Keep us informed on the ice conditions. Catching fish is nice, but I won't go alone if I know the ice is sketchy in places and I'm not very familiar at all with those lakes. Thanks and good luck!

Nobody was fishing 3 Mile today, but there were quite a few a 12 Mile. A couple guys were on four wheelers. Was getting pretty wet on top tonight. Caught some crappies and some nice gills. Didn't catch any eyes.

Looking to go to green valley tomorrow what is the ice looking like down there

Iowan · « **Reply #63 on:** Feb 07, 2013, 03:40 PM »

I haven't personally seen Green Valley for about three weeks. I know some guys were heading from 12 to Green Vally on Saturday. This rain and warm weather can't be helping though.

Looking at going there tomorrow morning, any advice would be greatly appreciated as this is the first trip there for me, especially concerning ice conditions.

jumbo chaser · « **Reply #67 on:** Feb 09, 2013, 12:14 AM »

Be careful a lot of rain and warm weather

Iowan · « **Reply #68 on:** Feb 09, 2013, 06:36 PM »

I personally am going to be headed North. I don't want to spend the time to get there and find out I can't fish. Please let us know what things look like after your down there. Thanks

Got a cabin down there this weekend can you get on the ice still at 12 mile? I saw somewhere else that the east ramp was all water, but there was 9" of ice out at the trees.

Anyone have an update?

jumbo chaser · « **Reply #70 on:** Feb 12, 2013, 07:51 PM »

Call the pier in creston talk to Dennis he might have info his phone # 641-782-5519

12 Mile and 3 Mile ICE OUT!! Well it may not be completely out but your bat crap crazy to go out there.

evan4434 · « **Reply #72 on:** Feb 13, 2013, 07:15 PM »

How recent did it go out. I talked to the pier, and thought I could still get out off the west ramp. He was going off what was reported from Monday's ice conditions.

nice day of ice fishing alone at 12 mile
went all afternoon only catching 2 bass from 2 till 6 then the crappies started and i was limited out by 730 even the the size was kinda small to fair
5 other fellas all reported the same but some really struggled even at dark
ice is like 6 to 8 and as reported by ranger joe above
there is a pool here and there ''widowmakers OR BLACK TIGERS" but it isnt like you cant see them but knowing they are there is kinda un nerving when walking off after dark
id like to help out and say we are good to go for the weekend but i know those pools are right at the ripple stage right now , Its 36 and the wind is supposed to be ugly tommorow

i feel the ice we have is good for foot traffic at the present but if it dont freeze tonight and the wind comes up she might get ugly

Water pooled on the ice....creates a black hole look....get close and your going to get wet.

dwmiller · « **Reply #77 on:** Feb 22, 2013, 10:50 AM »

Anybody looked at the lake today, or know how much snow they have?

jumbo chaser · « **Reply #78 on:** Feb 22, 2013, 11:42 AM »

About 4" of snow in creston and ice looked bad last week and the snow isn't going to help much

Iowan · « **Reply #79 on:** Mar 02, 2013, 05:43 AM »

Jumbo, Is there anybody still fishing 12 or is the ice shot down that way?

jumbo chaser · « **Reply #80 on:** Mar 03, 2013, 12:45 AM »

Just got back from brushy creek tonight ice was 15" but fishing was slow . Im going to check some local ice in morning I will post results ASAP

jumbo chaser · « **Reply #81 on:** Mar 03, 2013, 08:30 PM »

I have been on some bad ice this year but 3 and 12 is something I would not go on its over for the season

Iowan · « **Reply #82 on:** Mar 05, 2013, 11:58 AM »

Thanks. I have to come down by there tomorrow for work and didn't know if I needed to bring my ice gear! 3 Miles has been shaky all year. Thanks for the input!

ripNlips83 · « **Reply #83 on:** Dec 09, 2013, 05:43 PM »

Anyone know if they are locked up?

jumbo chaser · « **Reply #84 on:** Dec 09, 2013, 09:50 PM »

Both 12and 3 are locked up but still to thin but with the weather they should be good in a week or a week and a half but you could call the pier I was in there today so the piers #is 641-782-5519

John90 · « **Reply #85 on:** Dec 16, 2013, 11:32 AM »

Any more info on the ice there,? Looking to fish it this weeknd! How is the bite there?

rjbreese · « **Reply #86 on:** Dec 17, 2013, 12:32 AM »

what were the perch biting on and where on 12 did you catch them? describe from the boatramp only been there once but thinking about coming out this weekend....think an atv by the weekend???

herkyicer · « **Reply #87 on:** Dec 17, 2013, 01:08 AM »

No atv, not yet. 12 mile isn't that big just drive around find out where the crowd is WALK out there and talk to a friendly one, you'll be fine. I think you need 8" of ice for an atv, I'll call 911 but I'm not a hero. Good luck might see you down there

rjbreese · « **Reply #88 on:** Dec 17, 2013, 04:27 PM »

Thanks, i just talked to the officers at 3 mile and they said that both 3 and 12 had 6.5 to 7 inches of good ice...im thinking that i will bring my atv this weekend, stay in a cabin on 3 mile and hope to get into some perch action..... got any reccomendations for either 3 or 12 for the jumbos anyone?

mjlenz · « **Reply #89 on:** Dec 19, 2013, 12:40 PM »

Anyone else been out on twelve mile today or yesterday? Just wondering how the warm weather effected the ice or if the bite is on? Also is everyone using the East boat ramp and heading out from there? Thx!
