Re: Ice thickness! NCW
I just returned from Fish Lake near Lake Wenatchee and Patterson by Winthrop. Ice is beaucoup thick at both! Ice ranged from 18" - 2'! Thicker than I usually fish. Not a year that an axe would work all that well.... You should find good hard white ice on top, a layer of somewhat soft ice in the middle and then thick clear ice on the bottom of about 18" at Roses. Although, I didn't stop at Roses. I caught trout and sculpin at Fish, NO perch. Patterson provided a fairy quick limit of kokanee but only one perch. Patterson doesn't seem to be infested with perch any more......

I wish it was only an hour for me......... LMAO If I lived in E Wenatchee, it might only take 30 minutes.... to get to Fish Lake... I'd also check Evergreen for easy perch and a possible walleye......... again, might only be 30 minutes..... ok 45 if you include your walk in.. LOL Best of luck to ya!
