Wondering if the ice is still good on Chatfield with this warm weather. Was thinking of going out Friday morning. May just have to fish open water by dam with this weather...

Dam is capped....
BUT..... really sketchy the farther East of the tower You go...
So. end has 10" or so....
And NOTHING but slimers..... mostly...>

was there yesterday over by the dam. ice was fine around five inches. only managed three smallmouth all over 15inches. had more marks then usual but verry finicky fish.the weather has not got as warm as they predicted yet. but be cautious .i actually walked around from the north boat ramp toward the south and west and then headed over there. seen lots of cracks that had refroze so just be careful.

Ice was good over at Catfish Flats, but fishing was slow. :'( I saw a lot more open water than I expected on the east side of the lake.

 

[littlemac]

wasn't any open water yesterday, are you sure it was water or just darker ice.

 

[albow]

Just what I saw from the road this afternoon, didn't go over to that side. If it was ice I sure wouldn't want to go out on it.

 

[littlemac]

its ice,just thin and dark.probably will open up again real soon

Thanks for the reports... I am hoping that I can get out on the reservoir once more before iceout. Maybe Friday morning for walleye if the ice holds.

Um I dont think 7 or 8 inches of ice I saw on the south arm before the cold snap is going to melt by Friday...you wont even be able to get a boat on the lake until mid march...it takes some serious energy to undo that frozen ish...

Hey,

I'm gonna try out the Eagle Cove area (Deer Creek inlet just North of the swim beach) tomorrow (Saturday morning). I didn't have much luck out there last Saturday ... but I do not give up easy.

I'll be the guy with the green wagon and the camo down suite.

Hope to see you guys out there.
