Default ice starting on Gull or Pine

We have had some cold nights lately, has the ice even started on pine or gull yet? I know by this time last year the ice on pine stretched out a ways. Seems alot warmer this year.

Havent been out to any lakes yet but the pond out here has 4 or 5 inches on it. The NSR has some pretty good iceflow in it and in the calmer side pools there is about 2 -4 inches. So far its good clear ice this year. Shouldnt be too long before the hard water season start.

Trout ponds in the foothills have been reported to have 4-5" of ice on by some of my chaps, but still deer for me so I can't confirm.

Trout pond here is solid 3-5 inches. may cut some holes this weekend! Smaller lakes are also covered. But we are -8 to -12 every night so that is helping a lot.

Default Ice report for lakes out by Rocky Mountain House

This week I am going to going out by Rocky to go check some of the stocked ponds out to see if a guy can walk out and drill a few wholes. I will post again in the next week for you guys.
