You saw right....I don't know how far the ice is south but with that last cold snap it's like the whole lake flash froze. Seems everywhere there's ice it has 5 + inches

  • Ice fishing a sport, or just reason to buy stuff?

FYI 430 is a road that goes south of Rock Spings and heads into Colorado.   I bet it was 530 that you were on south of Green River.   Many remember when the politically correct " Holmes Crossing" was through out history named "squaw hollow".   Thanks forest service for being politically correct.

I fished that area today (Friday) but the other side of the reservoir.  People were fishing both sides.  Caught two small macs and had a lot come in that would not bite well and that was from 10 am on.  5+ inches of good ice but watch out for the pressure ridges. A lot of them look like they would get you a little wet if you went too close.
