cascade ice conditions

[PhoenixPhish]

I went up to Horsethief Reservoir Saturday the 7th and Sunday the 8th and the conditions of the ice changed drastically w/in the 48 hr period.  The fishing was GREAT!  Caught plenty of trout, but if we don't get a good and strong cold front here soon the ice wont be safe to fish on.  For example, Saturday morning, the ice was slick and hard on the surface and by Sunday evening the first 1/2 inch of ice was turned to slush.  The shorelines are fading and parts of the ice out on the reservoir are starting to fad and water is coming through.  I would imagine that Cascade Reservoir would be the same.

Yes it is sad, if we all stick together we can get through this horrible weather. We must all put all of our ice fishing stuff away and then the arctic blast will come back and give us the deep freeze. We must think green grass and getting sun tans. We can do this. WE WILL BE ICE FISHING IN APRIL!

The only way I can get through this early ending is to inhale large amounts of 2 stroke and to counter steer on sidehills.....
