Townsend Flowage

There is a couple of inches of  powder on the ice which is a blessing for walking. The wind may blow some of that around though. There were 3-4 trucks on the ice Saturday between Tipsy's and the bridge.

If anyone could give an update on ice and travel conditions, it would be greatly appreciated.

I went on a lake yesterday in that area. About 8-9 inches of ice- no slush, very little snow. I would wear ice cleats so you don't slip. Travel was fine with a fourwheeler or walking. As always use caution or avoid around creek inlets and outlets 

Happy Hooker hopefully somebody responds, I am wondering the same thing.  If you don't get an answer call the bait shop in lakewood they are pretty informative, or Hardware Hank.  Last week the bait shop told me the ice was 6-7 inches on most of the lakes but the melt off created hidden thin areas.  They told me a lot of reports of ATVS had broken through.  

Anyone willing to give an ice report? Heading up this weekend and would like to know how the ice is. TIA

Is there still ice? Is there anyone still ice fishing?

Most likely a low oxygen situation. Happened to me once on a favorite northern spot in shallower water.  Had a lot of snow and slush that winter.  Only thing I could think off was a large weed die-off, reducing oxygen in that area.  I knew something was up with smell of the water. Moved to different part of lake and was OK with suckers and shiners surviving.  

Fished 3/4 and 3/5, we fished a few different spots all about 6-14 fow. 12 tip ups, not a single flag!! Checked tip ups every hour, minnows were dead every time on every one. They were alive and swimming when we put them down. Anyone know if this could be an oxygen issue or what? I am ruling out user error, never had it every tip up ever time. Hoping there isnt a possible big kill off?
