North Idaho Ice

[riske]

Anyone been out on Coccalla this week?  I havent seen anyone on it since last weekend.  There was good ice last weekend but I am a little leary of it now.  After falling through it last year.   I have seen guys out on both sides of the long bridge all week.  They are nuts all it takes this time of year is some good wing and all that ice will break up right under your feet.

  I've not been out on Cocolalla Lake but, drove by Friday and one "bucketman" was out in the bay to the left of the dock at the north end. Ice looked solid and only open water was at the two inlets.
  How's Sunnyside?
                   Stay on top.   Tom

It's an incomplete day that doesn't start and end here. Just not much activity  south of Yellowknife, NWT. If I were 40 snows younger, prob'be moving close to where those pics were made by Drifter 016.
Check the topic: To you Southern Ice Fishers.

Yippee, ice on the beaver pond across the road, won't be long. They are dropping the Pend level like they did last year.

Ya, it's on the way now after that "False Start" 3 weeks ago when it was 5 above up Rapid Lightning area.

Here's a link to LPO level.

Well, that didn't work out to be a clickable link - a little help please.

 Good to check before you go, as the "Corps" might put the ice underwater.

   Have a good season, and make it a long one by staying safe & on top.

Thanx Jeff,
        The learning curve for me has a bend that's rough on old guys.

   BTW, the link works for any body of water the Army Corps of Engineers have control of dams.
