Thanks for the info. What are they fishing for, do you know?

9” of hard ice on Blue Lake.

S.moyer0331 · « **Reply #3756 on:** Feb 16, 2020, 08:03 PM »

Fished blue today, about 1 fish per hour. Ice was great, 10 inches of hard ice, no slop. Was painfully slow unfortunately.

Fished Blue Lake Friday with a group of 5.....slow day with only about 20 fish between all of us. Fished late morning today for a couple of hours and only landed 2 perch. Saw a couple on the flasher....but not interested in what I was throwing at them. A few other groups on the ice and it sounded like a slow day for everyone.

Does anybody know how the ice is on Round Lake?

aza10 · « **Reply #3759 on:** Feb 17, 2020, 06:33 PM »

Went around and checked some locals. Round is open water just off the dock. Shepherd is about 4” of white ice (wouldn’t trust it) and mirror was 5” of good ice. Hopefully ice holds for another week until I get back from my work trip this week!

Does anyone know if Avondale is frozen over enough??

RayneBidziil22 · « **Reply #3761 on:** Feb 19, 2020, 01:28 PM »

Avondale doesn't even have safe ice if anything its loosing ice checked last night there's open water like 20' from shore before you get to the ice

IdahoJoe · « **Reply #3762 on:** Feb 20, 2020, 08:48 AM »

Thanks Ray. Looks like I will head either to twin or the chain lakes on Friday then. Hope there is some decent ice

Dont waste your time going to the chain lakes, nothing but open water.

S.moyer0331 · « **Reply #3764 on:** Feb 20, 2020, 11:20 PM »

If fernan isn't fishable, chain lakes most definitely arent

plfish · « **Reply #3765 on:** Feb 22, 2020, 10:46 AM »

Hit Blue Lake yesterday afternoon. 11” solid ice. Slow fishing with only 5 perch landed with 2 crappie. Could see fish on the flasher but only half the time resulted in a bite. Still....awesome day to be outside. Others on the ice the past week have said activity has slowed down.

plfish, Was that you my daughter and I talked to on Monday (Presidents Day)? We were just leaving in the silver Sequoia. I haven't been back since then. Pretty long drive for us from CDA. That was a slow day. I'm getting spring fever with these warm temps.

plfish · « **Reply #3767 on:** Feb 22, 2020, 12:57 PM »

Yup that was me. For whatever reason the activity has dropped off the past 2 weekends. Some changing weather might help pick up things.

I went out on Gamlin Lk. yesterday. had 4 in. of ice. about 1.5 in was clear. At 1st I stayed close to the truck with a rope with in reach. After a couple of hours 3 other guys showed up and went out in the middle of the lake, then I went out and joined them. I didn't get any bites. I am done with that lake for the season. I also checked Shepard lk. and it had about 6 in. of ice. I think this weekend I will try Granite or Blue Lks.

Does anyone know if someone went through the ice on Shepherd lake? I drove by there yesterday and there was a single folding chair on the north end of the lake by the weeds and no one around. There was a hole to the east of the chair with what looked like drag marks out. There was no rig at the boat launch / parking area. Just curious if anyone had information on what the story was there.

Saw a lone ice angler stretching the season on Sacheen Lake in Pend Oreille County, WA, on Saturday March 21st, 2020. Probably will fall through if he keeps it up. Someone did break through a few times getting out off the boat ramp.

meandcuznalfy · « **Reply #3771 on:** Mar 22, 2020, 06:58 PM »

Wow, that's crazy, considering that ice conditions were less than ideal up there this year.

gillsonice · « **Reply #3772 on:** Mar 25, 2020, 07:37 PM »

Idahogator, No posts from him this year, are you OK? I kind of miss your posts, Hope you are well. Anybody know?

CMS · « **Reply #3773 on:** Sep 11, 2020, 07:06 PM »

Is there a public boat launch in bottle bay, or just the one at the resort?

I checked on him last winter just to see why he had been so quiet. He said he was fine. Hope to see him on the ice this later this year.

That's good to hear. Thanks Blueduck

S.moyer0331 · « **Reply #3776 on:** Nov 28, 2020, 05:40 PM »

Anyone check any water lately? Hoping with these colder night time temps these north side lakes will start to cap

CMS · « **Reply #3777 on:** Nov 28, 2020, 06:48 PM »

On thanksgiving day I swung in to chase lake and it had some skim ice out always but nothing to get hopes up yet.

sihlms391 · « **Reply #3778 on:** Nov 28, 2020, 07:32 PM »

Not fair. Some lakes are already going south Idaho.

S.moyer0331 · « **Reply #3779 on:** Nov 28, 2020, 10:02 PM »

I've seen some action down south on facebook, was hoping blue, bead, or freeman would be frozen soon
