no ice around here
« on: Jan 24, 2006, 10:40 AM »
Hey, I can't get to no hard water down here in southern Iowa so I have been watching the steelers play there best football ever. I've been a hard core steeler fan forever. bring on the seahawks. Way to go steelers.

Around the Des Moines area, none of the lakes have ice on them. I bought all my propane for the evenings to fish, all my gear is still sitting in a pile ready to go but I think it will sit there till next year it looks like. Maybe I can sneek away from the house without the wife noticing. HAHA

try rock creek near grinnel it has like 5 to 6 inches still on it and fishing is fair.  you could also try pine lake up by eldora it has a good 5 inches on it

I havn't ice fished IGL for a number of years but I do fish it in the summer some. When I did ice fish it...Miller's Bay as the sun comes up and as the sun gos down. The rest of the time ..take a nap! ;D Is it still like that? Probably.
Brushy ice is still ok and you will always catch fish...Maybe not the species you want ..but fish you can eat if you want .
