Going out tomorrow for my first time ever ice fishing in Idaho. Going to hit Cocolalla. Pretty excited!
Found you Machias! Not stalking you I swear, I saw your name on here and couldn’t resist saw CoryTDF from huntwa on here somewhere too. Do any good today?
Fished round yesterday. Descent bite 330-430. Iced 2 perch 1 bass 1 brookie and 4 bows. 10” of ice. Found a fish finder that fell out of someone’s sled on the way out. I stashed it in the pavilion if anyone is looking
LOL, nope, did not make it out. Well pump guy came out yesterday and installed the well pump. Excavator guy was supposed to show up last night, but did not, so I'm waiting on him now. Going out this afternoon to at least get familiar and maybe figure out where to go in the morning.
Anybody been to the chain lakes this week. I saw that it was raining there last week but it's been colder.
Any one have an ice report for Thompson lake
Have a little bit info on ice at Priest. Sounds like northern end has some ice and someone had walked out on Squaw Bay. No info on conditions, depth etc. Spoke with some folks who work in Cavanaugh Bay and it sounds like Cavanaugh isn’t quite ready, looks a bit sketchy, but the feeling is with the cold temps this week could possibly be ready by the Good chance there could be some fishable ice by the weekend….but we’ll have to see what the temps bring. Looks like a high of 19 on Wednesday and the Weather Service forecast doesn’t show temps above freezing until Saturday.
Avondale is still frozen but edges are not safe last I heard a few days ago
The north Idaho news feed said that authorities are chasing a man that ran onto spirit lake and have medical crew standing by on case he falls in, maybe that guy will tell us how thick it is?
