Plan to be in Greene county on thurs wasn't sure if ice would be safe or not, it has been a warm one this year, anyone know of ice conditions on north south lake or anywhere near here? last year at this time there was 6 inches but idk this year thanks!

That was the first one i was on last year. But with rain coming and the warmth this year..... Let me know if there is ice. If you do go.

ckfish · « **Reply #2 on:** Dec 20, 2011, 05:12 PM »

I heard Albany area had around 2-3 inches so i'm guessing north south should have 4 which should be good hopefully it doesn't rain but I'll let u know

ckfish · « **Reply #3 on:** Dec 20, 2011, 05:13 PM »

btw there will be some tiger muskie out of that lake this year they predict

don't think I'll even make it thurs anyway but it doesn't look like there will be ice by then anyway hopefully by new years at least!

where is inlaws pond? rip van winkle is safe and north south should be after this week of cold.

ICE4ME75 · « **Reply #17 on:** Jan 04, 2012, 06:23 AM »

greenville area. 3". should be about 4 by the weekend. good luck to all and remember to be smart. early ice is nothing to play around on. fish in atleast pairs and bring spikes and a rope. ( i like wearing the the life jacket also.)

bobhaas · « **Reply #18 on:** Jan 04, 2012, 07:59 AM »

hopefully it gets even colder

ICE4ME75 · « **Reply #19 on:** Jan 05, 2012, 11:41 AM »

walked on friends pond last night. 3.5". will be pond hoping this weekend. cox. res. looked like it still had a few open spots but was dark so couldn't really tell how much was locked up. going to be a little while especially with this 40 degree weekend coming up.

. well good luck and stay safe.

ckfish · « **Reply #20 on:** Jan 05, 2012, 03:13 PM »

ARE YOU SAYING THAT N/S LAKE IN HAINES FALLS HAS THESE FISH

ckfish · « **Reply #26 on:** Jan 06, 2012, 05:03 PM »

They have been stocking with 12-18 inch tiger muskies since 2007. So some should be that big by now is what they say.

Looking forward to head up to North South Lake. Does anyone know the conditions? It's a drive for me so i don't want to waist gas and disappoint the kids. It would be very appreciated.

RIVERRAT2 · « **Reply #28 on:** Jan 08, 2012, 02:56 PM »

It is safe with anywhere from 4-7 inches at the moment.
