Blanchard Lake Ice Report...
« on: Dec 11, 2009, 12:13 PM »
I went to Blanchard lake 2 days ago and drilled test holes.  Walked from the boat lauch through the cut all the way to the main lake.  Found Ice thickness 5"-7".  It was thicker on the main lake than in the arm.  Nice clear ice also not snow ice.

Good Fishing :tipup:

Amazing how fast the lakes in the area have frozen this week. Last Sunday I started to walk out from the boat ramp and there was slush!
Beaver lake was open Sunday now has 4-5" inches.

Was out there today. 8 inches of ice everywhere I drilled. Nice day out, though not much for catching. Only one hammer handle pike. Maybe I was playing with the new LX-5 too much.  :)

Neptune... I know someone who is going to get me in touch with a home owner on the lBlanchard to be able to fish at night... I'll let you know if it happens...
