anyone fished kortes through the ice?

Just wanted to know if anyones fished it this year, and if there was any safe ice.

First off the almost verticle climb into Kortes with an ice auger whether motorized or hand would be somewhat of a challenge. For the ice conditions on Kortes that is another story. It has roughly 4500 acre feet of capacity and in the winter about 500+ or - cfs entering and exiting .The water entering Kortes may not even freeze as it is coming off the bottom of Seminoe an has vertialy no time to freeze . I have lived in Wy. Casper all my life and havent ever heard of anyone fishing thru the ice at Kortes but I havnt heard every thing.
AS always GOOD FISHING

thanks for the info. I was thinking the same thing about the ice as you, but i seen it listed on the G&F special ice fishing provision on their website.

I think they list it only because it is in the drainage on the N Platte.
Great Fishing
