I am going to say Safe ice for Glendo January 5th.

What does everyone else think of their local water hole?

I'm gonna call Ocean Lake ice by Thanksgiving. I've been pretty darn close the last 2 years.

Deaver Resavoir should be Thanksgiving. Given the ten foot rule (no one closer than 10 foot to you). But good right around there.

10 foot rule sounds like I will stay on shore for a week or so longer.

I think I'm going to buy an auto inflate H2O life vest this year for early and late ice. Glendo is scary all season long!!!

Went across a Dragging Equipment Detector (DED) last night coming through the canyon off of Cassa Rd and it repeated 32 degrees! Ice on bay-beeeeee!!!

looking forward to hard water. WILL be my first adventure in a while as i am sitting out hunting with a broken leg!

Ryderr · « **Reply #17 on:** Sep 26, 2011, 05:53 PM »

Last year we were out December 4th in MI's UP on 4 inches. That was the soonest safe ice, though guys were out before than on 2"

Im gonna guess around December 1st this year.

hopefully the weather will start changing here soon, tired of the hot weather, the mountain is not even getting cold enough to put ice on the puddles of water yet, usually I get to break some ice when I am archery hunting elk, not this year though. Maybe next week hopefully.

Just looked at the weather and it looks like snow is in the forcast for October 6th, I know it is just in the mountains, but a weather change would be nice, 80 degrees is toooo hot, especially for this time of year.

They don't know whats going to happen 2 hours from now, let alone in a week from now.

X2 Wally! @fishhunt, I heard the same thing. I think that would warrant a drive above Lander if it's snowing. I'm so stoked for this winter!

jopes · « **Reply #24 on:** Sep 30, 2011, 01:43 PM »

I just looked at the 10 day and in douglas the last 4 will be in the low 30's and high 20's
