Was on Hauser and Fernan today ice is holding up well, ice is 9 inches on both lakes, 3 ices of clear at bottom, 6 inches of slushy frozen ice. The ice on the shore line on both is melting but still safe. If we have more warm weather will become unsafe. Wear your ice picks and invest in a spud bar.

Thanks for the update. I appreciate it

Cocolala snow gave us good traction. Ice is still 9inch on my ruler. No bite but I did have some quads drive by my group multiple times.

Just a curious question here. I've fished lower twin in the past for pike and hadn't stumbled across any unfortunately and was considering going to upper twin tomorrow because I've got dinner with the mother in law but don't want to spend all day with her. So was planning on heading out in the am while I'm down that way. Typically I fish the more northern lakes and ponds, but I was wondering if anyone has any luck with pike in that area between upper and lower twin. I've been out there in the summer time and get ran over by the bigger boats in my canoe and I don't see why it wouldn't be a great pike spot in the winter. Was just curious if others actually ice fish it or not and what kind of luck they have. Thanks !

anyone know ice thickness at the condos or bottle bay?

Hit Blue Lake yesterday with Yellowice. Beautiful day on the ice but only 1 bite with 5 poles over 3+ hrs. Ice was almost 13” and solid. If it weren’t for a bit of drifted snow on the ice it would have been hard to stay up on 2 feet since I didn’t have my cleats on.

Idahoice77, Nice bass thru the ice. Id guess 4# or so.

JRHarris76 · « **Reply #4750 on:** Mar 01, 2023, 12:01 AM »

How’s the fishing been on Hauser? How thick is the ice?

dudemandude · « **Reply #4751 on:** Mar 01, 2023, 12:00 PM »

Nine inches of ice, 4 inches of snow on top, makes for pulling a sled harder, bite was slow.

FishingRick57 · « **Reply #4752 on:** Mar 02, 2023, 11:27 AM »

Anyone have a report from Cocoalla? Hows the bite?

Ratso-jig · « **Reply #4753 on:** Mar 06, 2023, 05:56 AM »

Hit spirit lake with some friends and caught a few kokanee. Plenty ice.

houlzhouse · « **Reply #4754 on:** Mar 06, 2023, 09:56 AM »

Ratso were you at bronze bay or nautical loop?

Ratso-jig · « **Reply #4755 on:** Mar 06, 2023, 11:00 AM »

Nautical loop

Davedb · « **Reply #4756 on:** Mar 06, 2023, 01:50 PM »

Ratso-jig… nice bunch of kokes.

JimBob2 · « **Reply #4757 on:** Mar 06, 2023, 02:34 PM »

Easy getting on and off?

Ratso-jig · « **Reply #4758 on:** Mar 06, 2023, 04:28 PM »

Jim. Road going down lake is kinda steep.

JimBob2 · « **Reply #4759 on:** Mar 06, 2023, 08:24 PM »

Yeah I've fished it for years. How much snow is there on the road down to the lake?

FinBear · « **Reply #4760 on:** Mar 12, 2023, 01:50 PM »

How is the ice out there?
I have had no time to fish for weeks and hoping its safe to get a last few Ice Walks in.

plfish · « **Reply #4761 on:** Mar 12, 2023, 08:44 PM »

Hit Blue Lake and it had 14” of solid ice with about 6” of snow on top. Should be good for a few more days and possibly into next weekend. A couple of hours on the ice and no bites and nothing on the flasher. I guess the winds from the east….fish bite the least was spot on today.

Ratso-jig · « **Reply #4762 on:** Mar 13, 2023, 07:35 PM »

Nice Smalley today. Should make it 1 more weekend.

JimBob2 · « **Reply #4763 on:** Mar 15, 2023, 05:48 PM »

Where did you catch the smallie

Ratso-jig · « **Reply #4764 on:** Mar 17, 2023, 09:26 PM »

Jim got bass out at spirit. Wish I could make it out 1 more time.

JimBob2 · « **Reply #4765 on:** Mar 17, 2023, 09:55 PM »

Thanks, I forgot there were smallies in there now.

Seen Kelsi has 10 inches solid ice with good trout bite. Lower twin has 8 from what I heard and solid coming off shore. Spirit should be good too hopefully heading out there this afternoon.

houlzhouse · « **Reply #4768 on:** Mar 20, 2023, 02:46 PM »

Ratso how were ice conditions on Spirit on Sun? Going to try to get out thurs

Ratso-jig · « **Reply #4769 on:** Mar 20, 2023, 03:30 PM »

Ice is good on spirit probably 14 inches between snow pack and clear ice. You can drive down boat ramp now. Solid shore line.
