Illinois > Ice Fishing Illinois

Finally

<< < (4/4)

IlliniIce:
checked fishin holes yesterday, access plowed to two best lakes, couple rural ponds blocked by drifts and plowed snow at gateways
not much snow on the ice with the high winds along with around 8 inches of snow
other obligations until tuesday then its go-time with highs forecast in the 30s and pushing into 40s a few times over the next two weeks  ;D

I'm just packing it up for the day. Started around 7:30... fishing was fairly slow, 9 gills, about half of which were dinks. Had to really jig aggressively to get them to take a whack at anything.

Not much snow on top here either, but around 2" frozen slush over 4-7" of clear ice here. Anywhere snow is piled up along the bank, the edges are mushy. I imagine it'll be a mess and the edges will rot fast whenever we get a warmup.
