Well, me and my Dad went out fishing to the lower lake near the boat launch by the lake with the bridge to the island. We figured it was a nice day to test the new fishing tent and powered ice auger. No more manual hole drilling for me. :sHa_shakeshout:
The ice was an average of 11" thick 50-75 yards from shore but it was covered in ~1/2" of slush under the snow?
All we caught were smaller fish in the 6"-8" range.
There was also a family out and had a bunch of snowmobiles on the lake. There is a big sign saying that they are not allowed but the person said "F&W officer so and so said they are allowed on the lake but not the trails so we are allowed" So we had to listen to them ripping up and down the lake all day. Will be phoning the Forestry office on Monday to find out what is what.
