Haven't fished it yet but I checked on the ice yesterday, back sets have 6-8" black ice with very little snow covering. Shoreline seemed firm, someone had a wheeler on the ice. Main lake was a little sketchy. I spudded out from the beach about 5-15', seemed firm. Started drilling a hole and after about 2 inches the ice started to crack. I just packed up and got off quick. Hope this helps!

thanks! kids are a little skid dish about thin ice, if you know what i mean, they driven me crazy to go out but wanna be sure its all good!

You will be OK on the backside, main lake is not for me to say i havent drilled it and it looked really shady last sunday... I wish it was safe !!! but , IMO the main lake is at best borderline, Backside however is good ice.. As said solid 6-8 everywhere out into the chanel...

Just click the link that was posted above. Monday morning is going to be very cold for young people. Tuesday looks much better. Just food for thought.

Going to visit a friend in Rome next weekend. I'd like to introduce him to ice fishing. I usually fish tip ups for pike. Anyone recently visit Delta Lake? Any tips for access and what fish to target?

ice brain · « **Reply #11 on:** Feb 17, 2016, 09:31 PM »

Anyone go out today?

ice brain · « **Reply #12 on:** Feb 17, 2016, 09:33 PM »

I've been going on the back sets along the camp grounds. Got a 31" northern about 10 feet from shore. Plus plenty of perch.

Jaycr3183 · « **Reply #13 on:** Feb 17, 2016, 11:36 PM »

Any size to the perch??

Cold Inside · « **Reply #14 on:** Feb 18, 2016, 10:28 AM »

Thanks. Where are the common access points and parking on Delta? I only pull a sled.

I'm coming to the ice fishing derby this weekend and wondering how many entrants they usually get? And what kind of prizes do they have for the kids?

all sorts of prizes, its a pretty good derby, last year some augers were raffled off and shelters i believe.. 100 bucks for every biggest fish...Kids all get something.. Its a good time..If you dont get in it, you are missing out...

Ill be giving a pre derby report tomorrow, hoping the lake isnt all kicked up but we will see, gonna check things out mid afternoon tomorrow

deadsmelthead · « **Reply #18 on:** Feb 19, 2016, 04:31 PM »

Drilled about 20 holes alll over the lake out tawrd the chanel near shore the water was stained pretty good... couldnt see the jig after it got a foot down, went out to the middle of the lake just to see what it was like and it was much better clarity
... Should be abgreat day tommorrow...

Jaycr3183 · « **Reply #19 on:** Feb 22, 2016, 07:25 AM »

Jaycr3183 · « **Reply #20 on:** Feb 26, 2016, 08:20 PM »

deadsmelthead · « **Reply #21 on:** Feb 26, 2016, 08:46 PM »

Jaycr3183 · « **Reply #22 on:** Feb 26, 2016, 09:07 PM »

Yes. Without a doubt. When it's like that, the whole lake shuts down. DSH knows better than anyone. What are you looking to target?

Jaycr3183 · « **Reply #24 on:** Feb 27, 2016, 07:22 AM »

Mostly panfish. It's the old mans first time ice fishing. So I wanna take him somewhere. Any suggestions!?

trapper2000 · « **Reply #25 on:** Feb 27, 2016, 07:41 AM »

sandy pond you'll catch fish for sure not a bad walk and theres good ice

Jaycr3183 · « **Reply #26 on:** Feb 27, 2016, 08:13 AM »

Never fished sandy. Or wouldn't even know where to start. I will do some research. Thanks trapper
