016, 05:12 AM »

go to www.duncombegg.com then go on mikes fishing report. just like all early ice check as you go. but the fishing sounds good.

justin1234 · « **Reply #27 on:** Jan 14, 2016, 06:36 PM »

it probably needs a little more time. that being said, i bet there were 20 or more people by the north boat ramp, fishing on about 3 inches of ice. bluegill bite looked good though, quite a few decent fish on the ice.

jon1023 · « **Reply #28 on:** Jan 15, 2016, 03:17 PM »

3 inches? I was their last weekend on 7 some guys i know went to the southside they were on 8.5.

justin1234 · « **Reply #29 on:** Jan 15, 2016, 03:49 PM »

this looked like new ice just off the north boat ramp......there wasnt much. this is why its important to check the ice out good!!!
