Have ice!... except for katepwa, haha.

Pasqua, and mission are locked right up. Echo is probably 95% frozen over, some open spots and pretty inconsistant ice.

Anywhere from 1.5-3 inches of clear ice most everywhere you go but still lots of weak spots around. We tried on echo first but the ice was pretty sketchy and the fishign was slooow so we headed down to mission and caught the very tail end of the bite. Still managed to each get a couple perch and some tulies, but at least we know its good for next weekend as long as it stays cold. Depest we went was 8 feet but I cant say I reommend going in over your head right now, another 2 weeks and it should be pretty darn safe.

16 inches should be lots of ice for a diesel, seen guys driving cummins mega cabs on 8-12 inches last winter @ LML.

Traded in the old chevy for a tractor? 14 inches should be fine, just dont get stuck I'd hate to have to come around and pull you out with my duramax.

Headin out again this weekend will try to get some pictures up.

If your walking out you will be fine, me and my buddy are taking our trikes out on the ice tomorrow mind you both of them combined weigh less than one quad.. we will be fishing the north east side of echo and mission if echo is slow

gobigorgohomenow101 · « **Reply #20 on:** Dec 04, 2011, 02:50 PM »

Any recent updates on the ice at Echo? In the Fort San/Callings Lake Center area?

BallsOut · « **Reply #21 on:** Dec 04, 2011, 04:33 PM »

another good day for team balls out some really nice walleye coming out of the Q valley chains keep those hooks sharp boys see you out there

Big Burk · « **Reply #22 on:** Dec 04, 2011, 04:55 PM »

Me and a buddy headed out on echo on our trikes yesterday, we tried right out from fort san and ice was sketchy there I am going to wait at least another week to head back there, bite was slow only managed a few perch, we then headed to mission by lebret and had a much slower day than last weekend with only a few perch caught there too. Today I went out by the fishery on echo and didn't have a single bite so headed over to pasqua lake and picked up a few perch before heading home. Pasqua and misson had better ice than echo, I found echo Is fairly inconsistent in spots and has a fair bit of open water in spots. Might head out some day after work and try to catch the late bite. Tight lines -Big Burk

Were you the ones in the white Cummins on the North side of Mission by Lebret? We were in the white pearl Ford. We caught one dinky little perch!

Should have took the skates, could have made a few laps around the lake!

fishwhisperer · « **Reply #24 on:** Dec 04, 2011, 06:32 PM »

Me and my buddy were out on echo today infront of the hatchery. Total of 7 perch, 4 walleye. Ice was 6 inches. We fished from 8 to 20 or so FOW.

Big Burk · « **Reply #25 on:** Dec 04, 2011, 10:02 PM »

Yeah that was my buddys cummins we were in, I was the one with the bright orange pants, that spot was really good last weekend but this cold snap slowed the bite day down.

bite-me7 · « **Reply #26 on:** Dec 05, 2011, 10:23 AM »

Went ice fishing to Katepwa on Saturday, couldn't find any ice! **censored**

Went to Mission instead, fishing was slow!

Strange how Katepwa is wide open [no ice at all] and Mission is completely froze over!

fishwhisperer · « **Reply #27 on:** Dec 05, 2011, 11:42 AM »

Im going to head back out in front of the hatchery again tomorrow...the bite wasn't the greatest yesterday but we did ok.

treeplucker · « **Reply #28 on:** Dec 05, 2011, 04:31 PM »

Katepwa is now froze over completely how thick it do not know

Bobber Down · « **Reply #29 on:** Dec 05, 2011, 06:52 PM »

Me and my cousins were on echo today we slayed them at the hatchery then we went fishin it was slow. 5-6" of ice out front of the big teepee caught a pile of tullabee's fed them to a bunch wild dogs it felt like i was in a movie. Man vs Food! Ended up gettin the fish dinner at the Squire mmm!
