Ice is different on every lake. Springs , gas holes , run off water and so on. Check with a spud this weekend for sure. Belmont is still good but others lost there shoreline. They should be all good next week. Just hope the cold weather comes back. Be safe
Glad to hear Slocum is still thick enough. Any other reports on NEPA public lakes? I was thinking of trying to get on one on monday?
Here's something to think about............The rivers are still safe in spots. Yes, the rivers.We hit a River on Saturday, found 6 inches of ice solid to shore, and caught some nice walleye. How many of you would ever believe that.Other sites had posted "DO NOT HIT THE RIVERS THIS WEEKEND AS THEY WILL NOT BE SAFE" Good way to keep people away I guess, it certainly worked where we were.Dr. JM
Every lake is different. How much water flows into the lake, depth of lake, how much sunlight the lake gets, ect. We haven't had consistent cold this winter, I wouldn't trust any of the ice reports this year. Go out and see for yourself.
Well I do agree that all lakes freeze differently! & that this winter has sucked for ice conditions. But I kinda thought that was the hole point of this web site/blog? To post & report ice conditions & fish reports? Some of us on here travel an hour or more to some of these bodies of water. So driving an hour prior to fishing really isn't practical . I have no problem checking and posting an honest , rational ice report for others to make their own educated decision of weather or not ice is "safe" enough for them to fish on. Which I've dun several times. Just be safe & use ur head!
