Lake Arthur
« on: Dec 15, 2021, 06:53 AM »
I just wanted to stop by and say hello to the good people on ice shanty as well as ice friends past and future.

They dropped the water levels early this year (unlike last year when they waited until we had ice to drop the water level).  It now appears to be at winter pool.  Water temp was at 36 degrees in the middle of Muddy Creek, so if we get some reasonable winter temperatures soon, we should start making ice.  Pray for safe ice and I hope to see you guys out there this year.

Mo, good to hear from you.  I don't have any pics but I'd say she's down about 18"-24".  Lots of shoreline showing and the concrete launch platforms are waaayyy out of the water now.  Good time to walk around and look for snagged lures...

They definitely did not used to drop it this low...must be under new management.  The same management that refuses to let guys fish from the docks.   :%$#!:

4x4dad, you find the fish and give me a call!

If this wind slows down we might see some good ice being made over the next week.

Will do brother 👍
I'm actually holding onto some hope for safe ice by the looks of this week's night temperatures . Figure I'd take a ride to MC Friday or Saturday and check it out  .

Ehhh , she's 16 now and figured out what boys are all about 😒 Her rabbits are just a chore now  . I probably could talk her into going if I wanna listen to that nasty noise kids call music these days 🤢 Got a couple neighbor boys that are interested in trying ice fishing  . Good kids , should be interesting 🙂👍

Tell her to bring those boys out on the ice and we can decide how tough they are. I remember fishing with my girlfriends dad in high school. She dumped me because I fished to much... her dad and I continued to meet up and fish the lake after.

If this rain doesn't kill it and it freezes up tomorrow night, will that help make the ice thicker faster?  Just looking for a silver lining...

Looking at the current extended forecast, how likely is it we will have safe ice by next weekend?  I have been bed ridden with a flu the past few days and im getting stir crazy to get out in the ice

I live about 8 minutes from muddy creek and have a small .25 acre pond at my house. I was able to stand on it today with no cracking or flexing.  I'm thinking that is a good sign but I'm sure there are more factors at play with the lake. Either way, this season might just happen after all...

Thanks for the update brother 👍
My hope is holding out until we get reports of 4-6 inches of safe ice . This old man is to old to go swimming for fishies . 🤣
But the forecast of freezing temperatures is definitely promising 🙂👍

The lakes rumbling and grumbling as we speak. Stopped by on the way home from work and it was still luckily locked up.  Didn’t have any equipment to check anything but a couple days and you should fingers crossed be able to get on somewhere with the pucker factor
