Ice Reports 2014-2015

[rossthebear]

Fished moses yesterday. Very slow day of fishing for most everyone though one guy was killin it. Most people lucky to have 2 fish at the end of the day. Ice ranged from 2-6 inches thick but you had I walk through the 2 inches to get to the 6 inches. Had the ice start buckling on me a few times underneath my feet and could see cracks forming and running. The walk back was pretty bad. Puddles on top with ice cracking underneath. We need a few nights in the teens to get some good stable ice. You could see the ice getting thinner as the day went on. Be careful out there.

Bow_Slayer, check out: "Fish Lake Ice Fishing" on Facebook. Personally, I would stay away, but there are reports that people are going out

Josh, thanks for the update on Bead Lake. The saddle just north of mineral bay is a good spot. Here are two links to Bead Lake, an old cool looking fishing map and the original planting records for lake trout (you have to scroll down a few screens to find Bead on the planting records).

How far out can you walk. Usually around 35+ ft is where the "bigger" perch were at.

Anybody know the condition of Mattoon in Ellensburg?

[Dave M]

Mattoon ice is not good. Most of the lake is frozen but slushy, lots of open spaces. Ther is a pretty good size area on the SW corner that is open and fishable. Didnt have much time but talked to a local that showed up and he says they are still catching the brood stock that were put in last fall.

Any idea on fish lake's ice condition

[fishinChristian]

I think ice fishing may be over, but higher and farther North may prove me wrong... It happens.
