A friend checked it this morning it's A solid 4 inches! Should be 6 inches by Saturday.

Would be careful at Wanahoo. Wouldn't surprise me if there is still a little open water or thin ice due to geese.

fished Wanahoo today. 7" good ice. Some open water in trees on south end.

jjb3434 · « **Reply #10 on:** Dec 20, 2016, 12:32 PM »

Any fishing reports?

Hey jigthepig, I don't know how to pm or reply to your question but ice in trees are good. Only open water I saw was far south end. Fishing that Sat stunk. No bites and saw only 1 fish in flasher.

That was a nasty cold day to be out - windy too!

Normally, I'd say that if you don't mark fish at Wanahoo at any particular hole for about 5 minutes (maybe less), you'd better be moving, but I'll give you a pass for this past Saturday.

Was out there yesterday and Holy wind!

There's a good 8-10" just south of the boat ramp. Everyone else was deep in the trees, so I assume its safe there. With it being bare ice, as soon as I flipped up my clam, I was drug like 10ft. Was probably pretty funny for anyone watching. Had to drill holes just to use the ice shavings to pack around my sled. Got a small 6" gill when I got there in the afternoon, then right before I was going to give up and go home, a solid 20min of aggressive crappie action around 8pm. Ended up icing 3, 9-10 inchers. Nothing on my tip-up.

Thinking about taking some young ones out Friday. Is the ice still safe at Wanahoo?

danporterjr · « **Reply #15 on:** Dec 30, 2016, 02:20 PM »

wondering if anyone has been to Summit lately to give an ice report? Thinking about heading up there in the morning but won't waste the drive if it isn't fishable. Its a decent drive for me.

Thanks

I know people who have been on all week. Not much details but you can get on. Shoreline sounded a little sketchy so be careful. Ice is 8+ once on.

Samuel8061 · « **Reply #17 on:** Jan 04, 2017, 09:46 AM »

Any update on wanahoo?

Flippin and Dippin · « **Reply #18 on:** Jan 04, 2017, 10:50 AM »

Open water in the trees on December 30th.

IceDoc · « **Reply #19 on:** Jan 04, 2017, 02:29 PM »

I drove by Tuesday morning 1/3 still open water in all the trees.

cardinalsfan · « **Reply #20 on:** Jan 04, 2017, 09:10 PM »

I was there Sunday and Monday and there was water standing on the ice in the trees. I checked it with my spud bar and it went right through with zero effort so there might have been an inch of ice under that water but probably less. About 10 feet to the west it was 6" thick still. There were a dozen or so people fishing just outside the trees on Sunday. Only 2 of us on Monday afternoon when I was there. Hopefully this cold spell will build the ice back up in the trees.

drove by around wanahoo yesterday the 4th and looked like 90% of the trees was open water I will try and make it by there today and see if it has froze up be careful out there lots of open spots just couple days ago....also there was a open spot just north of handicap dock on the west side of lake that ran all the way out to the trees

GRIZZ08 · « **Reply #22 on:** Jan 05, 2017, 12:38 PM »

just checked out wanahoo still lots of open water in the trees...south cut through trees in front of handicap dock is open all the way across...a few open spots in trees north of walkway

IceDoc · « **Reply #23 on:** Jan 06, 2017, 05:21 PM »

Fishing Wanahoo as I type. 6-9". Where water was open only about 1" of ice. Be careful. Water clarity isn't that great

I have not been up to Summit this year yet but am willing to bet that it is well locked up. Because of its northern location its usually one of the first lakes to lock up and last to ice-out.

Hey grizz. Been out to Wannahoo latley? Was wondering if the south trees are locked up yet.

IceDoc · « **Reply #26 on:** Jan 13, 2017, 08:56 AM »

Flippin and Dippin - I fished the south trees last saturday. We just had to walk in from the east side. From the west we would have had to cross the refroze weaker ice, but I would imagine most of that is pretty good now, but I don't know for sure.

GRIZZ08 · « **Reply #27 on:** Jan 13, 2017, 09:06 AM »

Flippin I was out there Monday and Tuesday did a little scouting towards the south end of the trees seemed like 4-5 inches of ice in the trees...we didn't venture to far into the trees because it was dark and couldn't see the ice very good but we did fish in the trees a little...I would think there would be good ice about everywhere out there but one should probably still check in the trees...10 inches plus outside the trees everywhere we fished

Flippin and Dippin · « **Reply #28 on:** Jan 25, 2017, 11:58 AM »

Anybody been on Wanahoo lately? Thinking about trying to get out Friday.

flyfishing4life · « **Reply #29 on:** Jan 26, 2017, 03:52 PM »

Was out at Wanahoo twice this week. There is some decent fishable ice left, but there are bad spots all over. We found multiple area that go from safe ice to 1-2 inches within a few feet. If you do go out I would not go into the trees at all and I would use a spud bar for every step.
