I'm going to drive up tomorrow and see how it is (along with half of eastern Idaho I presume) and will post what I find.
Fished at Goose Bay for about an hour then couldn't take the wind. It was 3 degrees with a 25 mph wind. It was absolutely miserable. 5 inches of pretty good ice and with the temps I'm sure it will thicken. The entire lake is capped. There were people fishing at the County dock, didn't look like anyone had tried Staley's, stump hole, or Wild Rose. That end of the lake has dark clear, slick looking ice, not sure of the thickness but I'm betting not much. Someone had tried to go out at the Hatchery, but I couldn't tell by the tracks if they were able to fish or not. State Boat dock had lots of holes, but few brave souls fishing when we drove in, the wind there was even worse. The road into Goose Bay was drifting but not too bad, 4x4 ok. Going to try again Tuesday but I will be looking at the State web cam and if the wind is blowing 20 or more I'm not going to bother. I will also add that the water was extremely murky and most of the fish I marked were all in the top 5 feet of water....weird for sure.
Thanks for the report Phission, sounds like a great time Just a reminder to everyone there is a R&C board set up now for most lakes in Idaho that have been posted up in the new lakes list. These boards are for members only, with more than 3 posts. So they are not so public. I dont have the ability to move some of these reports but im sure they will be eventually. Again thanks for the report Phission
I thinks I'll go with 3 poles, a jacker, and a tip-up! Very excited to get on the ice this weekend, though looks like a 5-day snow adventure. Such is life in the ice world. See you on Saturday Prospector!
Thanks for the report . Do you think it would be safe to ride a 4 wheeler on the ice .
Sounds good man! Hope we can get plenty of good pictures and video for the next episode you are going to be making.
