Beaver, Murray, Lake 5

Has anyone been to these lakes to check conditions. I was getting excited since we are back to those 20 degree days. I picked up an old Fish-Lo-K-Tor from EBay was anxious to try it out.

I haven't heard anything from Beaver.  That sucker is deep for a small lake, usually takes a little longer to ice up!

Where is Murray?

Lake 5 should be good, I was up around Lion on Saturday and it was Solid.

I think I'm going to take the kids up on Lake 5, Half Moon or Lion on Sunday....

Good Fishing!

Thanks Neptune I thought you would be the first to reply. Good fishing and would like to see you out here some day. Hope the kids have fun.


ps Murray is before Beaver, left at the main sign to lakes.

12/15/07 I went out to Lion around 9:30am, there was one person fishing. Ice was about 5 inches. I saw no activity on flasher but only checked the two east points opposite the spillway. I left from there and went to Lake 5, it was a ghost town I saw maybe 2 sets of tracks in snow and no previous holes. Again the ice was around 5 inches. I tested ice about 80yds out  and the ice seemed consistant. I got some flashes at 15ft with 40ft bottom, I think i had some at 65ft but I don't know how to read close holds to the bottom yet. I went out mainly to check the ice conditions both are frozen and should be good fishing. I am going out Sunday to Murray and maybe Beaver. I was told Smith is frozen and maybe Roger but the person did not know the fishing conditions because of this years heat wave the killed a lot of the grays in Rogers.

I was out on Lake 5 on Sunday.  4-6" of good clear ice.  Caught some perch.  Didn't see any kokes.

Got one big perch.  About 12-13" and over a pound.  fish disappeared after about 11:30am.

Word on the ice is Smith is hot for pike right now.

Good Fishing!
