Attempted to fish Sandy Beach again Katepwa. the Ice have piled up a little and has some cracks about 5" wide. I really didn't want to get wet so I headed over to Echo Bay-Say-Ta. Three perch,8 little Walleye, and 1 5ish pound jack. The jack cost me a whole $18 rod lost the tip. Was a nice evening overall

Pickle you actually drove out on the lake? Even after all the posts in the last day about both Last Mountain and Katepwa cracking and people nearly stranded. You have a lot more guts than I do. I love my truck too much to risk that

jimslam · « **Reply #72 on:** Dec 18, 2011, 03:39 AM »

does anyone have a tip on where to fish on pasqua lake where a guy can catch a few fish never really had any good luck ice fishing on pasqua in the past couple of years besides tullibee

Mike. · « **Reply #73 on:** Dec 18, 2011, 09:28 AM »

Out front of the cabins west from luther point, just find the drop off and you will catch fish. The westend is pretty good this time of year for walleye

What is the best access to get to Luther point?

gobigorgohomenow101 · « **Reply #75 on:** Dec 18, 2011, 11:56 AM »

Great luck at mission lately.
I think with the ice conditions elsewhere I will be spending the next few weeks there.
Lots of eyes on the ice!

Qoute: "there were trucks on mission on sat and sun mine included it was solid then. There was 9-11 inches"

Don't rely on others!!!

Recognize that there is no such thing as "safe ice." Conditions and unseen or unknown factors can render seemingly safe ice suddenly dangerous. Take all care and precautions to avoid mishaps and to put rescue plans into immediate action should something go wrong.

What you need to know
Because there can be many variations in the structure, thickness, temperature and strength of an ice sheet, it is essential to carry out some fairly simple field observations of the ice sheet you want to use to support a load. Be cautious! Never go out on an unknown ice sheet alone, and always probe ahead of yourself with a heavy ice chisel. Consider wearing a personal flotation device and roping yourself to an assistant.

The main thing to determine is the ice thickness. This can be done by drilling holes with an ice auger. Note whether the ice is clear (sometimes called black ice) or white (due to air bubbles sometimes called snow ice). Measure the thickness of both kinds. Take note of the frequency of cracks and whether they are wet or dry. On rivers, be alert to variations in ice thickness that may occur as a result of bends, riffles or shallows, junctions with tributaries, etc.

For both rivers and lakes, warm inflows from springs may create areas of thinner ice. Also, the ice thickness near shore may be thinner (due to warm groundwater inflow or the insulating effect of drifted snow) or thicker (due to the candle-dipping effect of variable water levels).

Observe any snow cover as well as variations in its thickness. Obtain the record of air temperature for the past several days, and continue observing air temperatures during the period the ice will be used to support loads.

Contrary to what many think, a rapid and large air temperature drop causes an ice sheet to become brittle, and the ice may not be safe to use for 24 hours.

If the air temperature stays above freezing for 24 hours or more, the ice begins to lose strength, and the table no longer represents safe conditions. This becomes the general condition in the spring. Even though the ice may have adequate thickness, the strength is quickly lost the longer the air temperature is above freezing. In all cases of air temperature changes, the effects are greatest on bare ice, and are subdued by increasing depths of snow cover. However, no quantitative guidance can be offered.
