Hopping the next couple nights the edge will freeze i dont really like the idea of walking across water to get to ice

Ranger_bound · « **Reply #181 on:** Feb 02, 2012, 05:29 AM »

Cody just grab some scaffolding from the construction site down the road. The lake should be making ice all day. Mother nature is going to tease us with cold temps again.

Ill grab a big do not enter sign while im at it. Then pull the scaffolding onto the ice after i get across right before you get there.

i was looking for some perch or an eye but just there to fish

Karas3434 · « **Reply #186 on:** Feb 02, 2012, 08:14 PM »

thinking bout heading out sat depending on ice. is it possible to get a snowmobile out there without sinking or having to watercross it?

bigZin315 · « **Reply #187 on:** Feb 02, 2012, 09:48 PM »

the edge is open water you need some boards to make it to the ice.....the fishing has been really really slow there i fished all day monday without a single fish and the same thing a couple days before that......there is still about ten inches of ice on the lake

Went to Delta today. Shore by beach crusting over.....maybe 1'2 - 3/4". It will hold you for a second or 2 before it gives in. Real thin like that out 10 - 20yds depending on where along the shore u are. Ice "looked ok" once past the thin shore ice, but with no one else out there I wasn't going to try to find out. 2 guys were off behind the camp ground real close to shore. Shore ice looks better there but I wasn't feeling it.

Wondering how the water is now, couldnt see the jig a foot below the hole last weekend ??

bigZin315 · « **Reply #190 on:** Feb 03, 2012, 06:00 PM »

how do guys get on the backsets where can i park?

Northern26 · « **Reply #191 on:** Feb 03, 2012, 06:53 PM »

Instead of going straight toward the beech turn right then just fallow the road and youll see where everyone else goes

bigZin315 · « **Reply #192 on:** Feb 03, 2012, 06:59 PM »

Walked through the campsites today.....(thats why I went there in the first place, "recon for summer"). Head toward the campsites. The campsite road is blocked off, continue to the right to the ranger station. Looked like people had been parking down there and then dragging through the campsites down to the ice. Saw a lot of drag marks through the ice on the campsite roads.

Ranger the water still yucked up ?

Ranger_bound · « **Reply #201 on:** Feb 09, 2012, 07:49 PM »

The water is usually merkey but it was exceptionally merkey last night. I hope it cleans up before the derby next Saturday.

Karas3434 · « **Reply #202 on:** Feb 09, 2012, 08:29 PM »

Hows the shorelines? when you say you had the sleds out there u mean snowmobiles? if so where you getting onto the lake?

Ranger_bound · « **Reply #203 on:** Feb 09, 2012, 08:51 PM »

Yes I mean snowmobile. I accessed the lake right at the beach but I was mindful of not tearing up the grass and staying near the tree line. The edge held me just fine.

bigZin315 · « **Reply #204 on:** Feb 09, 2012, 09:05 PM »

has anyone been catching any fish on delta

coots · « **Reply #205 on:** Feb 10, 2012, 05:44 PM »

I was wondering if the derby was still on for next sat. Haven't seen many guys out fishing on the lake.

Ranger_bound · « **Reply #206 on:** Feb 10, 2012, 05:47 PM »

To my knowledge still on schedule. There is plenty of ice out there and at the shore.

huntnfishz · « **Reply #207 on:** Feb 10, 2012, 09:01 PM »

went out this afternoon 2-dusk. fished 17-3 fow. drilled bout 30 holes. marked a few fish of diff sizes but most were prob like the 2 dinks i caught. prob needed a few more lure changes. went out the back set. shoreline was solid plenty of wheelers. ice is butter smooth. just enuff ice left on trail for easy dragging. lake is up, and seems like they re leavin it that way for awhile. nice day anyways wind died down at nite.
