Hey - I'm wondering about GP or Cobb this weekend. Anyone know if there's safe ice yet?

Bill Dance · « **Reply #1 on:** Nov 14, 2011, 09:48 PM »

I heard GP has a skim over it now but not sure if it's safe yet. Make sure you play safe.

some of the higher elevation lakes have ice, I stepped out onto Angly lake yesterday, it had 3-4 inches, and I also made my way into a little gem of a spot me and Terry called "Cold Sweat lake" it had 3 inches, I hope to try GP this weekend

on sunday I was up at shane lake in prince george and there was about an inch of ice. not nearly safe yet but I suspect its adding up quickly with the cold weather coming for later this week.

hey bill and thanks for the hospitality. I am not particularily new here but have acquired a new more appropriate alias. I hope to contribute a few good threads this season.

What would you guys consider as safe ice? 4 plus inches?

I would say it's safe but if you have a bunch of people on the ice and someone caught a big fish, I wouldn't huddle around and try to look at it.

ohh its soo close now- this weekends suppose to get a lil colder, thatll put lil bit of ice under the snow..

Kenbo3 · « **Reply #9 on:** Nov 17, 2011, 03:50 PM »

headed up to the park tomorrow night. I'll post the ice thickness on this thread. I see there are a few people looking to get out this weekend. I would say 4inches of "good" clear ice should be safe as long as tempuratures are below zero while your out there.

IceDrisher · « **Reply #10 on:** Nov 17, 2011, 08:10 PM »

I wonder if all of this fresh snow will slow down ice formation?

Kenbo3 · « **Reply #11 on:** Nov 18, 2011, 08:23 PM »

Went up to shane lake just a little while ago to check the ice. When I showed up it looked positive. someone had written thier name in the snow by walking out on the lake. I drilled three holes not too far from shore. I guess maybe ten feet of water (all you need to catch fish...) the ice in all three spots was greater than 4inches not including the half inch of slush between te ice and fresh snow. with cold weather here for the weekend.... See you out there and play safe

Northern Hunter · « **Reply #12 on:** Nov 19, 2011, 03:56 PM »

Was out today near Willow River and stopped by to check on Eaglet... No snow on the lake and about 3 inches of solid ice on it 10 feet from shore. Won't be long now. Heading out on Tuesday and Thursday to check out Shane Lake will let you know how she goes.

Kenbo3 · « **Reply #13 on:** Nov 20, 2011, 04:58 PM »

well we went out today a week earlier than planned. Turns out there is ice on the lake but not enough to get out to where the fish were. had a couple of good bites even in the 4 feet of water. we fished for a few hours... the snow on the top of the lake made is slushy and seemed to weaken the ice. Hoping it thickens up a bit more so safety isnt an issue. BE CAREFUL OUT THERE CHECK YOUR ICE THICKNESSES AND CONDITIONS!

Northern Hunter · « **Reply #14 on:** Nov 21, 2011, 10:37 PM »

Which lake did you try Kenbo?

Kenbo3 · « **Reply #15 on:** Nov 21, 2011, 11:02 PM »

Small puddle we like to call "Remote Lake A". If you search through last years posts I am sure you'll come across it.

salmoncandy · « **Reply #16 on:** Nov 21, 2011, 11:40 PM »

i saw a wack of wackadoodles ice skating on tabor yesterday. There was 1/2 inch of snow there wich ment to me it coulnt have closed up more than a day or two prior. All there with the kids and no way to check the ice thickness.

NewKidsOnTheDock · « **Reply #17 on:** Nov 25, 2011, 07:43 PM »

our group was out at echo lake last weekend. there was 4-5 inches so let the season begin. we caught lots of fish btw, probably about 25 altogether. the bite was on

Hey guys

Nice to meet you guys today.

Nice video. We'll have to meet up on the ice soon. Good luck out west

just wondering how i view your pics. cant seem to find it. i guess we are pretty new at this site, sorry

I started a thread (topic) called cluculz squad updates/fish reports 2011-2012, open that topic, the picture of Kevens fish doesnt do it justice. I'd say 3 lbs not 4 lbs. He dont like it when I say that though

kodiak80 · « **Reply #22 on:** Dec 03, 2011, 02:30 PM »

went out to shane lake this morning. ~4inch of solid ice, 2inch of mixed ice, it was pretty solid.

fishing was decent too

holmes76 · « **Reply #23 on:** Dec 04, 2011, 10:57 AM »

There is a good 5-6 inches on tabor right now. Spike420 and I are there right now

salmoncandy · « **Reply #24 on:** Dec 04, 2011, 11:11 PM »

Clucluz lake gots 2 inches or so another week or so and it's fishing time. Watch out fishes

Fished Camp lake today Dec 11 in Eskers and there is about 4 inches of solid ice and an inch or two of "slush" ice. Tracked all over the lake, its safe.

Welcome to the shanty! How did you do fishing today? Any Kokanee?

kodiak80 · « **Reply #28 on:** Dec 11, 2011, 07:38 PM »

kokanee were around, but it was slow for them, and they didn't have much size today

I was out at TM this morning and there was a good bite around 10:00 and then it died right off. Most of the fish I saw were small but my partner got one about 16". The ice was about 4" thick - if I hadn't seen all the locals out there I would have carried my spikes!
