NEPA Reports Wanted

[RuttNutt]

Yep- lot of deterioration Friday/Saturday. I was on Promised Land Saturday and was hoping to go to Duck Harbor on Sunday but decided to stay closer to home and not risk driving over an hour (one way) and having to turn around and go home. 

As it was, I almost had to do that at Promised Land on Sunday, but found a spot of safe ice(for me) 100’ from shore. The day before you could go just about anywhere on the lake you wanted.

I had heard on Friday Duck was 4” with bad spots so it is probably very sketchy now! Especially with some snow cover making it hard to see what the ice looks like.

There was a gang on duck harbor two weeks ago. There are no spider holes. The only problem I ever had was the launch opening up.

I would like to go to duck harbor on Sat if I knew others were going.

Same here! 

I feel the “Aquatic Flu” coming on..............might have to use a sick day Friday! 😜

I noticed with the colder temps the last few days the local lakes that were open now have skim ice on them. The problem is they are only skimmed over and not capped with several inches. And with the High wind forecasted for tonight into mid/day Saturday it will probably wreck the ice.

 The lakes that still had several inches of ice like Promised Land(Upper) and White Deer should be OK this weekend. And some of the good lakes up in Wayne County like Duck Harbor.

It barely got above freezing yesterday and was 13* in Pike Co. this morning. And should be cold thru the weekend. So I am sure there will be options............... ...

Yes my thoughts exactly, need to be extremely careful. Or wait for someone else to follow. Cant win this year with the weather

[RuttNutt]

YES- BE CAREFUL!    Spud, picks and float suit.................. .........and USE them! 

[JMZ]

I'm going out Sat and the options are: Brady's, Duck Harbor, or Lake Jean. Lake Jean and Duck Harbor should be OK. Any info on Brady's. Anyone going?

[kmu70]

Pretty sure in reports I read it was open water .

[JMZ]

Does anyone know the conditions at Duck Harbor? I like to fish on a deeper lake this time of the year.

JMZ,Was there today 4 to 5 inches everywhere .didn't fish deep water today but there was lots of guys out there .
