Whitecaps yesterday morning about 10am when we drove by on the highway. But it was 6 degrees and calm in Townsend when we came back last night. So they should be making ice now.

The webcam at the Silos showed it iced over today...finally! Now we just have to hope it stays cold. Here's the link...

do you think it will be ready to go by this weekend? the weather report looks promising. Please say yes...

I heard a rumor that there will not be any spotters used for the Team tournament at Canyon Ferry this year. Anyone know if this is true, and will it still be a 4 man team or 3 ?

Hahaha, I bet you would. You gonna make it up to Lewistown for the East Fork derby?

Lost River,
That webcam link is quite the ticket. Thanks for that! been checking it daily now and it looks promising but it would be much appreciated if anyone knows an actual ice thickness. Living in Bozo, I just don't want to make the trip and then not make it out on the ice. has anyone been out to Toston Damn either?

you could always call the Silo's and ask them for a report on the ice condition

i plan on it sounds like parking is going to be a problam road still not open

rtclaus · « **Reply #10 on:** Dec 08, 2011, 08:29 PM »

Parking shouldn't be a problem. There is another entrance further up from the first one, everyone will just have to park up top and walk or take 4 wheeler down to bottom.

Thats good Iceholer you spend your time in the ****ter while I fill my bucket with fish. lol

NONYA · « **Reply #13 on:** Dec 09, 2011, 04:32 PM »

The crapter should have a predrilled hole so you can "chum" and jig at the same time.

Tayreel · « **Reply #14 on:** Dec 09, 2011, 11:36 PM »

if anyone makes it out by the silos this weekend I'd love to hear of ice conditions and your luck. I'm hoping to hit the ice this next week. just can't decide to where to go. Dailey of Canyon Ferry. Sound like a lot of fish chasing out on Dailey. Guess the weather might also decide my fate, since most often when going to Dailey we get blown around like a sail in a hurricane.

NONYA · « **Reply #15 on:** Dec 10, 2011, 10:05 AM »

The web cam at the silos is lookin good...

spedray · « **Reply #16 on:** Dec 10, 2011, 05:49 PM »

Saw somebody fishing at the dikes yesterday

J_Edwards · « **Reply #17 on:** Dec 10, 2011, 06:28 PM »

Fished the silos this afternoon, few others out, 5" no one was catching much

Crestliner 1 · « **Reply #18 on:** Dec 10, 2011, 06:47 PM »

I wouldnt go to Dailey, fished last 2 days only 6 perch total saw very few fish on camera.the wind was terrible today at least 50mph hard to fish

Tayreel · « **Reply #19 on:** Dec 10, 2011, 07:35 PM »

Thanks for the info and suggestion. I definitely prefer going to canyon ferry so I will attempt to hit the ice sometime this next week.

NONYA · « **Reply #20 on:** Dec 10, 2011, 10:02 PM »

Just finished tuning up the auger and putting together a lightweight "walk on" sled,if the winds not howling Im going to try CF tomorrow after it warms up a bit,im sure I wont be alone.

iceholer · « **Reply #21 on:** Dec 10, 2011, 11:03 PM »

gl catch one for me

NONYA · « **Reply #22 on:** Dec 11, 2011, 02:09 PM »

Caught one for each of us,2 dink walleye right off the bat then fished for 3 more hours without a bite.5 " of ice about 20 yards off shore down by the dikes,didnt go out any further as the ice seemed to thin as I went out.
