Lee... Was there much snow on top of the ice or did the wind blow most of it off? Thanks.

Snow covered, but very windy here today.... VERY. What snow we got (3") was dry and fine. Shouldn't affect ice formation much. Most of it will have blown away by this evening.  I'll check again later this afternoon... I'll probably walk out a bit.

Thanks for the info! BTW, do you guys have any suggestions where to start fishing once the ice is good? I've fished the lake a bunch from a boat but never on the ice. I always hear about the bouy line being a good starting point. Any other places you guys would suggest? Thanks for any help.

The bouy line is as good place as any to start. It is accessed from the Pike Bay parking area in the North west side of lake. Rt 305 launch and the cemetery on the south side are also good places to try.

Did marina today, won't be going back for a few days until the main lake is okay.  1.5-2" found a patch of 3" and fished it for 3 hours, couple dink gills and perch.  Came back 10 foot off the path I went out, and spud bar went through with a light tap.  Less than 1.25" 10 feet from 2-3".  Water is very stained and jigs were moving to the side of the hole, think there is a lot of water running through there yet. 
More snow and wind tonight and they have 2 gates wide open drawing water off, bad timing since we all want to be out fishing.  Anyone got 4+" on a small farm pond for me  ;D

Steelineyes.... were you in the clam flipover, or were you the one I talked to that had just gotten there????

Post by: steelneyes on January 09, 2015, 07:27:46 AM
I was the one who had just gotten there.  Gonna be even worse out there now with the wind and new snow, no way of telling what is what.  I'm gonna hunker down for a few days and hope conditions improve.  I would almost put money on it someone is gonna go through today or tomorrow.  Will certainly put money on it that it won't be me.

I checked ice at the marina and 305 launch today, ice was 2.5" at best. There was a pretty decent snow covering on lake. I was hoping to get out Sunday but not sure. I Will check it again Sunday. Anybody have any reports from the bouy line?

Lee I checked ice on main lake out from marina parking lot this am, still a little thin for me, how thick was it in marina?

Marina has 2-3". As long as you don't bunch up, there should be no problem.
