I cut a hole yesterday and there 6 or 7 inches of solid ice
There is 9" off Loney's Point on November 20, 2018.Slower morning but did ice a few fish.
how thick by boat launch, west side or south corner? Thanks
More experienced folks that myself should answer but here's what I remember:- Stay away from the causeway on the west end- Trucks have gone through near North Grove (west end, north side) in past years, not sure if it was due to heaves or thin ice- There is a pumphouse for the mine across the lake from Hitchcock Point (mid-lake, north side) that should probably be avoided- There is of course the pump inlet for the water treatment plant on the east end of the lake that should probably be avoided- Last year or the year before, a spring opened at the Loney Point boat launch just to the east of where you drive on between the boat launch and pointMight be a decent little project to map these out and post it. Really though, driving on ice / lakes is never 100% without risk any time.EDIT:Please comment with anything you wish to add or modifyhttps://www.scribblemaps.com/maps/view/Buffalo_Pound_Ice_Fishing_Hazards/BuffaloPoundICEFishing
Is the spring at loneys to the south or north of the lake access, the map appears to be to the south, but a ways out from shore.. is that accurate? also, do more guys fish or access the lake farther down near Hitchcock point?
The map is outstanding and really appreciated, it would be nice if someone made a thin Ice sign and posted it close to the areas ...might cause good fishing karma for someone!
