Going to Polson Thu thru Sat. I hear ice on Polson Bay is 8 - 10". How about Big Arm Bay out to Wild Horse Island? Yellow Bay and Blue Bay?
-
2nd post in 11 years lol
-
8-10". lol. its not
-
Majority of the ice thats not East Bay JUST showed up.
-
East bay may be about the only safe ice on flathead. Lots of other lakes fairly close though, that all have good ice.
-
The water in East Bay is 8-10”! ;D

I don't get what you said here. Do you mean the ice is that thick? Somers bay is iced over and the guys are out on it as well.
-
Perhaps he meant fishing over shallow water? I've never fished East Bay, but isn't it the access where you have to walk upwards of a mile to get beyond the mud flat and into deeper water?
-
If by deeper you mean 5', yes :) lots of people drill their first holes into mud there.
-
I believe he was refering to the original post in which someone mentioned 8-10" of ice...
I haven't been out there yet this year but plan to go saturday. I really doubt there's 8-10" of ice, as its only been frozen for maybe a week.
-
Intend to be on the ice Sat if it's safe to do so. That 8-10" from the OP was given to me by macman when I asked about ice conditions. I think he gave me the size of perch he was catching lol
Getting hammered with snow in the Pass right now and it's been in the -20/-30's for a week and a half. Going to like the warmer air................... .fishing or not.
-
zimmer always overestimates by 6", lol
-
Warm and windy here right now. I'll also be out saturday as long as its safe ice. I'll be in a red pop-up eskimo. Stop by if you see me out there.

Was on Big arm this morning. 6-8" of good clear ice, with a few inches of frozen slush on top of that. This stayed the same as far out as I cared to walk.
