Ice Conditions around Caroline
 

Any one know of the ice conditions on any of the little lakes around caroline? Thinking of trying my luck out around there.

Thanks

Around here it's looking good so should be the same down there.

Thanks for the info Tundra, do you know how thick the ice is?

Cow Lake apparently has at least 6 inches, so I'm thinking Burnstick, Birch, Tay, Swan, Phyllis, Alford should all be good to go.

Anybody been to Dickson Trout pond yet? You think it would be good to go by now?

I'd say it would be. That lake is too easy though. Fish in 10 feet of water and less, ice should be adequate but i really have no idea.

swan lake has probly 10 inches the middle isn't very thick thought .. guess were fallling throught when we had that warm snap birch is thick enough too drive on fishing was great haven't caught any big ones outta there this year... phillas lake has about 14 inches of ice seen a 10 pounder swim rate below my hole thought he was comen up my hole great fishing since they stocked it lots of little guys....:evilgrin:

How is the fishing at Phillis? I have never been there before but am thinking of heading up there on saturday. Are there any reccommended spots or tactics anyone might feel inclined to share? How is it for wind? Thanks RH

Sunday Jan. 18 fished at Strubel from 1100am to 230pm until the skidoos took over the lake. Landed 8 rainbows 10" while standing on 14" of ice. There as about 25-30 pick-ups on the pond but it was too nice a day to go home. A conservation officer spent the day at the lake and counted the catch/release all cay. We released all 8.

Phillas lake if u go that is really windy u will get wind we have only caught little ones like couple of inches but we have seen the brod stock skiming just on the botttom of the ice just usen corn and a wire worm works best if u got a hut and u can see the action...
