The wind is making it worse. Went around twin to go hunting and it hasn't started freeIng

Yeah the wind even with these temps will keep it from freezing. But when you have a calm day on the water it will freeze over night. Somebody nearby tonight probably shot my deer. Real close. Probably missed my deer.

It was 6 degrees at my house this morning. I drove by upper Twin and it was still open water except at the boat ramp between the lakes and a few of the bays. Then I stopped by Round lake and it had a few spots iced over but was mostly open. Its going to be a while yet...

Yup, BlueDuck, it'll be a while. Minus one on a "recording" thermometer this morning, Brrrr lol

anybody know anything about walsh lake up next to sandpoint?

Bearsfan · « **Reply #1806 on:** Nov 14, 2014, 10:45 AM »

I used to fish it alot when I lived up there. Bass perch crappies and sunny's. Did manage to bring home some perch from time to time, although most were small.

Thanks for for info bearfan

Bearsfan · « **Reply #1808 on:** Nov 15, 2014, 09:08 PM »

That's usually the first to freeze.

Idahogator · « **Reply #1809 on:** Nov 15, 2014, 09:24 PM »

Yup, that and Round Lake at the State Park.

Zero here the last two mornings.

Skaters in/on the shallow bays of Lake Pend O'Reille.

Sure seems early.

Was at granite lake Friday and no ice started on it yet.

bullpine · « **Reply #1811 on:** Nov 16, 2014, 11:47 AM »

The lake waters were pretty warm this fall. Still in the high 40s and low 50s before all this cold. So there is some catch up going on out there.

I appreciate the welcome sir. I have very short work days this winter. That way I can go to as many areas as possible and report conditions.

icebomb · « **Reply #1818 on:** Nov 17, 2014, 04:46 PM »

I don't know what the fishing is like but I drove by the chain lakes today and Black Lake was mostly iced over. Someone had been throwing big rocks in it to check thickness but no one was on it.

muskyon46 · « **Reply #1819 on:** Nov 17, 2014, 06:57 PM »

You guys should start putting some of the lakes in this thread here

Idaho R&C board new lakes list

I've been adding some, but there are no more to list

Vashtgn · « **Reply #1820 on:** Nov 17, 2014, 09:18 PM »

Wolf lodge area is starting to show good ice in the shade. We really need the wind to lay down for a while, and maybe a few weeks at 0°f would be great.

bullpine · « **Reply #1821 on:** Nov 17, 2014, 09:36 PM »

Deer down. Ready for ice.

elkhuntinfool · « **Reply #1822 on:** Nov 18, 2014, 10:21 AM »

from everything I have been seeing in my travels looking for ducks and deer bull run lake is pretty much froze over except a small chunk in the middle rose lake still had quite abit of open water on thursday. The slough out by cataldo was frozen from what I could tell I guess it may be time to pull the ice fishing gear out and start getting it ready. If only I could find a deer

DR0CK · « **Reply #1823 on:** Nov 18, 2014, 12:05 PM »

I was feeling the same way elkhuntinfool and then up pops this little buck with my name written all over it. He practically came running right up to me and said shoot me. Anyhow you have the best time of the deer season ahead of you (Thankgiving time is awesome!) and as long as you have a tag in your pocket you can still shoot the biggest deer in the woods.

Anybody know what benewah, Chatcolet, round look like right now? Askin more for the sake of ducks than ice fishing ill have to admit.

Idahogator · « **Reply #1828 on:** Nov 19, 2014, 11:33 PM »

Yup, don't want any ducks to drown. LOL I'll go out to Round Lake tomorrow and report here, F_L.

Idahogator · « **Reply #1829 on:** Nov 20, 2014, 05:07 PM »

Dock or boat fishing only at Round Lake State Park. Swimming is permitted, ha.

100 % Open water ! Docks were dusted with a little snow. Main gate is the only entrance for access. (Unattended)
