Utah > Ice Fishing Utah
I'm done for this season
(1/1)

The local Wasatch back lakes are filling so fast right now that it is almost impossible to get a machine on the ice. We tried at Rockport yesterday and it was a no-go for sure. We did see 2 walk-ons over on the west side, but machine access is history for this year. We decide to drive up to Strawberry and got there at 10:30 AM. The air temp was at -2*F when we got to the Marina. Ice is still well over 2 feet thick and the edges are solid. Fishing was slow. My buddy caught 4; I caught zero. Cost of fuel for that one round trip was over $100. I'm done for the season. As is the norm, I believe Strawberry will still be safe and ice fishable through the end of March - if you can afford to drive up there and back. I'll pass at over $100 a trip and it's gonna get a whole lot worse before it gets better. Y'all have fun if you still think its worth it. I think Willard, East Canyon, and maybe Hyrum will get most of my business this summer at current and expected fuel costs this year. See y'all on here next December.
;D

Sorry to hear that its done for you Bob, I can agree that the gas is getting ridiculous but I'm sure we'll be fishing for a bit still. Maybe ill see you on the soft water this year if I get the boat out and leave the trailer and SXS in Idaho for an extended period this summer. probably wont be hauling them around a lot unless the gas drops.
