Bob,It was my group -- ice was very spotty 2-6 inches in spots --way to much snow on it. We could not get to my walleye numbers -- by the way took a good dip in Chataugua this morning. Didn't you see my yellow coat.

Fishing was always good around the California Ranch site, even south basin! I used to live that way, and it was my second home away from home! Bear_Lake_Bob
Greetings to all the fine fisherman of Bear Lake !! First time on the Shanty this year and stopped here first to say hello to BL Bob and all the rest of you diehards that walk the slippery paths to your favorite holes in the ice Hows the conditions over there and are the calicoes coming to the top of the ice yet? Looking foward to any and all responses. Sincerely, Jd
hey, jd nice to see you back the ice at maple springs is around 8 inches.
Once again thanks bob nice to met ya last yeaar keep the reports coming and maybe we can fish bear or another lake in the area!
Bear Lake is empty, no fishermen at all today!. Shore ice looks good, still cold and blowing with occasional sunshine!. Looks like someone walked out off the road for a bit, then track were covered. Sunday should bring out the best in all of us, due to better weather, less wind blowing! Bear_Lake_Bob checked Bear Lake today( Sunday AM ) There were two groups of 7 people out on the ice, not too far out, and definitely fishing in areas which hold nothing to speak of!The path they cut revealed minimal snow, then clear ice way out. People have to cheat across the lake to the far point to get into the winter calico on this lake, or towards Muskie point in 16FOW!May walk out on ice for thickness check and check on catches today!

Bear_Lake_Bob thanks bob, keep up the great work on them reports! Will have to bring my son over there sometime soon for some of those camp point callies. He wants to go tonite with me but as a rule, I never take him on the ice til I get out there first.
Hunter, It's great to be back! My son fried my computer about three weeks ago and I just now got a new one set up. First thing I did was get on ISS! It;s great to see all the familiar names still out there posting and giving up that valualable info. I'm heading up to M. Springs tonite for my first trip on the lake this year. I've been working 70 hr. weeks at the new casino in Sal. since May and haven't had time to do hardly anything all year. But even that can't keep me off the ice now that we actually have some! Will let everyone know if anything good comes thru the hole. By the way, do you still got those straps for the clam? Later, JD
Just wondering how the ice is a Bear Lake? Just keep getting more snow, can t be good for the conditions. Anyone been fishing?
Thanks bob for the report.I guess i'll keep chasing the walleye for a little while longer Hunters:Good idea, gives ya something to due during this lull! Everything started to jell for a while, Lake Erie, Bear,Cassadaga, Chautauqua, and the like, then Poof! gone for the most part!No fun at all standing in slush, while trying to fish, or even set up the hut! Oh! and that awful walk out and in thru the slop YUK!Bear_Lake_Bob
Yes i have them,We are going to have to meet at maple springs or some where we are both going to fish so i can give them to you.
