Long live Ice Shanty! So much better than Facebook!

Feel free to share Lake Champlain conditions here.

I went for a drive this morning.
Swanton, Church Rd - 2". All of Missiquoi is frozen.
Highgate, Shipyard Rd - 2"
Carry Bay - 1-2" looks pretty sketchy
Dillenback /, Alburgh Passage - appeared to be barely skimmed over, did not check thickness
Pretty much anywhere else up north here - open water according to a friend

Hopefully I'll be fishing Champlain next weekend.

I went for a similar drive, but went south to north thru the islands. We probably passed each other!
Concur on Carry Bay and Dillenbeck.
Keeler is mostly open.
Sandbar has ice a ways out from the access, but didn’t look good enough for me to walk out on
I also checked Colchester Pond since it’s right by my house- completely frozen over, but only 2-1/2 inches where I checked a few yards off the boat launch.
This week’s weather is not looking good…

shirefisher:
But the coming wind storm will throttle all current ice...

Yup…..another challenging start.

Saw a few folks out on church road yesterday. Was about 3-4” of ice with 3-4” of snow on top.

Careful out there!


If it helps……I fished Metcalf Pond Fri and Sat. Drilled over 40 holes from the access off to the right. Consistent 4” until you get closer to the middle (tree branch sticking out). Went to 2.5” pretty fast.  Spoke to a local and was told there are lots of springs!

Two very light bites is all. Range was 2-8’ of water.

Good luck!
