Latest snow storm will idle trout fishing for several weeks!

[greatoutdoors]

The latest snow storm and winds will idle lake trout fishing for two to three weeks unless we get a miracle.
The plowed roads were getting a lot of water and slush all over them on Burntside and Snowbank Lakes before we got this dumped on us.
Ely area received about 12-14 inches of snow, which created 2-3 foot drifts on the lakes.
This is going to make travel next to impossible unless you have a wide track, high HP snowmobile or an ATV with Camoplast Tracks.

Boy O Boy!,

I sure wish I could be there to share your misery Jimmy.

Sounds like the perfect excuse to go buy a ranger with tracks to me.

The Ranger with tracks goes good through snow and slush, even crummy stuff like this.
It's when you step out of it into knee deep, or deeper snow, that the trouble begins.  Then there's that 6-12 inches of water and slush below the snow that makes things interesting.
You can auger a hole to fish, but with all the water below the snow, it's like fishing in a toilet that never quits flushing.
